History
The Kincaid family originated in Bannockburn, where they were manufacturers of tartan plaid, but moved to London following the prohibition of the wearing of tartan after the rebellion of 1745. The papers feature John Kincaid and Cecilia Kincaid [possibly siblings] and their descendants. John Kincaid married Isabella Branston in 1792 and had several children including Ann, Isabella and John David. Cecilia Kincaid married John Lonsdale in 1795 and had four sons, Samuel, William, John and David. She was widowed in 1803 and later remarried, becoming Cecilia Ager. The families lived in various locations including Shoreditch, Spitalfields, Tower Hamlets, Paddington and Kennington.
