[Nicholas County]  [Carlisle City and Precinct]

ROBERT KINCART, jailer, Carlisle, was born in Carlisle, Ky., Jan. 14, 1825,
and at the present time, there is but one person now living in Carlisle
that was born at that place older than himself.  The father of our subject
was born in Washington County, Va., in the year 1782; came to Kentucky in
1807, and at one time owned all the land where Carlisle now stands.  His
father was buried in the now Court House yard.  He was married in 1817, to
Miss Isabella Packston, who was born in Carlisle in 1780, and died in 1869;
and her husband followed her two years later, Jan. 18, 1871.  The result
of their union was nine children, of whom Robert, the subject of this
sketch, was the third.  He never attended school to exceed ten days and
got his education by his own industry and by observation.  He entered upon
his career in life as a farmer and machinist.  He has always been a
prominent Democrat, and in 1874, the Democratic party substantiated their
appreciation of him by electing him Jailer, which position he still
retains.  During the rebellion he held the position of 2nd Lieutenant in
Co. B., of the 5th Kentucky Mounted Riflemen with Capt. John Holliday.  He
remained in the service four years.  He was married in Nicholas County,
Oct. 7, 1847 to Miss Elizabeth Ishmael, who was born in Nicholas County,
Jan. 24, 1823.  They have four children, viz: Nancy, George, Maria and
Harrison.  Mr. Kincart is a very energetic and enterprising man; owns a
farm of 156 acres and devotes his time to its cultivation in connection
with his duties as jailer.  In connection with his wife, he is a member
of the Christian Church at Carlisle.  He has also been a prominent member
of the Masonic Order, at the same place, since the year 1863.
