It's been awhile for me too. I hope to have more time in the summer for this. I have gathered quite a bit of info on this particular Sink/s family recently (George W Sink & Susan Buel Hodge Sink). I think they were probably separated in 1870 and she was widowed by 1880. I don't think they ever divorced, although it is possible, because she filed for his pension as his widow. I think George W may have gone across state lines and married Virginia Rogers in McCracken County KY and may then have died with her in the cholera epidemic there in 1873. Trying to confirm that scenario now. George Sink married Susan A E Hodge (maiden name Buel) in Pope co IL on 27 Jun 1848. She was the widow of Samuel Hodge whom she married in Pope Co on 10 May 1838. Their children were: Nancy Jane Sink Mary Christiana Sink Jessie Edmonia Sinks William Francis Sink I know that Jessie went on to marry William Burnett on 23 Dec 1875 in Pope Co. and William F married Ona Etta Cox. He died in Yuma AZ. I have not been able to figure out who George belongs to. That's that Sinks black whole timeframe that we all get stuck in - and he could belong to any number of Sinks.
