William Kinkead7
Both William Kinkead and his wife Eleanor Guy Kinkead are buried in the graveyard of Pisgah Presbyterian church in Woodford County, Ky. The tombstone of William Kinkead is still legible through Eleanor Kinkead’s grave does not have a stone at this time.
Pisgah Presbyterian Church is one of the pioneer churches in Kentuchy, established about 1784 and the William Kinkead family were among its early members. The church is located on the easter edge of Woodford County, one mile north of U.S. Highway 60, 9 miles from Lexington and 5 miles from Versailles, Kentucky.
Unfortunately we are unable to continue this line with any definite assurance of being accurate without involving expenses which would be prohibitive.
While the writer is not in entire agreement with informative which has previously been developed by Miss Elizabeth Shelby Kinkead of Lexington, Kentucky, because of personal inspection of the land and court records in Augusta County, Va. I am furnishing you below information which has been furnished by Miss Kinkead and is incorporated in printed histories which were published some years in advance of the writer’s personal investigation.

Thomas Kinkead275
Sometime before 1736 Thomas Kincaid or Kinkead emigrated from Scotland to America and settled in Lancaster County, Pa., whence he later removed to Augusta County, Va. He was the father by his wife Margaret of William, Thomas, David, Winnifred, John, and Elizabeth, of whom the first made his home in Woodford County, Ky., and was the father by his wife Elinor Guy, whom he married in 1756, of Margaret, Andrew, Isabella, Agnes, William, Eleanor, Susannah, Guy, Rebecca, and John.

William Kinkead (1736-1821)7
Descendants of Archibald Gant and Ancestors of Rebecca Kinkead
William Cooper Weaks 1944

Born January 9, 1736, he was married to Eleanor Guy (1740-1825) on November 30, 1756 in Augusta County, Virginia.
The records at Augusta County, Va., are full of entries covering numerous parties bearing the name of Kinkead. There is quite a variation in the spelling of the name in these old records, which has made it difficult to properly segregate the families and determine the source of their origin or the relationship, if any.
In all probabilities the various families of Kinkeads who were early settlers in this county sprang from a common origin probably in Scotland.
There are references in the early records to indicate that several of these families of Kinkeads came to Augusta County from Lancaster County and Chester County, Pa.
To further complicate the situation there were at least two men named William Kinkead in the county, who were born within 2 years of each other. One of these is this William Kinkead who moved to Kentucky, and the other William died and is buried in Augusta County.
One of these entries covers a suit on a land transaction involving a William Kinkade. In this suit it is stated that the name of his father was Thomas. Subsequent entries which have been personally examined show that the land involved was not disposed of by the William Kinkead who moved to Kentucky but was held until after the war between the states by the descendants of the William Kincaid who remained and died in Augusta County. This explanation is given to clarify a mistaken impression which was held by Miss Elizabeth Shelby Kinkead of Lexington, Kentucky, who believed this entry involved our ancestor, William Kinkead.
In April 1939 the writer had the pleasure of interviewing Judge George B. Kinkead at Lexington, Kentucky, who was then in his 90th year and he passed on some of the family traditions which were handed down to him by his father William Bury Kinkead, a grandson of Capt. William Kinkead, Sr. Judge Kinkead said there was no definite proof of the names of Capt. William Kinkead’s parents, nor was there any definite proof of the names of the parents of Eleanor Guy, his wife. Stories handed down from generation to generation indicate that the ancestors of both William Kinkead and Eleanor guy moved from Scotland to Ireland after the battle of Brothwell Bridge, settling in the northern part of Ireland about 4 miles from Derry. Ancestors from both families are said to have been present at the siege of Londonderry and from the vivid description of conditions during this siege, Judge Kinkead believed there was no question in regard to these families being involved. Judge Kinkead had no information to indicate where these families lived prior to arriving in Augusta County, Virginia, or when they arrived in America.
On April 14, 1764, Eleanor Guy Kinkead (1740-1825) and her 3 children were taken captive by Indians at their home in Augusta County, Va., 20 miles from Staunton, on the road to Warm Springs, near the source of the Big Calfpasture River. Fortunately, a record of this episode has been preserved among the Wisconsin Historical Society, Kentucky papers, in file 1600193, in the form of a copy of a letter written by John Kinkead, son of Eleanor Guy Kinkead, to his son George Blackburn Kinkead.

Captain William Kinkead, Lieutenant and Adjutant in Revolutionary war, settled in Woodford County, Kentucky, in 1789. He was a relative of John Kinkead, of that county, but in what degree is not known. They both came to Kentucky from Pennsylvania via Augusta county, Virginia. Captain William Kinkead married Eleanor Guy in Augusta Count, and had issue: Margaret, Andrew, Isabella, Agnes, William, Eleanor, Susannah, Guy, Rebecca, and John.
John Kinkead, the son of Captain William Kinkead, married Margaret Trotter Blackburn and had issue: George Blackburn, Frances Peart, Prudence, Eleanor and William Bury.
William Bury Kinkead married Elizabeth Fontaine Shelby and had issue: Margaret, Thomas, Shelby, George Blackburn, Frances, Pert, Mary Shelby, Shelby, Edward, Eleanor Talbot, and Elizabeth Shelby, Author of a history of Kentucky and other works and who kindly furnished the sketches of the Kinkead and Fontaine families in this volume.
The Kincaid family, having its seat and origin in Stirlingshire, is one of the oldest in Scotland. The following is taken from Nisbet’s Heraldry: "The Kincaids were in possession of Kincaid in 1280, and is proved by a charter extant. Kincaid, Laird of Kincaid, of Stirlingshire, for his gallant service in rescuing the Castle of Edinburgh from the English in the time of Edward I, was made constable of said Castle, and his posterity enjoyed that office for a long period, carrying the castle in their armorial bearings in memory thereof to this day! The family from which the first in the north of Ireland, from whence several brothers came to "America in 1707, settling at or about Carlisle, Penn., and their descendants scattered through Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee.
"William Kinkead was born in Pennsylvania (I am not absolutely certain about the State, it may have been Virginia, but my father believes that William Kinkead was born before the removal from Pennsylvania) January 9, 1736, died in Woodford County, Kentucky, May 3, 1823. Eleanor Guy was born August 17, 1740, was married to William Kinkead November 30, 1756 and died October 9, 1825 (Woodford County, Kentucky).
"The following is copied from my father’s (William Bury Kinkead) narrative above referred to: The ancestors of my grandparents (William and Eleanor Guy Kinkead) were Scotch people. They left Scotland after the battle of Bothwell Bridge, and went to Ireland, settling in the northern part of that country. My grandmother’s people, about four miles out from Derry. They were devout Presbyterians, but did not side with either of the extreme parties of that day. King William represented their ideas, and they held him in highest admiration!
"My grandfather bought a beautiful farm in Woodford County (Kentucky) known as "Cane Spring", on the banks of the Elkhorn.

Descendants of Archibald Gant and Ancestors of Rebecca Kinkead
William Cooper Weaks 1944

In the year 1764 William Kinkead lived near the source of the Big Calfpasture River, Augusta County, his family consisting of his wife, two children – a boy and a girl. – The story is that because of the insecurity of the times, the neighbors had brought their possessions to Kinkead’s house, it being larger and safer hiding place than their own dwellings. This fact became known and led to the attack by the Indians. On the 14th of April, 1764, Kinkead being out on his farm, his house was beset by a party of savages. His wife, finding that escape was impossible, with extraordinary heroism, assisted the Indians in their hurried preparations to leave, so that they might get off before her husband's return, and danger to his life be avoided. – When he came back, his wife and children had been carried off.
Nothing was heard of the captives till after Boquet’s treaty of November, 1764, when Mrs. Kinkead, with other prisoners, was delivered in pursuance of the stipulations., She carried in her arms an infant daughter born during her captivity, July 25, 1764. Her. Account of the two older children was, that the boy kept up with the party on their trip to Ohio for several days; but he was put in the immediate charge of a young Indian, who seemed to take pleasure in tormenting the child, often pushing him back and forcing him to reclimb banks and steep places. By this system of treatment the little captive became unable to proceed as at first. He was Tomahawked and killed in his mother’s presence, one of the Indians, however, having the humanity to cover her eyes that she might not witness the spectacle. The little daughter was separated from her mother about the time the infant was born. Her name was Isabella.
She was not recovered by her parents till sometime after her mother’s release. When brought to the Rendezvous, she was dressed in skins and clung to the skirts of a squaw. So changed was she in appearance that even her mother failed to recognizer at first, but finally identified her by a scar on her foot, where she had been bled. She grew up, and married Andrew Hamilton, and has many descendants.
Mrs. Kinkead stated that the Indians treated her personally with kindness, and that at the time of her confinement everything possible was done for her comfort. The maiden name of Mrs. Kinkead was Eleanor Guy. Her maternal GrandFather was in the siege of Londonderry.
For most of the facts in this narrative, we are indebted to Miss Elizabeth Shelby Kinkead, of Lexington, Ky., an Daughter of Judge William . Kinkead, and a great-granddaughter of William Kinkead; and to Hon. John S. Wise whose wife is a descendant of Andrew and Isabella Hamilton.
William Kinkead was Captain of a company sent to protect the frontier in 1777. He also commanded a company of col. Sampson Mathew’s regiment which served in lower Virginia, in 1781, having Jacob Warwick as his Lieutenant. He sold his farm in 1789, and removed to Kentucky where he died in 1820.

Birth: (1,2,11a) 9 Jan 1736. (1,2) Augusta Co., VA. (10) The Kinkeads, orignally spelled Kincaid, were from Scotland. 1736, s/o Thomas Kincaid. Tradition says that the grandfather of Thomas renounced the Lairdship of Kincaid during the Revolution of 1688 on account of religious convictions and went to the north of Ireland. (11a) Not son of Thomas Kincaid (d. 1750, Augusta Co., VA)/Margaret Lockhart, whose eldest son William lived near this William's family but continued to live in Deerfield Valley, VA and died there, where he is buried. (10,11a,12) Carlisle, PA. (11c) 4 Jan 1736. (12) 9 Jan 1739. Eldest s/o Thomas Kincaid/Margaret Lockhart. It was about the time of the Revolution that the spelling of the name was changed from Kincaid to Kinkead. (NOTE: According to Augusta Co., VA chancery records, Kinkead vs. Lockridge, May 1753, William Kinkead, under 21 years, eldest son of Thomas Kinkead late of Augusta Co., by James Lockhart, his next friend, states that Thomas Kinkead of Lancaster Co., PA came to Augusta Co. in 1747 with his family & bought land bounded by John Preston, Robert Lockeridge & Robert Gwin, then died in 1750 intestate. The William in this suit would have been born after 1733 & before 1750, and would have been the right age to have been the William that married Eleanor Guy. The father Thomas is supposedly, according to the above sources, the Thomas who m. Margaret Lockhart. Source 11a's identity of other Kincaids was in error, so could be also in this case.)

Marriage to Eleanor Guy: (1) 3 Nov 1756. (2,llb,c) (10) 1756. (11a,12a) 30 Nov 1756.

Death: (2,11a,c) 3 May 1823. (10) 1820. (12) 30 May 1820. (15a) Will recorded Woodford Co., KY. No date given.

Burial: (11a,12) Pisgah Church, Woodford Co., KY.

(11a) Moved with his parents from Carlisle, Cumberland Co., PA to Augusta Co., VA.

(1) 1747: Lived in Augusta Co., VA until after the Revolution.

(12a) 1764, 14 Apr: (1) 14 Apr 1763. (11a) 1764. (12a) His wife was taken captive by the Indians from Augusta Co., VA, 20 miles from Staunton, on the road to the Warm Springs. She had, when she was taken, 3 children, the eldest a daughter, seven years old, the second a son four years old, the youngest, "your Aunt Hamilton," two years old. When the Indians came to the house, "your grandfather" had but a short time left. He had eaten his dinner, and gone to the fields out of sight of the house, to plough... "Your grandfather" did not return to the house until night... He immediately turned out to raise a company to pursue them, and started the next morning and followed them for two or three days, but the difficulty of keeping on the trail was too great. (NOTE: Warm Springs is in present Bath Co., VA, to the west-southwest of Staunton. As the crow flies, 20 miles would be in the southwest corner of present Augusta Co., but the road probably ran somewhat along one of the present roads that direction, probably placing his home somewhere in the vicinity of Deerfield, Augusta Co., VA. "Virginia Frontier" by Kegley states that in 1744 an early settlement on 16,500 acres on the Calfpasture granted to James Patton and John Lewis was originally settled by Alexander Dunlap, Henry Gay, Robert Gay, James Lockridge, William Hamilton, William Gay, Samuel Gay, Samuel Hodge, John Preston & John Kincaid, among others. A deed shows that John Kinkead, clerk of Chester Co., PA, deeded in 1754 part of the Patton/Lewis tract to John Kinkead of Augusta Co., VA, weaver, and the deed was delivered to Thomas Kinkead in 1761. In 1754, a petition for a mill on the place of Andrew Lockridge "who has lately settled there" was signed by Andrew and John Kincaid. In 1770, John Kincaid and Elizabeth his wife deeded 160 acres of the Calfpasture to their son Andrew. One source identifies that John as s/o David Kincaid/Winnifred Hobson. If his family is correctly identified, that John did not have a son William, and may have been too young to have had a grandson William b. 1736. See notes under that John. However, the 1754 deed from John of Chester Co., PA casts some doubt on the indentification.)

(12a) 1764, fall: The fall after his wife's capture, an army was sent against the Indians, commanded by General Boquette. The Indians were alarmed and agreed to make peace and bring in all the persons they held as captives, when upwards of 200 persons were given up, and among them "your grandmother," her infant three months old and the one two years old, the oldest having taken sick and died during the summer. "Your grandfather" was with the army when the little girl was given up. "Your grandmother" knew her immediately, but he could not recognize her, and was in great uneasiness, until her mother asked him if he did not recollect having bled her in the foot. He said he did, and stripped of her moccasin. There was the mark. The Great Spirit was kind to her, and delivered her out of their hands in just six months from the time she was taken captive. They returned to Augusta County, from where she was taken, and remained there until 1789, and then moved "here" (Cane Spring, Woodford Co., KY), where they lived until her death. (10,11a) 1764: Volunteer in the expedition commanded by Col. Bouquet against the Ohio Indians. (13) William & Thomas Kinkead of Capt. Lewis' Co., Boquet's Expedition of 1764, allowed certificates for military services, Augusta Co., VA.

(10,11a,12) 1765: Bought a tract of land from Samuel Hodge on the Great Calf Pasture River, Augusta Co., VA, where he resided until he moved to KY. (11a) Lived on the Calf Pasture River.
