The message below (which I have cross-posted to Wilson-L) raises an interesting possibility of interactions between the Kincaid's and the Wilson's. My gggf, Robert L. Wilson [whose family is claimed to have come from Ireland > York Co., PA (1775) > Washington Co., PA (abt 1782) > Perry Co., OH (1811)] went from Ohio to Bath Co., KY, where he married Eliza J. Kincaid (well-documented from the Archibald/Andrew line of Cumberland Co., PA). Now we have a second mention of contact between the Kincaid and Wilson families that appear to have also followed the York Co., PA > Washington Co., PA migration route. Archibald Kincaid of Cumberland Co., PA (who married Janette Townley or Townsley) is believed to have had a son named Samuel, born 1789. This is obviously too late for him to be the Samuel Kincaid mentioned in the Leckey book, but suggests the possibility that there might be another Samuel Kincaid in this line -- maybe a brother of Archibald & Andrew?
