Gail,

Here is more on Duncan Sinclair and Isobel McIntyre who sailed on the
"Ulysses" in August 1774 to Wilmington, NC.  They were married May 26th
[1774].  The marriage register for parish of Glenorchy and Inishail reads,
"Duncan Sinclar, Shonmelochan [name of farm or clachlan], & Isabel McIntyre
at the ferry were married."  The passenger list for the "Ulysses" contains
numerous McIntyres but only the two Sinclairs--Duncan and John.

John Sinclair married Mary Sinclair on 13 Oct 1768 in Glenorchy and Inishail
parish.  Their children may have been:
(1) Mary chr 29 Nov 1769 [father John Sinclair, mother Mary Sinclair]
(2) Donald chr 20 May 1770 [father John Sinclair, mother Sinclair]
(3) Peter chr 4 Sep 1772 [father John Sinclair, mother Mary]

Don't let the dates confuse you--these are christening dates, not birth
dates.  Mary may have been christened when she was older, Donald may have
been christened the day he was born!

Duncan and Isobel (McIntyre) Sinclair may have settled in Cumberland County,
NC.  I can't lay my hands on them right now, but there are some pre-1800
records that name Isobel Sinclair.

That's all I have.  Hope it helps.

P.S. Remind me who you are looking for--name, date and location.
