Bill:
Thanks. They are both interesting lookups. My genealogy says that William Sinkey, the Rev. War Ranger, and his wife, Mary, came to Iowa to live with a daughter. This looks like it might be that family, because of the 80-year-old living with them. I think the wife here was Mary (Polly) Sinkey. My information says that it was the daughter Jane.
In the second one, I have seen the name Buckman as I have looked at different places.
I searched the 1790 and early 1800 population tables of Canandaigua, NY last night. Most all of the names I see again and again, except Sinkey, Huston, and Ralston. Seems like the Cooleys hold a lot of clues. I also went to the Cooley genforum. Cooley appears to be a name found among the Cherokee and Choctaw. However, as they seem to have been a family that intermarried with and protected native Americans by leading them to places of safety, I am not surprised.
Thanks again!
Cindy
