-----------------------------------------------
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.
