Dear Kincaid-listers, I have taken another look at the John Kincaids in the Pennsylvania Continental line. I have already identified the John Kincaid, private or matross, in the Artillery Artificer Regiment, who was stationed the Carlisle Munitions Lab, and who later died in Butler County, PA in 1814. Then there is a John Kincaid who is a private in Capt. William Wilson's Company, 1780 John Kinkead, [000024] private, in Capt. William Wilson’s Company, 1st Penn. Regiment, commanded by Col. James Chambers, from Sept.-Oct. 1780. Pennsylvania Archives, s. 3, v. 23, p.364. 1780 John Kenkead, private, engaged, June 28th, expires, January 15th 1781, Muster Roll of Capt. William Wilson’s Company, 1st Regiment, Pennsylvania Continental Line in the service of the United States of America, commanded by Col. James Chambers for months of Sept. & October 1780. Pennsylvania Archives, s. 6, v. 2, p. 848. 1780 John Kinkead, [000024] private, discharged from Capt.

Pennsylvania Archives, s. 6, v. 2, p. 852. 1781 John Kinkead, [000024] private, Capt. William Wilson’s Company, 1st Penn. Regiment from the enlistment of 1780, discharged, January 15, 1781. Pennsylvania Archives, s. v. p. 1785 John Kinkead, Capt. William Wilson, 1st Regiment, 7 months man, discharged, return of men enlisted for seven months in the Penn. Line, Pay Office, Philadelphia, 17 May 1785. Active Duty Line. Record Proves Active Duty. Pennsylvania State Archives Online Card File I believe this John Kincaid to be my John Kincaid who married Margaret Miles and serves with his brother who was a corporal. 1780 Andrew Kinkead, Corp. Capt. William Wilson’s Company, 1st Regiment Pennsylvania in the service of the United States Commanded by Col. James Chambers for months of September and October, 1780. Pennsylvania Archives, s. 3, vol. 23, p. 364. Then there is a younger John Kincaid who enlists in 1781. 1781 John Kinkead, inlisted for Class No. 131 for 18 mo. From the 1st of July, 1781, aged about 18 yrs., 5 feet 8 inches high, sandy col'd hair, fair complexion, born in Cumberland county, a laborer. 30th August, 1781. Notes and Queries edited by William Henry Egle, 1900, p. 200. 1781 John Kinkaid, [000024] private, in Col. Craig’s detachment, 1st Penn. Regiment Continental Line, in Jackson’s Company, 1st Regiment, 1781, transferred to Zigler’s Company, 1782. Pennsylvania Archives, s. 5, v. 2, p. 753. John Kincaid, artificer was in Isaac Craig's detachment under General William Irvine stationed at Fort Pitt. 1782 John Kinkead, [000024] artificer, on roll of Major Isaac Craig’s Detachment, 4th Penn. Regiment for Feb.1782, December 1782, & March 1783, stationed at Fort Pitt. Pennsylvania Archives, s. 5, v. 3, p. 1059. 1782 John Kincaid, [000024] private, carpenter, on return of Capt. Thomas Wylie’s Company, Penn. Corps of Artillery & Artificers stationed at Fort Pitt, November 1, 1782. Pennsylvania Archives, s. 5, v. 3, p. 1096; Record proves active duty. Pennsylvania State Archives Online Card File I had thought that the John Kincaid serving in Capt. William Wilson's company was the same John Kincaid who enlisted for 18 months with Capt. Jackson then with Capt. David Zigler's Company. But David Zigler's Company marched with Col. Thomas Craig's detachment on the campaign in the Carolinas and Charlston from Jan.-Nov. 1782. I now believe that Private John Kincaid in Capt. David Zigler's is a different man than the John Kincaid who served in Capt. William Wilson's Company and was not re-enlisting after his discharge for Capt. William Wilson's company. My John Kincaid was married Oct. 31, 1782. The John Kincaid in Capt. David Zigler's Company was in the Carolinas from Jan. 1782 to as late as Nov. 1782. Another interesting item is that John Jordan was Capt. stationed at the Carlisle Muntions Lab from 1777 to 1783. John Jordan was guardian of John Kincaid, son of Andrew, grandson of John Kinkead, the merchant and was an executor of John Kinkead the merchant's estate. Sincerely Norman Kincaide
