Hello Gang,
I have recently found a little more info and added an another grandparents to
my line. Their names is Lauchlan and Sally (Sarah McIntyre) Sinclair. I
have found a book at a Genealogy Library in Ft. Wayne, IN called "The
Heritage of Lobo" 1820-1990 published by Lobo Township Heritage Group...
Printed in Canada.
They came from Carriebuie (Coirebuide?), Argyleshire, Scotland on the western
shore of Loch Awe. They have 4 boys: Lachlan, a shepherd, who died in
Scotland, John, Peter, and Duncan, and four girls: Mary, Nancy, Sara, and
Catherine all of whom emigrated to Canada. In the year 1819, John
Sinclair (b. 1791 d. 1826) (my 4th g grandfather) and his sister, Sara came
to Canada. Sara remained at Ancaster and John located on his homestead, Lot
6 Con. 6 Lobo, Ontario, Canada and the next year the whole family came ....
thus therefore the settlement of the family landing in Canada in the year
1820.
I have an old invitation (80 yrs old) that has been passed down to us...
it said:
1820-1920

Now....... is there any descendants of Morrison Sinclair (b. 1896 and he
married Fern Branton in 1933) in this list?? He organized the reunion in
1920 and I'm interested to find if there are any descendants of any of the
children above. I see in my papers that he has two children, Helen married
Micheal Ruggeri and lived in Rhode Island, and Lorna married Bruce Bycraft of
Lobo.
My cousin, Vance Kennedy (from Michigan) had told us that he used to go to
Canada to visit the family every year for the reunion until for some reason
it stopped. I'm interested in finding more ancestors further than Lauchlan
and Sally (Sarah McIntyre) Sinclair. Does anyone have any information on
this particular family line?? I really appreciated this. Thanks.
