Toni,
   Thank you for your information. I have since found that I am not actually
from that line. The dates didn't match up. I did more research on the
internet and found my grandfather was from Wayne county in Tenn, and his
father was Arthur Franklin Sinclair. He had two sons Thomas Franklin and
Alvin Herman Sinclair.

Well it seems that Thomas Franklin was a bigomist as he was married first to
Sallie Sutton in Georgia, and from that union I am decended. They had 3
children, Beulah, Bertha, and my father Amos Jackson. He disappeared when my
father was 1 year old.

Hopefully someone on this list might have some of these same people in their
line.

Thank you for responding to my other inquiry.
