Can anyone please fill me in regarding SINCLAIR of Longformacus? It would
seem that one of my 12 x Gt Grandmothers was Elizabeth, daughter of Robert
SINCLAIR of Longformacus. According to Burke's "Landed Gentry" (1894) she is
described as having married Robert TROTTER of Catchelraw, Berwickshire
(c1524).
I have come across a few references to this branch of SINCLAIR, but have so
far been unable to ascertain how they fit into the main family and how they
came to be in this part of Scotland and when they left. According to the
family website John SINCLAIR of Longformacus was created Baronet of Nova
Scotia in 1636.
Any information would be very much appreciated.
