To All Sinclair Descendants;
Are you a descendant of William Sinclair (1766 - 1818) from Harray, Orkney,
an employee of the Hudson's Bay Co and his wife Margaret Nahoway? We are
trying to find as many of William Sinclair's living descendants as possible.
We have formed an informal association and, among other things, we are
planning a family gathering to be held in the year 2000 in Winnipeg,
Manitoba. So far we have connected to descendants of eight of his eleven
children who live all over North America. Those eleven chidren are;
William (Junior)(1794-1868) and Mary Wadden-MacKay
Phoebe (c.1792-1848) and Thomas Bunn
Betsy (c.1796-c.1850) and Robert Miles
Catherine (c.1798-1881) and Joseph Cook
Jane (c.1800-1861) and James Kirkness
Anne (c.1802-1866) and John Spencer
James (c.1804-1856) and Eliz. Bird, then Mary Campbell
John (c.1806-18??) (wife unknown)
Thomas (c.1808-1870) and Hannah Cummings, then Caroline Pruden
Mary (c.1810-18??) and John Inkster
Colin (c.1812-1901) and an unknown wife in England
If you believe you may be a descendant of any of these people, please
contact us. We'd love to hear from you.
Neil Ray (a descendant by way of Anne and John Spencer)
