Kincaid Listers, Below is the letter from the Debra who sent us the letters from James Kincaid. I think you will find her report interesting! We are glad that she was interested in history when a teenager! Don Hello again, I still have the letters. I have only transcribed two - the third letter is so damaged it is almost unreadable, but I'll send it along anyway. I don't know if you know the story behind the letters - I grew up in Alexandria and my father worked in and on many of the old townhouses back in the 50s, 60s and 70s. One owner was cleaning out his building to sell it. The building had not been lived in or renovated for a long, long time and it contained many historical artifacts. My father emptied the contents of an old desk into a paper bag and brought them home to me - a teenager at the time, but very interested in history. Until the advent of the internet it was very time consuming to find out anything about the authors of the invoices, letters etc. or their descendants. But that has all changed. So I have two binders of old stuff - mostly invoices and letters from various folks who lived or worked in the Alexandria, Washington D.C., Georgetown areas from the late 1790s to about 1820. When I'm not working on my genealogy - I see what I can find out about these folks. I am not related to James Kincaid at all. I have been doing my own genealogy for about 30 years - but not a professional. I've assisted many people in their searches, though.

We have seen what one letter said but not the other 2. If possible please send copies of the other 2 letters.
