Sinclair-St Louis, 1889-1890

[CMelahn@aol.com]

Did the Sinclair Paint Company originate in St Louis?

I happened to be using the new databases section of Ancestry.com and ran 
across one for the St Louis, Missouri City Directory for 1889-1890.  I 
extracted the following SINCLAIR data in case it is of interest to anyone.  I 
couldn't help but notice the apparent connection of the St Louis Sinclairs 
with the painting industry. Never having researched the Sinclair Paint 
Company--and not recalling discussion on the list regarding it--thought I 
would inquire:  do the folks listed below connect to the Sinclair Paint 
Company?
