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. At one time I think they all lived in TN. Would be glad to share any information I have. I can't tell you for sure it is all right.
