KINCAID, KINKEAD, OR KINKHEAD, FAMILY.
The name is of Gaëlic origin, and in Scotland is Kincade. "The name is from Cann, head, and Cath, or Cad, battle, -the head or front of the battle."
1. Rev. John Kinkead was b. in Ireland, and was of Scotch descent. In May, 1752, he is mentioned as a licentiate on the records of the Philadelphia Synod, and was at that time sent to the valley of Virginia to supply from the middle of November to the succeeding March. In 1754 he spent some months in Virginia, was dismissed from his charge, and in 1757 was publicly disowned by the Presbytery. "Immediately on the union, May 31, 1758, the Philadelphia Presbytery directed Gil- bert Tennant to write to him and inform him that he must desist from preaching at Middletown, now in Deleware Co., Penn., as it was offensive to the congregation and to the Presbytery." In 1759 efforts were made to reconcile differences between him and the Presbytery, which were ineffectual. July 9, 1760, Windham voted him a call, with a yearly salary of £1,300 Old Tenor, "at £6 Old Tenor a dollar, that being the present value of our Old Tenor currency." Voted to give £700 Old Tenor to transport Rev. Mr. Kinkead's family from Pennsylvania. He lived on the Senter farm in the Range. His life was not exemplary, and he forfeited the respect and confidence of the people. April 12, 1765, he resigned his charge and left town.
In 1769 it was particularly represented to the Synod " that he is by licenses given out to be a Presbyterian minister." The complaint amounted to nothing, as he had not been a member of any "of their presbyteries since the union."* In the possession of the writer is a paper written in the elegant hand of Rev. Simon
* Webster's History of the Presbyterian Church in America.

Williams, and at the bottom, in the hand of Rev. John Kinkead, these words : -
"A true copy of ye paper yt ye elders give me before ye Reyd Mr. Williams. JON KINKEAD.""
The substance of the paper, given in 1774, was that the session had "brought no charge against him, at the time for giving us up," etc., " nor now do we lay any against him." He wrote a letter to Lient. Samuel Morison, dated Boston, July 18, 1774, which I give entire : -
"To LIEUTANT MORISON. - Sir, -This Comes with my best Compliments to ye Rovd Pastor his Spouse yr self and family and all my sincere Friends tho' too Long to be Nominated here; with a thousand of good wishes and unfeigned thanks for ye Civilties and Kindness you display'd for yr old but unworthy Guide.

patient research has failed to reveal any trace of his subsequent history.
2. Dea. Samuel Kinkead' was probably in town as early as 1745, as it is thought that he was made an elder of the church during the ministry of Rev. William Johnston. The connection between him and Rev. John Kinkead is not known. When the town had given a call to the latter, it voted £270 old tenor to Dea. Samuel Kinkead to go to Philadelphia in order to be " helpful" to Rev. John in the transportation of his goods and family. This was Dee. 24, 1760. He lived upon the farm now owned by Isaiah-W. Haseltine, in the Range. He m. Mary -. Nothing is known of him or any member of his family after the date of the battle of Bennington, where his son was killed.
