"Young Clan of Shelby CO Indiana"  George Young oldhiker50@@aol.com (who has generously contributed the following narrative to AWTP): 
"Alexander was a pharmacist in Edinburgh. When Charles Stuart attempted to retake the throne in 1745 and was defeated four sons of Alexander Kincaid fought inder Cluny McPherson, in the rear guard action following Stuart's retreat, where they were captured. All this took place within a few miles of KINCAID and the family retainers soon learned of the capture. The wives of the two married brothers, Samuel P-30 and George P-11, were taken to Glasgow with some of their furniture and the four brothers, Samuel P-30; George, P-11; James, P-31; Robert, P-32, were spirited out of the English camp, and all of them put on board ship. They came to Virginia fairly well supplied with "siller", and on advice of their uncle David, O-6 settled in Augusta Co.
"The name Kincaid came from a 30,000-acre area in Scotland called the Lands of Kyncade. Several Kincaids emigrated from Scotland and also from Ireland. One of Alexander Kincaid's four sons who left Sterlingshire, Scotland for Pennsylvania was Samuel Kincaid, who ultimately settled in Virginia."
