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.
