On several trips to the Virginia State Archives in Richmond, VA, my husband and I went through numerous (original) personal property tax books for Franklin Co VA and recorded all Sink listings. There were two books for each tax year - a "Book A" and a "Book B". We checked both books and never found a listing for Sink in the Book A's. A Box which contained books for 1786-1794, yielded the following results. After each name is a series of five numbers, followed by three numbers. They represent: white males 16 & over, blacks over 16, blacks under 16, horses, stud horses (the next three numbers represent the amount of tax paid - pounds, shillings, pence) 1791 - No Sink listing 1792 - May 7, Sink Abraham 1,0,0,1,0 0,0,6 July 19, Sink Peter 1,0,0,1,0 0,0,6 1793 - March 18, Sink, Stephen 1,0,0,1,0 June 25, Sink, Abraham 1,0,0,1,0 1794 - Apr 7, Sink, Stephen 1,0,0,1,0 0,0,4 Apr 12, Sink, Abraham 1,0,0,1,0 0,0,4 A Box which contained books for 1795-1801 1795 - Mrch 24, Sink, Stephen 1,0,0,1 0,0,4 Apr 6, Sink, Abraham 1,0,0,1 0,0,4 1796 - Apr 18, Sink, Stephen 1,0,0,1,0 0,0,4 Apr 30, Sink, Abraham 1,0,0,2,0 0,0,8 1797 - Mrch 17, Sink, Stephen 1,0,0,2 Sink, Abraham 1,0,0,2 1798 - Mrch 10, Sink, Stephen 2,0,0,2 May 19, Sink, Abraham 1,0,0,3 1799 - Mrch 14, Sink Stephen 2,0,0,3 Apr 12, Sink, Abraham 1,0,0,1 1800 - Aprl 7, Sink, Abraham 1,0,0,2 May 5, Sink, Stephen 3,0,0,2 1801 - Apr 6, Sink, Abram 1,0,0,3 July 18, Sink, Paul, 1,0,0,1 Aug 3, Sink, Stephen 3,0,0,2 For the rest of the books, after the name is White Tithes, & Horses 1802 - Sink, Abraham 1, 1 Stephen 3, 3 1804 - Sink Stephen 1, 2 Abraham 1, 1 Henry 1, 2 1805 - Sink, Abraham 1, 3 Henry 1, 2 Stephen 1, 1 1806 - Sink, Stephen 1, 1, Abraham 2, 3 Henry 1, 2 David 1, 1 1807 - Sink, Abraham 2, 2 Stephen 1, 1 Henry 1, 2 David 1, 1 1809 - Sink, David 1, 2 Henry 1, 2 Stephen 2, 2 Abraham 3, 4 1810 - Sink, Stephen 1, 1 David 2, 3 Henry 1, 2 Abraham 3, 4 1811 - Sink, Stephen 1, 1 David 3, 2 Henry 1, 2 Daniel 1, 1 Abraham 3, 4 1812 - Sink, Abraham 1, 3 Henry 1, 1 Abraham J 1, 1 David 3, 2 Daniel 1, 1 Henry 1, 3 Stephen 1, 1 1813 - Sink, David 1, 3 Daniel 1, 2 Abraham 1, 2 Henry 1, 1 Abraham J 1, 1 Henry step-son 1, 1 Stephen 1, 1 Abraham 1, 0 1814 - Sink, Daniel 1, 1 David 1, 3 Stephen 1, 1 Abraham Jr. 1, 3 Henry (stepson) 1, 1 Abraham Sun? 1, 1 Henry 1, 1 1815 - Sink, Stephen 1, 1 David 1, 4 Daniel 1, 3 Abraham S. 1, 2 Henry 1, 2 Abraham J 1, 0 Henry (s son) 1, 2 1816 - Sink, Henry 1, 2 Stephen 1, 1 Abraham 2, 2 Henry 1, 2 Daniel 1, 1 David 2, 2 Abraham 1, Peter 1, 1817 - Sink, Peter 1, David 2, 1 Daniel 1, 2 Stephen 1, 1 Henry (A'son) 1, 1 Abraham 2, 2 Henry (S'son) 1, 1 And that is as far as we got.

Hi Folks, This information came from a cousin and I do believe she got the information from a Sinks Genealogy. I haven't looked at the book as of yet but think it is at the library.

Dear JoAnne, Thanks for the reply. I am a descendent of Peter SINKS who married Susannah BECKNER, Franklin County, Virginia, 1816. I think , but have not proved, that he is the son of Paul-Powell SINK-ZINK of North Carolina and Pittsylvania County. Virginia. I think this is the same Powell SINK who died in Dickson County, Tennessee, 1826. Powell SINKS had a son named Zachariah. Peter also had a son named Zachariah. Peter also had a son named Jesse. Peter SINKS died Oct. 20, Hamilton County, Illinois. His son Zachariah died in Missouri. Peter SINKS daughter, Susan SINKS [My GGGrandmother] was married 3 times. Her first husband was Jesse SINKS [cousin?] He was listed on the 1850 Jefferson Co. Illinois Census as being born in Tennessee. Her 2nd husband was Johnson B. HILLMAN, married April 13, 1854, Hamilton County, Illinois.[This was my GGGrandfather. I would appreciate any records you could send on this family.

SINKS (born 1812 in TN, died 1864 Grand Chain, Pulaski Co, IL). He married on 11 Dec 1838 Nancy Ann LYELL (born 1818 VA, died 1908 Pulaski Co, IL). In a book, Tennesseans in the War of 1812, by Byan Sistler, 1992, I found the following listings: 1. LYLES, James Pvt in Col J. Cocke, Capt J. Price, Inf 2. LYLES (Liles) Daniel Pvt in Col J. Cocke, Capt J. Price, Inf. 3. SINKS, Jesse Pvt in Col John Cocke, Capt Joseph Price, Inf. As I was interested in Lyles and Sinks, this seemed interesting, so I sent for their files from the National Archives. If you have the Bounty Land application by the widow of Jesse Sinks, you probably already know this. His widow was Anna Sinks, maiden name Whittington. In 1852, she was of Montgomery County, TN and aged 54. One of the papers indicates that a Drewery Sinks was present at the marriage of Jesse Sinks and Anna Whittington on July 5, 1820 in Montgomery County, TN. Another tidbit is from: Garrett, Jill Knight, Dickson County Handbook, Easley, SC: So Historical Press, 1984.

Note: This marriage appears to have been solemnized as they appear on the 1850 census of Dickson Co. If you don't have the Bounty Land Records, I could post them here.

Richard, I don't find a Jesse in my database. If we can find the parents and uncles of "Drewry" maybe we can solve the problem. Maybe "Drewry" had an Uncle Powell for whom he named his son. I don't think it is a very common name. Maybe there was a Powell surname in the family. Food for thought. Maybe someone has already found "Drewry's" parents and will be so kind to share them with us.
