Biography
Research Notes
This profile was linked to Alexander Kincaid (1670-abt.1737) who remained in Scotland, had a different wife at the same as this child was born.
The linked sibling was born later in Scotland, which is unlikely if the mother had a child first in Virginia.

Many researchers indicate that our Thomas Kincaid of Muddy Creek Mountain was born in Albemarle County in 1742 and suggest he may be the above named son of James (who died in 1762) and Jean Kincaid of that county. A review of the Albemarle County records reveal that the Widow Jean Kincaid gave 207 acres to her son Thomas Kinkead in 1774. Thomas and his wife Mary are recorded later selling this same land to Samuel Muse in 1779. (This is obviously not the same Thomas married to Hannah Tincher).
The early deeds involving the widow Jean Kincaid (Kinkead) and her son Thomas are as follows: July 25, 1765: Deed from Andrew Woods to Jean Kinkead, relict of James Kinkead, deceased, both of Albemarle, 409 acres for L 35. On both sides of a Branch to the east of Armour Mtn. Being part of a John Chiswell grant. Neighbors: John Rodes, David Glen, James Glen, William Gregg. Witnesses: Joseph Kinkead, Thos. Kinkead (John's son), Thos. Kinkead (James' son).
April 14, 1774: Gift Deed from Jane Kinkead to Thomas Kinkead, her son, both of Albemarle, 207 acres for L 5. Neighbors: Chas. Roads (road to Charlottesville?), John Winkfield(?). Witnesses: James Logan, John Reed(?), Wm. Wood(?), Jr.
Oct 13, 1779: Deed from Thomas & Mary Kincade of Albemarle to Samuel Muse of Westmoreland, 207 acres for L 830. Neighbors: Jno. Winkfield, Chal Road, has. Lambert, Jean Kincade. No witnesses.
Nov 11, 1780: Deed from Jane Kinkade of Rockbridge Co. to Abner Wood of Albemarle, 200 acres for L 500. Neighbors: John Piper, Nathaniel Gibson, Jessee(?) Tate, Andrew Munroe, William Gregg, Anne Garland. No witnesses
