Re: SINCLAIRs of ABERFOYLE (was Heartstopping news)

Donald and Toni
I am very interested in your message about John SINCLAIR and Catherine
FERGUSON of Aberfoyle.  Have you any more or any earlier information on
them?

I do not see a link right away, but my earliest SINCLAIR is Peter S, born
1785 in Perthshire, married 1805 to Christian BROWN, born 1790 at Aberfoyle.
This couple had  7 children, all born at Aberfoyle except the eldest.  The
children were Duncan  (b 1806 at Clachan of Clampsie),  Andrew (b 1809),
Alexander (b 1812),  Agnes (1814),  Charles (b 1818), Thomas  (b 1822) and
Margaret  (b1827).

There seems to be the faint possibility of a link, so would be glad to hear
more if you have more.  Many thanks indeed.
