I am still in the job search and hence have a lot of time to do research. Your concern about the DNA sample from your line and the Clingan research have concerned me also. I found it strange that Bill's sample matches the Group C Kincaids. His Thomas Kinkead who married Hannah would have to come from a Group C line about 1745. I would look to Virginia or perhaps the Thomas Kincaid of Lancaster County, PA, later of Augusta County, VA, died in 1751. But that still does not capture your Clingan connection. I'll keep my eyes open for anything that may provide a connection.

Is that still the situation? As you probably know, I've never been fully satisfied with the Clingan research linked to my Thomas Kincaid of Anderson County, Tenn.. Secondly, I'm not satisfied that our representative DNA sample has a proven line--sorry Bill, it's not your fault. However, because our sample does fall in nicely with Group C, the same as Alice's line, there seems to be something there worth pursuing. So if you can, keep your eyes peeled for anything in this regard. Bruce
