The St Clairs of the Isles gives some information about the Sinclairs of 
Virginia
(which I will gladly copy and send to you if you will let me have your 
snail mail
address) but there is a very active Sinclair Association in Virginia which can
muster up to 600 people at its gatherings (or could when the late Dr 
Caroline Sinclair
was running it).  They even have their own newsletter.

I'm sure one of them will pick up your request.  If not, try:

                         Jean Sinclair,
                         610 Bridlespur Lane,
                         Hickory Ridge,
                         Earlyville
                         Virginia 22936

                         or

                         Ward L Ginn, Jn
                         17147 Holly Knoll Circle,
                         Great Falls
                         Virginia 22066

Good luck,
