Kincaid/Wimer/Bell/DeWeese/Bell/Ball
Looking for family info and I really have very few clues.
My great-grandparents Mary Aves Kincaid (Kincade)b. Dec. 5, 1851 and her husband Jacob S. Wimer(Wimmer,Wymer)b. Aug. 30, 1851, both listed their place of birth as OH.They married in 1879 possibly in IN and lived in DeKalb Co,MO in 1880 when my grandmother was born.They later moved to Lincoln Co.,OK where they died.
There is a letter in our family from Grant to Mary dated abt 1888-1889 from Dunlap,MO.It mentions another brother Alfred.The occassion of the letter is the death of their father.
The parents' names are not mentioned.But from Grant's letter it appears the father and another relative(perhaps brother of Grant and Mary)were visiting Aunt Meg or Mag Bell or Ball(as nearly as we can make it out) in Morgan Co.,OH when the father became ill.Grant dismissed his school to accompany the mother to OH(perhaps with yet another brother).When the father died they took him back to MO and he was buried in Trenton, MO.
I am not sure of a connection to DeWeese family although I had heard years ago that they were some connection to my grandmother's family somehow(don't know if that meant relatives, or just from same neck of the woods).
Would appreciate any info/clues.Thanks!!
