Amon,
I am very interested in your group of Kincaids. My Pattersons travelled very closely with the Kincaids for decades. They left northwestern SC in the 1790s and moved to western NC. Then, in the 1820s, they moved down into north GA.
My John Patterson was born in 1766. James Kincaid was born in 1762. They married sisters in SC, Margaret and Susannah Black, respectively. By the 1840 Union Co., GA census, John and Marg. Patterson were still in GA (they both died there), but I don't see James and Susannah Kincaid in Union Co., GA anymore. Their oldest son William Kincaid was still there, though.
Some of the Pattersons moved out of GA into Jackson county, AL starting in the 1850s and 60s. However, some of the Pattersons moved out before then, in the 1840s, and I don't know where they went. They would be Amos and Robert Patterson (brothers, born 1801 & 1805). Also, James and Silas Kimsey Patterson (born 1829 and 1831) were nephews of Amos and Robert Patterson. They all left Union Co., GA in the 1840s.
Others of these same Pattersons of north GA left in the late 1860s or early 1870s and went to Arkansas! Some of them actually went on to Montana and Canada by 1901.
Many of my Patterson descendants of John and Margaret Black Patterson went into about every western state there is, especially Texas and Alabama.
Please contact me at [email protected]. My website is http://wespatterson.comhttp://wespatterson.com. I think we have too many things in common to pass up here.
I am actually working a very concrete theory that my PATTERSONs and these KINCAIDs actually came from N. Ireland together in the mid 1700s. I believe they came into PA, and then down through VA, NC into SC. I also believe they were travelling with other families such as CARSON, BYERS, and maybe even the DENTONS.
Thanks,
Wes
