I was amazed the other day when I did a general entry into the Ancestry.com
civil war data base: 742 hits for SINCLAIR, nearly 500 for STCLAIR. Some
individuals seem to appear more than once, but I was still surprised at the
volume. More specifically on a few, I happened to run across Kevin Frye, a
volunteer who helps with Andersonville Prison research. I shared below the
information he had on SINCLAIR /
