In a manuscript, titled "Zinck Data", by John D. Sink of Norfolk, VA and submitted to the Virginia State Library & Archives, Richmond, VA, in 1977, we find the following info: p. 4 The family of Zinck (Sink) which came to Franklin County, VA., was originally from Northampton and Chester County, Penn. Research in Pennsylvania shows the following: Abstract of Wills, Northampton Co., Penn. Vol XVI, Easton Public Library. File 347 (1763). Henry Zinck (Tzinck, Zink, Sink), carpenter, Lehigh Township. Wife Elizabeth. Only on of his children listed which is Michael. 1763. Lancaster Co., Penn.,Intestate Records. Henry sink, Administration Bond dated 1814 (may be secured for $2.50). Same County--Will of Elizabeth Sink, 1842. T-1-138. "LANCASTER COUNTIANS IN THE VALLEY OF VIRGINIA", by M. Luther Heisey. (To Augusta County, Va.) Daniel Sink, who removed in 1752. Peter Sink of Northampton County, Penn., served in 1st Batt'n. of County Militia, Company 7, under Capt. Francis Rhoades. A Peter Sink is also listed in Virginia list of the Revolution. This Peter could be the same one or one of the Shenandoah County, Va. Sinks. Henry Sink lived in Chester County, Penn. 1758-59-60. A record of a Henry Sink marrying Elizabeth, widow of John Stager is in this county. John Stager died in June 1747. Michael Sink might have been his son (of Henry) by an earlier marriage or he could have been a brohter of Michael and named his son after his brother. Graydon Sink says he has never found tax tickets on any other Michael after 1775. Michael and Mary Sink appear to be the parents of Abraham and Stephen Sink of Franklin County, VA. The names of Stephen and Abraham appear in Chester County, Penn. records from taxable age until their departure for Virginia. Graydon Sink believes that the following may be older brothers of Stephen and Abraham: Jacob, who probably settled in Bourbon Co., Ky, about 1778 Paul, who probably settled in Salisbury Co., N.C. in 1778 John, either died or came to Franklin Co., Va. with his brothers." Will send more next time. Good 'searching! Sandy from Ohio
