James D. Kincaid was born in Greenbrier County, Va. (now West Virginia),
June 5, 1819, a son of John D. and Mary P. (Hyde) Kincaid, natives of the
same State, and of Scotch and English origin respectively.  John D. was a
farmer, and was a soldier in the war of 1812.  James D. was reared on the
farm, but received a good academical education, acquiring some knowledge of
Latin and Greek.  At the age of twenty-one, in 1840, he began the study of
medicine in his native county, subsequently attended lectures at the
University of Pennsylvania, began practice in 1843, and in November, 1847,
removed to Catlettsburg, Ky., where he has now a most extensive practice.
He is Surgeon of the Twenty-second Kentucky enrolled Militia, and had
previously filled the office of Examining Surgeon of the Fourteenth Kentucky
Volunteer Infantry.  He has been president of the board of education at
Catlettsburg, president of the Boyd County Medical Society, vice-president
of the Ohio Valley Medical Society, and is now president of the board of
examining surgeons and Boyd County board of health.  He is a Freemason and
Odd Fellow, and in politics was a Whig before the civil war, but is now a
Democrat.  In November, 1846, he married Miss Lenora F. Chapman, a native of
Guyandotte, Cabell County, W. Va., and to this union have been born three
children, viz: Mrs. David D. Eastham, of Catlettsburg, Ky., James W. and Eva J.
