Re: St. Clair in IOWA--1900 Census, Franklin County, Reeve

["paul and k" <pmtemple@muscanet.com>]

Chris,  I am from Muscatine, Iowa and do research for my families. I  have
done some research on the J.B.  St. Clair family.  They were a well known
family in town that had a  bottling works.  I have easy access to court
house and cemetery records if you have any particular requests.   I know
there were some Sinclairs in the area at one time.  Some are buried in the
city cemetery. There are no people with the Sinclair surname  here
presently.  Paul Temple
