Birth: (1) 19 Apr 1762. (1,2,3a,5) d/o William Kinkead/Eleanor Guy. (2) VA. (3a) Was age 2 in 1764 (b. 1762). (3) 10 Apr 1762. (5a) 3 Mar 1762. (NOTE: There appears to be a problem with this family. Sources seem to agree she was b. 1762, but source 2 also gives marriage of daughter Jane to John HODGE, which another source says occured in 1763, when Isabel should have been only 1. See notes under Jane.)

Marriage to Andrew Hamilton: (3a) Called "Aunt Hamilton" in 1847. (3,5a,4) (3a) 1764, 14 Apr: Eleanor Kinkead, when she was captured by the Indians in Augusta Co., VA, had a daughter, seven years old, the second a son four years old, the youngest, "your Aunt Hamilton," two years old... The mother had to carry the child two years old. After traveling several days, she fell and was not able to get up. They took the child from her, set her on a log, and sat one each side of it, and appeared to be holding council, whether to kill it or not. After talking together some time, they asked if the child would have black eyes. She told them it would. One of them remarked her hair was very black. They immediately decided. One of them that had the saddle fixed it on "your grandmother's" back, so that it gave her the use of her arms, which was a great relief to her. He set the child on top of his pack, which she said was a heavy one, and carried it to the towns. In two days they got home. He gave the child to one of his sisters who had lost a little one, and she saw it no more until it was given up about six months after. When it was taken from her it spoke English remarkably well for one of its years, and when she next saw it, it could not speak a word of English, but spoke Indian well.

(3a) 1764, fall: The fall after her 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.

(4) 1794: Moved from VA to Woodford Co., KY.
