Notes for ROBERT SINCLAIR:
There is a suggestion that Robert may have gone to Scott County, Kentucky. Does the following account refer to this Robert Sinclair?
"In May, 1791, a party of eighteen whites were attached by about thirty Indians, about one mile north of the fort at Point Pleasant [West Virginia], near the field now belonging to David Long. The whites were defeated. Michael See and Robert Sinclair were killed. Hampton and Thomas Northrop, a black boy, belonging to See, were taken prisoners. This boy was a son of Dick Pointer, who acted so bravely a few years before at the attack on Donnally's fort, in Greenbrier [County, West Virginia]. He became an Indian chief, and in the late war with Great Britain took part with the friendly Indians against the enemy."
