Hi Bill, My name is Jeff Inkster and I've just recently started getting into the Geneology of own family. If memory serves me correct, I'm both a decent of the John Inkster and William Sinclair that are on this list. I believe there was a John Inkster that married one of William's daughters but I'm not entirely sure if it's this John or not. I don't know exactly how far down the tree I am from John and William but I do know some people who verified the fact that indeed I am a relation. As you can see from the Cc I made to Neil Ray & Joanne Gilmore, they've helped me answer quite a few questions maybe they can help you out too. Hope to here from you soon, "Cousin"?
