Checking my notes, I see I missed a key point which, to me, links this James Kincaid of Georgetown as the third son of John Kincaid of Kincaid and Elizabeth Danziel. Heather Kincaid of Kincaid had in her family chart that the Laird of Kincaid's son James died in Georgetown (her chart says Georgetown, Carolina) on 10 June 1827. Aside from the Carolina reference, this fits extremely well with the notice in the The New York Evening Post, in its 13 June 1827 issue, for the death of Jas. Kincaid, age 53, at Georgetown, D.C. on Sunday 10 June 1827. For all of us keen on the DNA project, this family represents the best chance we have to get a DNA sample of the main line of the Kincaids of Kincaid which can be documented. Hence, I would love to learn what happened to his two sons and whether they left issue. Peter A. Kincaid Fredericton, NB, Canada ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter A. Kincaid To: Peter A.

This fits well with the Laird of Kincaid's son James who is noted as having had two sons. Hence my comment that this record 'likely' relates to the Laird's son. These people were well to do.

He died in Georgetown, District of Columbia on 10 June 1827. The Lennox of Woodhead papers places him there in 1825. He is recorded as having two sons. There are two sources for the sons names; one is the Lennox of Woodhead papers and the other is a family chart of Heather Veronica Kincaid. The former names the sons as John and George while the latter names them as John and James. Heather states that the son died in New Orleans; James in 1828 and John on 8 May 1833. Until evidence is found support these dates I don't treat them seriously. I certainly would love to learn what happened to these two sons. Best wishes! Peter A.

James Kincaid and John Murdock were in the 1820 census of the District of Columbia. "Robert Monroe was in Detroit as early as 1803, when he was fined for keeping a "stove pipe" which at that time was an offence against the fire protection ordinance. He refused to pay his fine, but upon removing the "nuisance" was excused. He was agent of the public stores and attorney to settle the estate of John Francis Hamtramck. In 1805 he wrote Governor Harrison an account of the fire. He left Detroit in 1806, traveling to Washington, D. C., New York City and finally went to Kingston, Jamaica, where he visited a brother, a practicing lawyer, whom he had not seen for twelve years. He again returned to America. He died in Washington, D. C. His will was proved and allowed May 14, 1819. The executors named in the will were James Kincaid and John Murdock. Monroe left two sons, Robert and James, who were in Pennsylvania in 1827." **************************** The above information was found in google books: Governor and Judges Journal: Proceedings of the Land Board of Detroit By Michigan Commission on land titles, Clarence Monroe Burton Published by , 1915 Original from the University of Michigan Digitized Oct 3, 2007 314 pages http://books.google.com/books?id=8FRLAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA202&lpg=PA202&dq=%22James+Kincaid%22+%2B+Mordock&source=web&ots=15oAWl6Vcd&sig=Rv3dHYBgAwl9kujQW9IG9282V_k&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=10&ct=result#PPA202,M1 Barb Van Hout To see the Kincaid of all spellings DNA chart in Excel: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~adgedge/Research/April%202004/Kincaid%20%20DNA.xls ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to KINCAID-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
