Forgive me, but I had asked Len twice if he could check the same sources (which I do not have access to) for the Kincaids of Leckpatrick and I am not sure if a problem occurred with a reply. On Feb 27 he asked what period these Kincaids lived and I responded with details of them living in the mid to latter 1800s. I then received a message which was simply a forwarding of his 1st question. Did part of a message/response get lost?
