- Summary
- "Sinclair Stories uses genealogical research as a springboard to uncover the lives and historical context of Charles Sinclair of Sinclair Bottom, Virginia (abt. 1717?-1766) and some of his descendants, in particular through the line of his son John Sinclair who was married to Rebecca Pruitt. A major focus is on two of John's sons, Alexander and Fuller Prewitt (Pruitt) Sinclair, who were fur traders and "mountain men" in the early 19th century. Connections to associated Pruitt/Prewitt and Nidever families are explored. In addition to presenting genealogical evidence to support family groupings, selected individuals whose records are unusually revealing are highlighted Their stories go beyond a pedigree chart or family group sheet to illustrate the richness that sometimes results from exploring the genealogical and historical record of our ancestors"--
