My husband descends from Powell Sinks born 1793 VA, through his son Peter Sinks, born 1855 IL I have not heard of any native American connection to the Sinks family but it is certainly possible. I have heard that the Hart family that Peter Sinks and some of his brothers married into may have had Indian roots. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Would Mary Ann (Polly) be trying to keep up a farm with the help of her female daughters Ellen age 12 and Elizabeth age 17? I can't figure out David working nearby at the Hill farm and living there. Perhaps she did go a bit crazy because her husband was killed in the Civil War and she was 54 at the time of the census and struggling to keep up the family farm. P.S. Are you related to the Sinks or the Atteberrys? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I don't know anything about her name. I don't know where she's buried. We think George is buried in the Essex Cemetery in Mo but not real sure of that. We know that they lived in Wayne, Il until at least 1895 but then moved to Stoddard Co, Mo but we don't know if Sena lived long enough to go with George to Mo. So not sure if she is buried in Il or Mo. He married Mary C. Corgan in 1899 in Mo. I think Sena is buried in Mo because it seems he wouldn't be traveling with two small children without her. Maybe he had help many of the Thomason families moved to Mo so did David Sinks he was there by 1880. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Mary Ann's parents I think are David Hall b.1779 Georgia and Hannah Phillips b.1792 North Carolina. They were married in Maury County, Tenn. Jan. 17 1810. I confirmed that with records from Maury County. Their first born was Richard and he was b. 1811. They moved to Ilinois between 1811-1816 and Mary Ann was born April 29, 1816. Are you a descendant of Sena Sinks? I am curious about the name Sena. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Mary is listed as Polly in the 1860 census. It's hard to go on census where their from because each census taker will put down a different state. If one is from person is from TN he might mark everyone from TN. The 1870 has many mistakes in it. In the 1870 census there is also a David Hall right age for being Mary's brother. James was in Wayne Co in 1855/1865 census for Wayne, Co. Il Can't find James in the 1850 census. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Syliva may have been married to a Sinks we know nothing about. And then there's Zachariah Sinks/Mary Reed. He's one of the older Sinks. I sometimes think Powell goes by Peter. When trying to place where they come from it's hard because in each census it will be a different place. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I can find him in 1860 with Mary (but she is listed as Polly which was a nickname for Mary) and their children Ceina (Sena?), Davis, Sally, Elizabeth and Ellen. James is in the Illinois State census in 1855 and 1865 (Wayne County.) In 1870 Davis/David is living with the Hill family as a farm hand and Mary is nearby (listed as Jinks but it should be Sinks. Here you are right - the information is messed up - the wronng age, birhtplace etc adn yet I think this may somehow still be the same family. Note she is listed as insane - she may have given bad answers or the census takers got it wrong. The ages of the kids are inconsistent with other census records. Again, I wouldn't rule this one out, I just think there were errors. Also I don't think Eddie was a boy. That child is listed as a female - so I wonder if it could be Ellie/Ellen and they again, just got it wrong. There is a marriage record for James Sinks and Mrs. Mary Attebury. I think it is "orderable" from the IL archives. That's what I have. Hard to follow..... Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: Ar403 Surnames: SInks, Story, Lyle, McCoy, Lowry Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.sinks/171.1.1.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The Sinks family is hard to follow - really challenging. The used the same names over and over which makes it hard to follow AND in teh case of Powell Sinks, he HAD to have had more than one family going at a time which obviously makes it challenging! I have not linked Sylvia and Powell, but wouldn't rule anything out. The first wife of Powell (born VA 1793) that i know of is Elizabeth Lyle Sinks. Two things that support this marriage in the biography of their son, George W Sinks, in the 1883 History of Henry County Missouri, National Historical Co pg 687 (names are stated in it) and also the dicorce records of Powell & Elizabeth Sinks in Jefferson Co. Ill. Further support to connect them is the 1840 and 1850 census in Jasper Ill. In 1840 Powell is listed as head of household and in 1850 Elizabeth is listed with her three children William, George W and Harriet. William was born in TN and the other two in IL. The neighbors match up in both censuses and the divorce record (Powell committed adultery)lines up in the timeline. The George in the biography is this George. SO we know that Elizabeth and Powell were the parents together of William - who I can't trace after this census, George - who went on to be quite documented, and Harriet who we know married Elisha Lowry on 23 march 1856 in Jeffe! rson IL. Harriet is no longer listed as Elisha's wifein the 1880 census so I assume she passed away between 1870-1880. I know Powell and Elizabeth had more children because the 1840 census lists another girl 10-20 years old and several boys but they are all out of the household by 1850 so it's hard to figure out who they were. I figured teh extra girl must be wither Julia Ann Sinks, who married David Lowry, or Elizabeth Sinks who married William Lowry, or Nancy Sinks who married Alexander Lowry. I beleive other have placed Nancy as the daughter of Powell because she named a son Powell, but I'm not convinced she is his daughter. Elizabeth does live near them int eh 1850 census but I think the proximity MAY have been more of a Lowry thing than a Sinks thing. Her two daughters married Lowry's so it makes sense she would be near Lowry's in general. Nancy and Alexander also had a son named Zachariah. I don't think the Elizabeth who married William is the daughter or Powell and Elizabeth because Sylvia was living with her. I assumed Sylvia was Elizabeth's mother. I think Julia Ann, who married David Lowry maked the most sense to me right now as the daughter of Powell & Elizabeth . She is the right age and she seems to shadow the known siblings and Elizabeth in various census records. In 1860 Julia and Davis are right next to George and Mildred Sinks. In 1870 David and Julia are in Kansas.. Goerge and Mildred moved from Kansas in 1868 so they lived there for a while and it's possible they went there together. Although I think Julia is the storngest possibility I wouldn't rule ANYTHING out. They could ALL be Powell's children with various wives/women. Obviously the divorce record shows he committed adultery and Elizabeth kicked him out. He also had a relationship/marriage with a Mary Story, and his son Peter and several of Peter's brothers list Mary as their mother on their wedding records. Two of the brothers who indicate Mary Story was thier mother were born after the date that Powell married Louisa Mc Coy in 1857. It seems like Powell had Mary in one household and Louisa in another?? It has been hard finding Powell in records. I tend to think he tried to stay out of them. The best information I found on him is the 1870 census in Missouri - he is with Louisa and children of Mary and Louisa are in the household. Very interesting. I'm going to have to take another look at Sylvia - maybe she fits in where I wasn't expecting to see her. Crazy! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I think I figured Powell because one of daughters named their son Powell. Sena I am sure belongs to Mary and James Sinks. Can't find her with any of the other Sinks. I ordered Grant Thomason's marriage record and there was Sena on the marriage cert. as a witness. I also have a copy of George and Sena's marriage but no parents on there but they were married in the home of Sarah and Richard Thomason. I have Sylvia living with Elizabeth (Sinks) Lowery 1850. Nancy Sinks Lowery living next door and Louisa Sinks living with Nancy. In 1860 Sylvia is living with Louisa Sinks and hubby James Rayburn.... I have her in 1870 living with Louisa Sinks Rayburn. I believe all these girls are her daughters. I also believe Frederick Davis is her father he lived to be 93 and is living with Louisa Sinks in 1870. I have known for awhile that somehow the Davis family was connected to the Thomason and Sinks and I think this is how their connected. That's my feelings about this family. Don't know if I'm right.

Sarah Ann (Atteberry) B. Jan. 27 1847 in Wayne was the last of the 6 children of John Warren and Mary Ann Atteberry. Sarah Ann was the only children that remained with Mary Ann after her divorce from John Warren. Mary Ann died in 1869 so that is why you can't find any more info about her after that. Do you think that the Indian part of your heritage comes from the Sinks side of the family or from Mary Ann's family? I don't understand why Mary Ann was buried under the name of Hall. I live in Idaho so I am not close to Illinois to research info. The Fairfield Public Library in Wayne County (618)842-4516 gave me some info about the Halls and Atteberry families. Did James Sinks fight for the Confederacy or for the Union? I wonder who cared for Elisabeth b. 1853 and Ellen b.1857 Sinks after their father died in 1865 and then their mother in 1869.

I find Mary Sinks in the census until 1870 then I can't find her. Their son David Sinks later appled for war pension from James Sinks. My grandfather and his sons all said Sena was Indian. I still have one living aunt and she says the same thing. My uncles and my Dad all looked Indian. I really don't know for sure. All families seem to think they have Indian. I believe Mary is Sarah Atteberry's mother also and that Sarah and Sena are half sisters. I think James Mom and Dad are Syliva (Davis) and Powell Sinks. There are lots of reason's why I think that but to long to put on here. James Sinks did live in Wayne Co. The Sinks, Thomason and Lowery families were all close.
