CIVIL WAR VETERAN
Kinkade family researchers indicated that Thomas was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania; however, his official death certificate showed his birthplace as Westmoreland County. Informant E. J. Kincaid (son Everett) also stated that Thomas's father was Phillip Kincaid; however, Philip was Thomas's first name and James W. Kinkaid was his father. A death certificate draft submitted to the National Archives with corrections show Thomas was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and that his father was James and mother was Margaret (a question mark is by her name). When Tom personally submitted his request for pension,
Thomas Kinkade indicated he was born July 3rd 1841 near Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He appears in the 1850 Westmoreland County census as a child with his parents as Philip T. Kinkead. He was most likely named for his mother's father, Philip Kuhns, Jr.; however, Thomas dropped the name Philip before enlisting in the Union Army. The name Philip does not appear in any other documents found by this researcher.
Thomas served in the Civil War in the same regiment as his brother David (Company B, 78th Illinois Volunteer Infantry). In their later years, David took a train from Ellensburg, Kittitas County, Washington, to visit his brother in Missouri and they had their photographs taken. Marriage and pension documents with Thomas' signature show the surname spelling as Kinkade; however, some census records show Kincaid and his widow's death certificate has her name as Kincaid. Thomas Kinkade's personal description at time of enlistment was 5 feet 10 inches; dark complexion, gray eyes, black hair and that his occupation was farmer. After discharge 7 June 1865, he remained in Illinois until 1869 then moved to Chariton County, Missouri where he resided until he moved in April 1916 to Carrollton, Carroll County, until his death that October. He married Martha Jane Woodruff in Ursa, Illinois and they had five children, Edith, Oral, Otis, James and Everett.
Thomas's obituary appeared in two local papers: "The Republican Record" and the "Carrollton Daily Democrat".
