You appear to have the same information I
have. This Maria McBain Sinclair was my grandfather's sister-in-law.
My grandfather supplied a lot of the information for her writings. I have
a two cent stamped envelop. (1921) with three or four pages that survived
the years to make this writeup.(1922). Who did you get your information
from?
In one place in the letters Maria McBain Sinclair
is asking my grandfather to write someone to get more information about this
Mary. No one seems to be able to trace her. I have some of Duncan's
letters (1853) and later, plus a surveyors compass, about 3 1/2 - 4 inch that
sits on a tripod.(Brass).
This may be of no value to you as you may already
have this information. Duncan Sinclair's wife, Mary McGregor was the
daughter of elder son of Lieutenant Colonel McGregor in the Scottish army of
James VII. Wife was a Campbell of Glenfallock, a younger son was father of
Rob Roy McGregor Campbell and this Mary McGregor was a cousin of Rob Roy the
famous outlaw. I have a military researcher working on some of this
stuff. Laughie Sinclair is the fellow we would like to get a trace of, he
had some of John's personal effects.
Thank you for your reply,
Donald H. Sinclair
