Chanches are he is son of Peter who was in Tn abt time of his birth 1819. Pope Co Ill 1850 census; I mentioned the kids living with him, (his sister Susans kids) I think I remember a George W. Sinks in county with him abt his age; and some Hillmans. So this Jesse possibly had married #1 Elizabeth Beard, #2 Sarah unk, and #3 Mahala King in 1860 and divorced. I'm not sure but the Jesse and Zach in Civil War in same unit might be brothers. Mahala King was dau of Mary Williams and Elijah Riley King, right? Lafayette Sinks son William (married a Williams) had son name Elijah Riley Sinks so the kin is obvious. Lafayettes grandpa Peter Sinks had remarried to a Mrs. Mary Williams. When Jesse Sinks unit mustered out he could been missing or dead as he didn't have to be there when unit disbanded. His family says he died in the Civil War so thats what happened. I put him as son to my Peter Sinks for now. Possibly Paul Powell Sinks Sr had a son that settled in Ind. that had a son name Jesse (born 1822) who married Susan Sink. Susans dad Peter did live in Ind for a while, so maybe he had a brother there. If this is correct then Jesse Sinks (died 1844) may have had a son that we need to find, remember the 1820 census. Jesse also was in War of 1812 as researched by his decendants. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
