Rev. William Kincaid

REV. WILLIAM KINCAID.  The grandparents of Rev. William Kincaid were John and Martha (Hill) Kincaid, of Scotch descent, who emigrated from Ireland to this country, and settled near Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, in the last century.  From their first location they emigrated to Washington county, Pennsylvania, and settled near Williamsport.  About the year 1800 they came to Youngstown, and remained until the end of their days.      John Kincaid was the father of three sons and four daughters, all of whom lived to marry and have families.  Robert, the second child, was about twenty-one when the family came to Ohio.  He married Margaret Erwin soon after.  She was a native of Virginia, daughter of Christopher and Mary Erwin. She reared a large family, ten children in all, seven sons and three daughters.  Of this number, four sons and two daughters are still living.  William, the fourth child of Robert and Margaret Kincaid, was born Apr. 15, 1812, and passed his early life in Youngstown, his native place.  He received a common school education; was brought up a farmer,and has made tilling the soil his business.  Mr. Kincaid was married in 1833 to Mary Erwin, daughter of Joseph and Margaret Erwin, of Youngstown.  She was born in 1815; died June 15, 1872.  This union was blessed by nine children, seven of whom survive.  The family record is as follows: Margaret, born Oct. 29, 1834; Sherman, born Sept. 20, 1835; Mary, born June 9, 1837; Robert, born Mar. 4, 1839, died Mar. 10, 1841; Ammiel, born Feb. 27, 1841; Martha J., born Dec. 26, 1843; John W., born Mar. 5, 1845, died Sept. 16, 1864, at Washington, District of Columbia, was in company D, Second Ohio cavalry; Caroline M., born Dec. 27, 1850; William A., Jan. 12, 1855.      The children are all married, and with the exception of Martha, who lives in Ashtabula county, all reside in this county.      In 1831 Mr. Kincaid joined the Methodist Episcopal church, and has since been one of its most devoted adherents.  His wife was also a member; she lived a pure, useful life, characterized by Christian benevolence and good works.      In 1845 Mr. Kincaid was licensed as an exhorter in his church, and labored in that capacity nearly four years, when he was licensed as a local preacher, and continued almost constantly to keep regular appointments up to about four years ago.  On account of poor health he was compelled to relinquish regular preaching, but he still officiates occasionally.  During his work in the ministry he has filled appointments throughout this region—from the Pennsylvania State line westward into Portage and Geauga counties, and north into Ashtabula.  His labors have been blessed by the Master.  Mr. Kincaid can look back over the long period of years in which he has been a preacher with the satisfaction of knowing that he has been the instrument of promoting the cause which he so dearly loves.  He is held in high esteem by a large circle of acquaintances.
