Geo. Sinclair and Henderson

["Spirit One Email" <laurel@spiritone.com>]

Cousins,
    Would I be leading Margaret off the trail to point out that Henderson is
a Gunn Clan name?  Do you think that the Gunn clan would have some
information to shed on this marriage?

>>Dear Margaret,
>>                      Your list shows the same siblings for Andrew and
>>Charlotte as I do.
>>I know nothing about any 'out of wedlock' births, but obviously your
>>supposition could be fact.  My interest in this whole geneology thing is
>>rather limited.  The research necessary is not my long suite, and I have
just
>>kept most things received from various sources in a file.  Most I have
>>received from my sister Gloria in Salt Lake City, who, being a good Mormon
is
>>interested in saving all non-Mormon souls from purgatory.  The records
that I
>>have are probably the same ones you have. The heading on Page 1, is
'Sinclair
>>Family of the Lappan, Dunbeath, Caithness, Scotland
>>by The Scottish Research Society, 10 York Place, Edinburgh. Next line
begins
>>with George Sinclair underlined, and says he married Christina McKay in
1790.
>>Next line shows, son George Sinclair born Halkirk 1793 etc, etc, married
>>Barbara Gunn 15/12/1818.  Next comes a listing of their five children.
Your
>>G. Grandfather Andrew was one of  those five.  Next comes 10 vertical
columns
>>with all ten children of Andrew Sinclair and Charlotte Calder, and these
are
>>the ten that you named.
>>
>>On page 2, comes the details of your family showing all of Andrew's
brothers
>>and sisters, all six of them.  Details of each family are shown.
>>
>>If this can be of any assistance to you, I shall photocopy it and put it
in
>>the mail. You could then ask me specific questions and if I can I'll give
you
>>the answers.
>>
>>That's all I have time for this Sunday evening.  Take care of yourself,
give
>>your folks our love.   All the best, Donald.
