Sinclairs of Co Monaghan

The Sinclairs of Co Monaghan

There were several Sinclair families living in Co Monaghan during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Those in the parish of Muckno, near Castleblaney, were members of Frankford Presbyterian Church. However, the information about them is scanty, making it difficult to compile descendant tables. The best that can be achieved is to note what is in the records according to the townland they were living in at the time.
