Myles,
My immediate family was from Detroit. My grandparents, Robert Kincaid and Margaret Muir Clark were from Scotland and emigrated from there to Detroit and I am told lived many years. My Dad, Robert Douglas Haig Kincaid and his sister Margaret Ann Kincaid were both born in Detroit. I lived there briefly as a toddler.

I, too, am looking for more information about the Kincaid Clan.

Dear relatives from a long forgotten time. This swedish girl (57) have the last years found out my heritage from Scotland and the Moffat family. Just read this: Whilst serving the crown of Sweden in a military capacity over the course of many years, Robert Moffat became personally known to the king, Charles X, who helped arrange a marriage for Robert with Elisabeth Rutenskjöld, the daughter of Sten Rutenskjöld, another successful and recently ennobled military officer. It would also seem that Hedvig Eleonora, wife of Charles X, was acquainted with Karin Wagner, wife of Sten Rutenskjöld, and had a hand in the marriage arrangement. Robert and Elizabeth had a family of many children. However, while on duty at the garrison town of Varberg, Robert fell into an adulterous affair with another officer’s wife. He was sentenced to execution. His wife not only forgave him, but exerted her utmost influence to have him pardoned. Elizabeth’s letter to Hedvig Eleonora, the dowager Queen of Sweden, is still extant, and is translated here.

Be back and for sure – a visit.

Beautiful picture of Anabella Kincaide. Did not know Scots held
the hawk feathers in regard. Much like my native american
Cherokee people. Believe I descend from MacKinnon.
