Am researching Peter SINKS, who married Susannah BECKNER, May 6, 1816, Franklin County, Virginia. He was born 1785, in Virginia or North Carolina. He died Oct. 20, 1872, Hamilton County, Illinois. I think, but have not proved, that Peter might be the son of Paul-Powell SINKS-ZINKS, who was on the Tax Lists and owned land in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Paul SINKS was also listed on the 1819, Franklin County, Virginia Tax List next to Peter SINKS. I also believe, but still no proof, that this Paul is the same one who was in Captain DONOHO's Company in the North Carolina Line, Rev. War. I also believe, but still no proof, that he is the same Powell SINKS who died in Dickson County, Tennessee, in 1826. I believe he is in the same family of SINKS who came from Chester County, Pennsylvania. Rich Johnson. ------------------------------------ Richard A.
