Re: Geo. Sinclair and Henderson

[milamba <milamba@milamba.com>]

Hello Laurel,

No,  you wouldn't be leading me off the trail! :)  I just discovered that 
information last night! And there's already a Gunn marriage in the 
family... the next generation down George Sinclair married a Barbara 
Gunn.   As well, I'm fairly certain now this is the right marriage and 
family... Christian Henderson appears to have been born 1760 (right 
time)  and the only relative given for her is an Angus McKay - so I'd say 
McKay was probably her mother's name and somehow it's been dropped by 
someone in recollecting who was married to who!  The rest of the children 
tie in very well too... and it certainly fits very well with the use of 
Henderson as a middle name!

Thank you for the thought! :):)
