The person with the letters was one Debra Miller. This James Kincaid is a real interesting mystery.

This is what she wrote, but it is over 10 years ago: "Please contact me at Joanjmm@aol.com if you have a connection or any information regarding the following: Robert Patton, Jr., merchant and shipbuilder, b. 1775 or before, probably in Ireland, married Ann Clifton Reeder b. abt. 1781, daughter of Benjamin Reeder and Eleanor Clifton Slaughter (Eleanor daughter of Thomas Slaughter and Ann Clifton), in 1805, Alexandria, Fairfax Co., VA, at the Clifton Lodge, the residence of his brother James Patton, also a merchant and shipbuilder. Robert and his brother James worked closely with a James Kincaid who handled their business affairs." http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/VAFAIRFA/2000-02/0949940959 I will look up the reference to Mollie. My ancestor Robert/Mary of Hardin named his wife as Molly in his 1820 RW pension application.

What makes you believe that Mollie was a daughter of James Kincaid of Boston? What links the James and John witnesses to James Kincaid of Boston? Best wishes!

Notice that there was a John Kincaid who was a witness with James Kincaid. Possibly brothers? James Kincaid is believed to have been the father of Mary Ann, or Mollie, the wife of James Patton.
