I have been trying to fill cracks in my genealogy recently, as I am getting ready to go on a genealogy hunting trip. One of the relatives I was trying to fill out is one Rufus Morgan Kincaid (1827-?) He moved from Tennessee (thru 1860 census) to Kansas (1880) via Indiana (per 1870) census. He is listed on the 1880 and 1910 census in Hiawatha, Brown County, KS. Well I was having a devil of a time finding the guy and his family. What i know about him: Born TN, parents born TN. Wife: Mary Born TN ca 1826, parents PA and SC. Son: WIllis M: b. 1865 Parents TN and TN So I did some hard searching of the 1900 census and found an R.M. Kincaid, born the same year, parnts TN, schoolteacher; wife Mary born 1826 TN; Parents PA and SC; and Willis M B 1865 parents TN and TN. Now, this may be a whole other family but I cannot imagine that much overlap with features like one having parents from PA and SC. I had always thought he was a hick farmer from TN who moved to KS and died. How he got to Denton, TX I will never know. I guess what I would like to know is whether there are suggestions as to what resources I might use to find if this is really him in Texas. Does anyone have access to Denton city directories around 1900? City lot maps with owners' names? ANy help, most appreciated. Mike
