Sue, I do have the estate papers for Elizabeth Murdock Kincaid, widow of Thomas Kincaid (b.abt. 1775 VA- d.abt.1844 IN). Here is the court order from Boone Co, IN May term 1854. "In the matter of the estate of Elizabeth Kincade, dec'd. Distribution to heirs. Comes now said Andrew Kincade and on proof to the court orally made, it is ordered that the money and notes found to be due is ordered to be distributed and paid to the following persons, heirs to said estate in equal proportions, viz James Kincade, Elizabeth Frazier, Thomas Kincade, John Kincade, Margaret Vangorder, Andrew Kincade, Sarah Whitecotton and William Kincade and upon calculation it is found that after paying expenses accrued since last term, there is $65.80 for distribution whiuch will pay to each of said heirs, and the clerk of this court is ordered to make distribution accordingly by Oct. 11th, 1855. Rec'd of Kise Clerk on an order from Madison G. Walker, guardian of the minor heirs of Thomas Kincade decd. $8.22 his share above my distributive share in above estate. signed James Kincaid, Wm. B. Kincaid, May 2, 1854, S.C. Doughtery, Judge." Note: The punctuation from the handwritten copy may be faulty, but I think one can get the idea of the heirs of Elizabeth Kincaid (and notice that Kincaid is not always spelled the same in this document) . The son, Thomas, died in Feb 1846 in Madison Co, IN. His sons were James and Madison. The $8.22 distribution would come out right for 8 children of Elizabeth. I have not found any Matthew Kincaid in the lineage of Thomas and Elizabeth Murcock Kincaid in Madison Co, IN or Boone Co., IN. Elizabeth's Bill of Sale for her estate lists buyers, and most of them are children and grandchildren--known names in the family, but there is no Matthew. I really don't know about the children of Francis and Nancy Murdock Kincaid. I've seen the names Rev. Nathaniel Francis Kincaid and Thomas Kincaid who died in Oregon. But there are probably others. I hope this helps in some way.

Do you have copies of her estate papers or know who the heirs are? We do not have a listing of the children of Thomas/Elizabeth. This would help tremendously in sorting out Indiana families. In particularly I am wondering whether Mathew/Elizabeth Kincaid from the 1850-1860 Wayne Co. IA census belonged to her. There are only 2 counties between Wayne and VanBuren. Another possibility for his father is Francis/Nancy Murdock. I believe when Francis's son Thomas was wondering about he mentioned going to Iowa to see relatives.
