Henry James Sinclair

It is the tradition of the Sinclair Family of Gloucester Co Va that their ancestor Henry Sinclair from Aberdeen Scotland, the lost heir, was stolen and brought to Va when a small child, and identified later by his name and the clothing of a gentleman's son. At any rate, he lived in Isle of Wight Co and was the father besides of others, perhaps of John Sinclair of Berry Hill near Smithfield, Isle of Wight Co and Robins Neck, Gloucester Co, whose will was probated in Gloucester Co 18 Aug 1815. Gloucester tax books give him 1,280 acres in 1795 and 1,440 in 1798.
