Your post caught my attention because Hammond is a rare name about Londonderry and Strabane. My interest is because a Hammon might be in my direct line.
John Kinkead married Anne Hammond on 30 September 1762 by Rev. Richard Waddy, rector of Cumber parish, County Londonderry. He was quite likely the John Kinkaid of Ballycallaghan, Cumber Parish who was recorded in the 1774 Freeholders Register. As I said, Hammond is a rare surname is the western part of county Londonderry: William Hamon of Londonderry, Templemore parish & Alexander Hamond of Waterside, Clondermot parish are all that appears in the 1740 Protestant Householders lists; Richard Hammond of Mullaboy townland, Cumber Parish had his Will registered 18 March 1796. Kincaids were not native to Cumber Parish. They almost certainly migrated over the county line from Donagheady parish, County Tyrone and are connected to Leckpatrick parish via family connections over the years. They were once in Stoneypath where your Carnwaths/Carnwaiths seem to have been. One Alexander Hammond came to Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada at the same time as my Kincaids (1820) and settled on a nearby farm. I came across a family history of this family and they appeared to be from Inishowen, County Donegal. However, the Carys/Careys of Donagheady parish had a branch in the Carndonagh area in Tristram Cary. His predecessor, Tristram Cary, was once seneschal of Donagheady parish. Rev. John Pitt Kennedy of Carndonagh married Mary Cary, only daughter of Major Thomas Carey of Loughash, Donagheady Parish, County Tyrone and they had William Pitt Kennedy who became of Loughash and married Mary, daughter of John Chambers, in 1823. I can't find my Chamber references at the moment, but I think he was of the Chambers who had a part of Collermoney - next to Stoneypath. Finally, the Cunninghams are also connected to the Kincaids and also came over with my Kincaids and settled on adjacent farms. The St. Columb’s Church of Ireland Cathedral Registers, Templemore Parish, Londonderry records the marriage of Mary Kinkade and John Cunningham on 16 September 1810. So this is nothing conclusive, but we have a series of coincidences here. Perhaps you should look more at the Inishowen Hammonds and keep in mind the above interconnections. I will try to find notes on the family here. Best wishes!
