Gavin Sinclair. The info I have is as follows: Gavin Sinclair, born October 8, 1826, Island of Arran. He attended Irvin Academy and the Campbellton High School. He then taught school for several years and then entered Glasgow University and studied Theology in the Free Church College, Glasgow under Principal Fairburn. He was licensed to preach by the Free Church Presbytery of Kintyre at Campbellton, Scotland in 1864. Gavin emmigrated to Canada in 1873 and was a probationer in the province of Quebec, Canada for two or three years. I have his full family and Church history from this point forward but I am wondering if anyone can confirm where he was born and his education as shown. On his marriage certificate he listed his parents as James Sinclair and Elizabeth Hamilton. All assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
