Notes:

From Revolutionary War Soldiers of Western North Carolina, Burke County, Vol 1, by Emmett R. White, pages 148-149:
"John Kincaid, Sr. was born in Northern Ireland on Jan 10, 1710.

He came to America ca 1745, settling in Lancaster Co, PA.

He then migrated southwardly into [Lunenburg] County, VA, and stayed there several years.

From [Lunenburg] County, he then came into the area of the Catawba Valley, settling in Lincoln County (then Tryon County).

John Kincaid was too old to serve in any organized military unit during the Revolutionary War; however, he was a strong patriot and had several encounters with local Tories. It should also be mentioned that four of his sons (James, John, William and Robert) fought in the Revolutionary War.

At one time the Tories came to the home of John Kincaid, Sr. and demanded his money. He refused to tell them where it was and the Tories proceeded to hang him by the neck to the rafters. They left him hanging and hurried away to escape some Whigs who were close on their heels. John's wife, Nancy, and his two daughters cut him down and revived him. Upon hearing that the old man was still alive, the Tories returned and hanged him once again by the neck to the rafters because he refused to tell them where his money was. Again the Whigs surprised the Tories and they got away as fast as they could. John was cut down a second time and revived; however, the terrible trauma to his neck caused it to be crooked for the rest of his life. Because of this, he was called "Crooked Neck John" Kincaid.

John Kincaid, Sr. married Julia Avery prior to emigrating to America. They had nine children. William, Thomas and John Kincaid were from this union. One of the daughters married a General Armstrong, an American officer.

Following the death of his first wife, John remarried. His second wife was Nancy Nixon. By this union, there were nine children, including the following:

1. James, b 1754, married Jane Reed
2. Archibald married (1) __ Vaughn, (2) Jane Fleming 3. David married (1) Nancy Vaughn, (2) Gladys Tryon 4. Andrew 5. Robert, b Feb 17674, married (1) Margaret Dunn, (2) Elizabeth Guthrie 6. Isabella married John Hood 7. Katy Nixon Kincaid never married.

All of these children, except for David, were buried in the old Bristol-Kincaid Cemetery in Burke County. In 1792, John Kincaid, Sr. purchased 1400 acres of land in Burke County on White's Mill Creek. Following his removal from Lincoln County to Burke County, some of his children stayed in Lincoln, others moved with him to Burke. Apparently he ran a grain mill on his property. He built a large house on the side of a hill from which Table Rock could be clearly seen.

"Crooked Neck John" Kincaid died in 1811 at the age of 101 years. His wife Nancy died at age 95. Both are buried in the old Bristol-Kincaid Cemetery that he had bequeathed to his family."

Sailed to America in 1745 landing in Philadelphia.

John married Nancy Nixon in 1752 in Carlisle, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Nancy was born in 1720 in (Pennsylvania); died in 1815 in (Burke County, North Carolina); was buried in Kincaid - Bristol Family Cemetery, Burke County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
