There are a lot of Sinclairs of African origin. Mike Sinclair of the Seattle
Seahawks is a pretty famous example. Oddly enough I have only ever met two
other Sinclairs that am not related to, one was Scottish and other African
English (rant - I have this African American/English/French trend it's like
referring to someone as European American - end rant). Presumably she had
emigrated from Jamaica to England. Presumably the Sinclair seed was also
sown in the west Indies.
