SCOTT KINKEAD, farmer, P. O. Ripley, youngest child of William and Anna Kinkead, was born in Union Township April 3, 1808. He was reared to manhood on a farm, and received his education in the common schools, which were held in log cabins of the rudest sort. May 5, 1847, he was united in marriage to Miss Eliza L. Fisher. Mrs. Kinkead was a daughter of William and Rachel Fisher, and was born May 1, 1815. Two children were the issue of this marriage — William H., born February 26, 1848, married Luella Patterson, and has two children — Ada S. and Elmer G. John S., the youngest, was born May 13, 1850. His biography is given on another page of this volume. Mrs. K. died on April 9, 1852, and our subject again married, September 2, 1856, to Miss Eliza A. Dickey, daughter of Alexander and Jane (Henry) Dickey. She was born in Ross County, Ohio, December 15, 1817. One child, now deceased, was born to this union. Mr. Kinkead is an agriculturist and stock-raiser by occupation. For the last twenty-five years he has raised fine Short-Horn cattle with good success. Since 1860, he has raised tobacco to a considerable extent. His farm contains 179 acres of excellent land, with good improvements, which is principally the result of Mr. Kinkead’s arduous labors. He is a citizen well esteemed in his community.
