Subject: Genealogy - Grandmother Joanna
Sinclair
Don't know if I did an OOPS as I was typing
information on the message board and my information disappeared before I was
done. So, if it got sent, I apologize and will redo it all here.
If it never got sent, and I just wiped it out somehow, please forgive this
introduction.
My grandmother was Joanna Sinclair born Sept. 7,
1880 in Grant City, MO (as were all her siblings). She married Louis
Reinhard August 15, 1918 in Boise, ID and she died in Bellevue, WA on June 25,
1957. Her siblings were: Samuel Forester born May 17, 1875 and died May
4, 1908 in Clarkston, WA but is buried in Moscow, ID. He married Agnes
Tate June 17, 1900 in Grant City, MO; Charlotte born March 20, 1877 and died
July 2, 1906 in Beresford, SD but is buried in Grant City, MO. She
married Paris Phipps in 1905; Della born Dec 29, 1878 and died Feb 4, 1898 in
Grant City, MO; James Alexander born Oct. 11, 1882 and died June 23, 1941 in
Twin Falls, ID. He married Rose Ann Flint June 5, 1907 in Moscow, ID;
William Independance born July 4, 1884 and died Dec. 31, 1884 in Grant City,
MO; Catharine Helen born July 20, 1890 and died May 2, 1987 in Denver,
CO. She married Charles Colver Dec. 22, 1909 in Moscow, ID; and Susan
born June 7, 1892 and died June 13, 1976 in San Rafael, CA. She married
Oliver H. Holmberg June 28, 1916 in Twin Falls, ID.
Their father was James Hampton Sinclair born July
14, 1853 in Woodsfield, OH and died April 1, 1934 in Palo Alto, CA. He
married Sarah Ann Witmer August 2, 1874 in Juda, WI.
His siblings were: Elizabeth Jane born May 15,
1845 in Janesville, OH (?). She married William Henry Johnson in 1868;
Charlotta born 1854 in Juda, WI and died after July 4, 1940. She never
married; Emily born July 25, 1855 in Juda, WI and died July 4, 1940 in Boone,
Iowa. She married John Nelson; William born about 1861 in
WI.
Their father was William Hampton Sinclair born
1818 in Ohio and died possibly in Juda, WI. He married Emily Susan
Taylor.
His siblings were: Arthur; Cecelia; Eleanor;
John; Lydia; Mary Ann; Thomas; Alexander born about 1807; and Western G. born
about 1820 in Ohio. All of the other siblings we think were born in Co.
Armaugh, Ireland.
Their father was William Sinclair born about 1789
in Ireland and died after 1829 in Ohio. He married Sarah Hayes in
Ireland.
He had a brother, Alexander, and their father was
John Sinclair born about 1760 in Co. Armaugh, Ireland.
A family story says Harry F. Sinclair (of the
Sinclair Oil Co. and the Teapot Dome Scandal) was a cousin to my gr
grandfather, James Hampton Sinclair. I have not been to the library to
look up Who's Who, etc. so I am just getting going on this
thought.
Would appreciate any input on any of the above as
I am still getting into this and have a lot to learn. I will be going to
Salt Lake City, UT with my genealogical society in January, 2001 and hope to
search books there.
Thank you in advance for your time.
Sincerely,
Marjie
