Hi Kozy
>From many sources, I collect any Ontario Sinclair information I can get my hands on,
then file them by the counties in which they settled. This is what I have in my Middlesex County file for your Sinclair/Johnson enquiry(source-Wanda S.)
John SINCLAIR, married Effie (nickname for Euphemia) JOHNSON. She was the daughter of Archie J. and Margaret McMurphy. Effie died 1893. They had 3 children:
Archibald, Lachlan and Sarah.
Notes for John S. Immigration: 1820 from Coire Buide, ARGYLL, Sct.
Sarah married Peter McVICAR. 2 Feb 1841 in London District, Upper Canada. She
died 1901.
Reference: "Some Sketches of the Early Highland Pioneers of the County of Middlesex, page 37-38.
I'm not sure if this is John Sinclairs son, Archibald or not:
Archibald Sinclair, died 19 Jan 1851. He married ? in 1829. They had 1 child: Alexander Sinclair, residence - Mosa Township.
Note for Archibald: Reference: Heir and Devisee (under Jobert Johnston) 40-3551, MS657, Reel 66.
WAKE UP ARGYLL SINCLAIRS!!! Can anyone get farther back for John Sinclair?
Does anyone know where Coire Buide, is? Rick Sinclair (CndHound) - do you have
anymore information for Kozy in your Middlesex research? Did you ever find a copy of "Some Sketches..."?
I hope this helps you, Kozy.

I have a copy of inside of the old bible that my cousin(from California) sent me (his mother wrote all her grandparents and great grandparent's name down). I have this Sarah listed as "Johnson". I just recently found more information regarding the McVicars-Sinclair. A lady gave me information that Sarah Sinclair (b. abt. 1822 in Canada) married to Peter McVicar (b. 8-9-1818 in Scotland). I have the 1851 and 1861 w. Canada - Ontario Census. They are listed along with their children all of them born in Canada. Their children are: Euphemia 18, Peter 13, John 11, Isabella 9, Margaret 7, Sarah 5. I also see a Euphemia Sinclair under them and she was 68 (1861 census)and born in Scotland. They lived in Lobo Township, Middlesex Co.(outside of w. London) Ontario, Canada at that time. I do believe that Euphemia Sinclair was a mother to Sarah. I'm wondering if she had a middle name as "!
> Johnson" named after the mother's maiden name or something. Does anyone know any Johnson connection with the McVicar-Sinclair clan?? I would appreciate the help. Thanks.
