Re: KINCAID, KINKEAD, CARR, KERR
Surnames: CARR, KERR, KINCAID, KINKEAD					#00135
Marcella Kincaid Campbell <[email protected]>			Thu, 1 Jan 1998
I am seeking info about parents of my grgrandparents, Thomas McDowell KINCAID b. b. 1811 in KY and Martha Ann MC NABB b. 1816. Have no idea where in KY they were born or married. Came to Clay Co., IN between 1830 and 1840. Oldest child was born in IN in 1837. My grandfather was James Edgar KINCAID, not the James yourefer to, but could possibly be from the same family. My Thomas had a maiden sister, Nancy, who came to Clay Co., IN also. Do you see any possible connection? Will gladly exchange info if there might be. Thanks.

I am searching for the James McKinney who was born @1773-1774. I found a "Deed of Separation" between James and Ede McKinney dated 1809 in Cumberland Co., KY where they agreed to live separately. Since women were not permitted to own property at that time, her property was held by John Jackson (possibly a brother or brother-in-law) John's wife was Mary Black so Ede's maiden name could possibly have been Jackson or Black. In 1831, James married Mary Nichols in Russell County, KY. They are on the Russell Co. census of 1840 and moved to Cumberland Co., KY by 1850 census. I would like to compare notes with you on this line. Thanks, Carolyn On that census it had James age 76 m, farmer Mary age 42 f, children Tiff age 17, m, Samuel D age 14, m, Ellenor age 12, f, M.A. age 11, f J.B. age 7, m, Elizabeth age 4, f,

Aaron Crane, brother of John is my 4ggf. I was born and grew up in Perryville, Ky. Am very familiar with the area where the Cranes, Revolutionary war veterans, settled. Have records indicating Nathaniel, son of John, married first Sally Lynch. 2nd married Mrs C.A. Sharpenstein. Suspect she was Cynthia Keller first married to a Sharpenstein because 1.the initial C would be Cynthia and 2. one of children listed with her and Nathaniel is named John Keller Crane. There were a total of 17 children of about which 5 are unnamed. Nathaniel died at the age of 95 in the "barrens" of western, Ky.

>These families were part of the Conewago, PA/Berkeley Co., VA/Kentucky >migration of the Low Dutch. Hello! I'm sorry that this isn't an answer to your query, but rather a comment for YOU .... I'm very interested in the migration path you mentioned. I have a Huff ancestor (William Huff, b. 1740ish [where??], m. in Va and came to Mercer Co. ca 1790-1794). He came from Virginia, but I know that his ancestors were part of the Low Dutch community .... had to be. Problem is ..... I don't know who his parents were, or *where* they were. There are other Huffs in Mercer Co who came from the colony in Hunterdon Co., NJ, but I can't place my William there. I considered looking in Conewago, but never did. Now that I know that some of them made the trek down into Virginia, and know which county they came through, I'll be sure to check it out. I just want to thank you for posting this. Without knowing it, you've given me a great lead! TYSM!!!

Vincent Akers wrote a great series of articles for The Holland Society's magazine of history, de Halve Maen, entitled The Low Dutch Company: A History of the Holland Dutch Settlements of the Kentucky Frontier. They have been reprinted in booklet form. I know that at least one copy of this booklet exists at the Kentucky Historical Society. It was a footnote in these articles that led me to discover that Daniel HARRIS was the father of SAMUEL. The articles also briefly touch on the Conewago and Berkeley Settlements. Hope this helps anyone searching for Low Dutch ancestors. Also, there is a super mailing list on rootsweb, Dutch-Colonies. Many of the contributors to this list have ancestors that followed the migration of the Low Dutch and enjoy sharing information.

Noticed your posting. As I have found Vandever, Vandiver and Vandivier as well as other spellings all leading to the same families (not mine, unfortunately), I thought I would respond to your query. I have an Eli Vandever b. 1820 who married Aley England. His son was named James Solomon (b.1870) do these names coincide with any of your lineage? Thanks. Irene

I am researching my Claunch family background in Mercer Co, KY. The information I have thus far (From the RLDS Family History Center here in MO) is that Jacob Claunch m. Polly (Mary) Gray and they had at least three sons (I saw an earlier post which listed 8 Claunch children listed in a will for John Gray, was he Polly's father?) One of these children should be a Thomas Claunch who moved to Johnson Co., MO and is my GGgrandfather. Also, I am interested in information on a William Claunch m. Rebecca Bolton in 1798 and had a daughter Lucinda Claunch (who married the above Thomas Claunch in KY before moving to MO). Rebecca Bolton's parents were Peter Bolton (1748-1787) of Mercer KY and Rebecca Cobb (b. abt. 1748) of Mercer KY. Peter Bolton's parents were William Bolton (b. abt. 1722) and Rachel Haskell (b abt. 1726). Any information which can confirm or futher enlighten that which I already have would be highly appreciated. Thanks, Kim.

Actually I just started working on the connection to my League line. I am sure you know how, when you run into a brick wall you turn and go in another direction. I found the family listed on the 1850 census for Mercer County and thought I would try to find info on the family. I was in Bethel Cemetery about three years ago and found the gravestone for Abel and Elizabeth Lyons. My father John League was with me. He ask who these people were and I told him they would be his great great grandparents. He didn't know that so I was pleased that we had found the connection together for another generation. I started doing family research about 10 years ago and I called my Dad and ask him if he would like to go traipsing through old cemeteries with me. So we spend a little of my annual vacation going to cemeteries in the Boyle, Mercer, Lincoln and Laurel Co. areas. Good bonding time for the two of us and sometimes a family member will go along for the ride. Thanks.
