I see that a Debra has 3 letters from James Kincaid of Boston to James Patton. She posted on genforum February 16, 2000 seeking info on James Kincaid but no replies to her post yet. http://genforum.genealogy.com/kincaid/messages/752.html "Interested in any information on James Kincaid. I believe his sister married James Patton, Esq. a merchant in Alexandria, Va. I have three letters written by James Kincaid in the early 1800s to James Patton which mention James Patton's mother, sisters and brother. Also a woman named Martha who may be Kincaids sister who married James as "Mollie" Kincaid. Thanks. Debra" The other 2 letters might have some additional info.

It is at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/va/cityofalexandria/history/letters/kincaid8.txt This was noted years ago by Barb Van Hout, but I did not pick up on it much. What is interesting is that James Patton was married to a Mollie Kincaid. James Kincaid of Boston must have been a relative of his wife. Now James Patton is said to have been born in Newtown-Limavady (now called just Limavady), County Londonderry, Ireland. I wonder if Mollie and James were from there as well. From the letter I get the impression that James's wife was Martha. Did anyone follow-up on this James Kincaid of Boston?
