His son, my ggg grandfather Kincaid, fought for the South in the civil war, but later relocated briefly to Indiana before moving to Kansas; ggg grandpa Kincaid spent a few years in Texas, and died near Independence, MO, but most of the last 45 years of his life were spent in NW Kansas in Brown County. ggg grandpa's brother was a CSA captain (his own captain, in fact) in the Civil War.
I have trouble with my one Campbell, because there is no record of who her parents were. I know which family she came out of, but not who her parents were, though there is one couple in Sangamon County, IL, where she grew up mostly. Her name was Margarite Campbell. Several of her kids have names that match Campbell names there in Sangamon County. Since she married Samuel Sackett before the 1850 census, and without other records of who her parents were, exactly where her family first settled in America is elusive. She reported in the 1880 census being born in Ohio, with parents born in Ohio. Other Sacketts from Samuel's family married other Campbells from Margarite's likely family. No evidence of Southern roots from her though.
