Dear Laurel,

I have looked through the Sinclairs of Maine in the "St Clairs of the Isles"
and although I can find a John Sinclair marrying a Mary Hyde with his
brother, Thomas, marrying an Abigail Hyde I cannot find a George Sinclair
marrying an Abigail Shaw.

As this Thomas was born in 1772, he cannot be the Thomas Shaw Sinclair
your correspondent refers to who wasn't born until 1818.

The Sinclairs of Maine in the "St Clairs of the Isles" were centred around
Lisbon and had odd names like:

                                 Adoniram
                                 Silas Trufant
                                 Solon
                                 Eneas
                                 Cyrus Bourke
                                 Everett
                                 Ebenezer
                                 Moses
                                 Mehitabel (girl)
