This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Sinclair, Mitchell, Booth Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hAC.2ACE/1226.2.2.1.2 Message Board Post: I have a portion of the book "The Sinclair Family in Virginia," and am researching the Sinclair/Booth connections. My section starts with Page 28, and I received it in the mail from a third cousin, Ann Willson. She is also researching the Sinclair line in Virginia. Jefferson Sinclair Selden, Jr. died in 1964, and the copyright on his book was 1964. "John Sinclair (1656-1720), married Sarah, daughter of Lawrence Smith." That Smith name makes it very 'interesting' to try and trace the family. I don't know how far down the line the next is, but here goes: "Margaret Munford Sinclair, born at "Shabby Hall," now known as "Sherwood," in 1825. Died in 1874 and buried at Sherwood cemetery in Gloucester County, VA. She married Thomas Buckner Booth, date unknown. Booth born 12-7-1798, at "Chelsea," now known as "Violet Bank" One of their children was John Sinclair Booth, born Feb. 8, 1859, who married Maggie E. Mitchell, sister of Forrest Jay Mitchell, who was my great grandfather. Please contact me?? Jo Yates - j.yates@prodigy.net
