Notes

BIOGRAPHY: Capt. Andrew KINCANNON was born on 27 Oct 1744 in York County, Pennsylvania. (He may have been born in Ireland.) He was in York County as early in 1757. He died on 20 Nov 1829 in Tom's Creek, Surry County, North Carolina.
-----------------------------------------------
Andrew Kincannon, a native of the Valley of Virginia, was born October twenty-seventh, 1744. He early settled in the Holston country. He was a blacksmith and gunsmith by trade, and claimed to have made the first horse-shoe in Kentucky, probably in 1775. In February, 1777, he was acting as armorer to the troops stationed at Long Island of Holston; and that year he was appointed an Ensign, and then a Lieutenant in Washington County, and stationed at the Stone Mill on Deer Creek. At King's Mountain, he succeeded to the command of his company, when Captain Dysart was wounded, and was chosen Captain in 1782. A few years after the war, he settled on Tom's Creek, in Surry County, North Carolina, where he had a fine farm and iron works. He married Catherine Mc Donald; they raised nine children, and left many descendants. He was tall and muscular, of great integrity, and high character. He died in November, 1829, at the age of eighty-five years.
