General Notes

from Early Western Augusta Pioneers by George W. Cleek:

"The Kincaid (also found Kinkead) family is of the Scottish Clan. David Kincaid, brother of the Laird, took part in the unsuccessful Stuart Rebellion in 1715, and was in consequence forced to leave Scotland. He came to Spotsylvania County, Virginia, where he took up land with George Robinson; later moved to Albemarle County, thence to Augusta County and finally died in Bath County. He arrived in America shortly after 1715, and was an early settler in Orange County, Va., and reared a large family. He built the first Augusta jail. Among his children were Jean (or Jane) Kincaid who married Robert Gwin, and Isabella Kincaid who married James Lockridge."
