Chris, I am from Muscatine, Iowa and do research for my families. I have
done some research on the J.B. St. Clair family. They were a well known
family in town that had a bottling works. I have easy access to court
house and cemetery records if you have any particular requests. I know
there were some Sinclairs in the area at one time. Some are buried in the
city cemetery. There are no people with the Sinclair surname here
presently. Paul Temple
