Awhile ago I spent some time looking at these Sinks - Lowery marriages trying to figure out who may have belonged to Powell Sinks and his wife Elizabeth Lyle Sinks. She was his first or second wife and he went on to marry or be otherwise involved with two other women, Mary Story and Louisa McCoy. I know Powell and Elizabeth had at least three children: William, George and Harriett. William appears on the 1850 census with his mother and then I lose him. George married Mildred Lambert and is fairly well documented. Harriett married Elisha Lowery. There were obviously more children born to Powell and Elizabeth, and they were probably born in Tennesee. The 1840 census lists another girl 10-20 years and several boys but clearly they moved out/ were married off before 1850 and therefore are not listed in their mother's household. I believe additional children MAY include: Julia Ann Sinks who married David Lowery Elizabeth Sinks who married William Lowery - but I think she is probably more likely the daughter of Zachariah & Sylvia Sinks. Nancy Sinks (yes, she is definitely a Sinks)who married Alexander Lowery (they had a son they named Powell but that doesn't necesaarily mean the older Powell is Nancy's father) but I have seen other researchers place her with Zachariah & Sylvia Sinks. Let me see what I have on Louisa, born abt 1841 - I think she is probably Zachariah's daughter. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
