The History Of A Kincaid Family PDF Download

The earliest history of the Kincaid family was in the 1500s, as O Tooles, and through marriage the name was changed to Kincaid. After many events that could have caused families with less courage to give up, the Kincaid family left Fort Fletcher (Hays, Kansas) for a location known only to Floyd Kincaid, the wagon master. They have no way of knowing what hazards, and joys, lie ahead, but are willing to confront the challenges with a courage that continues to grow stronger with each threat they face. About the Author E. Earl Kendrick is a native western Kansan, born and raised on a ranch his maternal grandparents had built in the 1800s. His parents were born in the late 1800s, and his story writing is gleaned much from their experience, as well as his own. Growing up with 7 kids, 150 cows, 30 horses, countless hogs, chickens, goats, cats and dogs is a child s paradise, and a good place to get in trouble. After the onslaught of M.S. in 1998, he has been disabled and has turned to writing to amuse himself and share with others. The paternal side of his family is Scot-Irish, and the maternal side is English. His dad, an old-time cowboy, homesteaded in Logan County, Kansas in 1906. His mother got her teaching certificate in 1918, and taught in several one-roomed school houses, until her marriage in 1927. This is a history in the making.
