In researching on the Missouri SOS site, if you look for Mary K. Jones; you will find the informant as Arthur Sinks (this is from Popular Bluff, Butler County, Missouri). My guess is that Henry Samuel Sinks (whose parents via the death certificate show Henry S. Sinks and Kathren Brenen) is the brother of Arthur Byrd Sinks. It looks like from various census' that Kathren Brenen is known as Mary Katherine Brenen-married to Henry S. Sinks and then to a Henry Jones. I see possibly two children (Henry Samuel and Arthur Byrd) with Henry S. Sinks and possibly three other children with Henry Jones. I saw census' from Kentucky and from Missouri. Most of the census show that both Henry Samuel and Arthur Byrd were born in Kentucky (probably Arlington, Carlisle, KY) and that their father was born in Illinois and mother was born in Missouri. I am trying to go further past Henry S. Sinks (his parents and so on). Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
