Len Swindley, would you be so kind as to check the same graveyard sources you cite for Kincaids (Kincade, Kinkaid, Kinkead)? There was a family of Kincaids I am sure is connected to mine in lands about Woodend (Ballee, Holyhill, Keenaghan/Silverhill & Tullyard). John & Sarah Kincaid were of Ballee. James and Thomas Kincaid were of Holyhill. James may have started in Ballee - the latter married Margaret Caton and later Susan (Black) Nixon. Thomas' daughter Lucinda married John Stevenson. William Kincaid married Nancy McFarlane, apparently a daughter of Daniel McFarlane of Holyhill. John Dickson of Keenaghan was married to Mary Kincaid. John Kincaid was married to Elizabeth Lindsay, daughter of John Lindsay of Tullyard. Looks like they attended the Presbyterian church at Artigarvan. I have yet to find any burial information on any of these Kincaids so anything you have will greatly help piecing this family together.
