Dear Barb I entered your message with the Sinclair Discussion Group and received the following reply. I think we are getting somewhere! Yours aye Iain Date: Fri, 3 Sep 1999 20:18:28 EDT From: DSinc39156@aol.com Subject: Sinclairs & Lairds of Hempriggs House I am the Sinclair with a connection to Hempriggs House. My great great great grandfather was William Sinclair b. 1793 @ Hempriggs House. I visited there in June of this year. It is now a Pensioner's home. While touring the Wick Heritage Centre, in Wick, I met a Mrs. MacDonald, she stated her late husband's name was Sinclair MacDonald. Sinclair MacDonald was the son of a Laird Lady who was also from Hempriggs House. I have since been informed that Hempriggs House was built by the Dunbar family. My William Sinclair married Henrietta Dunbar Sutherland. Donald Sinclair (Indianapolis)
