EARLY KINCAID HISTORY to the KINCAIDS WHO SETTLED in PENNSYLVENIA by Ronald Lepeska from Microfilm Material Provided to Clan Kincaid by Steve Kincaid, San Diego CA EARLY KINCAID HISTORY TO THE KINCAIDS WHO SETTLED IN PENNSYLVENIA By Ronald Lepeska From microfilm material provided to Clan Kincaid by Steve Kincaid, San Diego CA. 939.273K62KS and Misbit's Heraldry, and Scotland, A Cincise History by Fitzroy MaClean 1995 by Thames and Hudson. Geneology records of Bashie Kincaid (52-12) on microfilm The Kincaids were in possession of Kincaid lands as early as 1280, as provided by charter extant, one of the oldest in Scotland. A Kincaid, Laird of Kincaid of Stirlingshire, was given his charter for his gallant service in rescuing Edinburgh Castle from the English, during the time of Edwin I (1239-1307). The Laird of Kincaid was made Constable of Edinburgh Castle, an honor and office passed on to several of his sons. The first Kincaid (Lord) Robert John Cample was given the Kincaid name and estates, as well as the daughter of the Duke of Montrose for marriage. Robert Kincaid's son was named William Kincaid, valiant, and distinguished in battle. Robert was deseeded of the Earl of Huntington, third son of David, the first King of Scotland, (son of Malcolm III Canmore). He was also first cousin of Robert Bruce and John Baliel (John de Baliol, Lord of Galloway). Baliel was a celebrated first rival of Bruce, 7th Earl of Annandale, for the Scottish throne, as he was the nearest relative. The Bruces were originaly Normans from the Cherbourg peninsula. The father of the Clans founder was Sir Robert de Bruis (or Brus) who came to England with William the Conqueror in 1066 and died in 1094. William's son Robert de Brus (1078-1141) was a close companion of King David I (1124- 53). It was during this King's reign that he recieved the rich lands of the Annandale, and other favors including his Lordship. Baliel sued Bruce over Bruce's claim to the Scottish throne. The English King was chosen as arbatrator, and eventually chose in favor of Baliel, on the condition that he should pay homage to the English King. Baliel's corination took place at Scone in 1292, but soon repudiated the the oath he had taken to the English King. William Kincaid was with the forces of John Baliel when King Edward I was defeated him at at a fierce battle at Tweed in 1296. Edwin took the Stone of Scone, used for the corination of Scottish Kings, along the Scottish King, Baiel, off to England as prisoner. William Kincaid was with William Wallace when Wallace was defeated at Falkirk, and was also with him when he was betrayed in 1303. (Wallace was the man the English invented the traitor's death; by hanging, drawing and quartering, for Page 1 refusing to submit to the English King.) William was with Robert Bruce at his corination ceremonies at Scone in 1306. William marched with King Bruce and his army against England's Edwin I at the great battle of Bannochburn in 1313. This victory allowed Scotland to gain it's independence from the English throne. William Kincaid was knighted there by Robert Bruce, and given the castle as part of the Kincaid heraldry augmentation. The English forces at Bannochburn totaled 60,000 men, and the Scots only 40,000, but the Scots fought from better positions, and kept the English bunched up so they could not use their superior forces. Robert Bruce had murdered HRed Comyn I11 who claimed rightful succession to the Scottish throne, (also William Kinncaid's cousin) When Balliol was king he became furious at the Bruces for paying hommage to the English King. Balliol seized the Bruce estates and gave them to Bruce's own brother-in-law Red John de Comyn. Red Comyn was also Baliol's nephew. Red Comyn was the 2nd Lord of Buthenoch and was in the Kincaid succession line. His daughter married Sir Walter Gailbraith of Buthenock (4th Cheif, and thereby became Kincaid of Clan Kincaid!) In 1329 at age 53 King Bruce died, a national hero. Sir William Kincaid was with the forces under Sir John Douglas, when they set off for a crusade too the Holy Land, with the heart of Robert Bruce in 1329. The expadition only got as far as Spain. William was beside Douglas when he was killed in battle with the Moors in Spain in 1330. Defeated in their first major battle, and with the leader of the crusade now dead, it was decided to return to Scotland with the heart of Robert Bruce. Douglas was given an injunction by Bruce before he died to go to the Holy Land and bury his hart. Sir William Kincaid married Julia McDowell in 1330 and died in 1350. Sir William had three children, James b. 1333, Mary b. 1335, John b. 1337. Below Is a Lineage of Sir William's Children: James Kincaid married Margaret Baliel in 1365 1.

    ********************************************************************************* GENEALOGISTS FOR THE SCOTTISH CLANS by Robert D. McLaren 7810 Kincardine Court Alexandria, VA 22315-4025 (703) 971-6924 [email protected] 8 April 2000 Version 2000-3 © Copyright 2000 Robert D. McLaren The following list is a compilation of Clan Genealogists or Clan points of contact for genealogy (for the Scottish Clans and Family Associations). The amount of information available from these genealogists varies greatly, with some having extensive records. For example, the clan genealogist for Clan Scott maintains a database of all SCOTTs and is a coordinator of the SCOTT One Name Society. He has about 53,000 records on file dealing with more than 2,000 family lines. The clan genealogist/historian for Clan Barclay also is a coordinator for the BARCLAY One Name Society. She has about 19,000 BARCLAY/BARKLEY and collateral names on file dealing with 125 family lines. The Clan Morrison historian has a 6,000-name database of MORRISON families in the U.S. and Canada. Some clans have genealogy committees. When I learn about them I will include committee members in this listing. Some of these members only cover one or a few states. In these cases, I note the states that particular member covers. Also, some clan genealogists specialize in one surname of a clan. Clan MacKay, for example, has many surname genealogists. I am listing these surnames under the parent clan with a note (i.e., See also Mackie). The actual genealogist and his/her address will be listed under the surname (i.e., Mackie). For some clans, more than one society exists.
