Bill,
If you can find the time, could you look up yet another for me? I hate to ask, you have done so much looking for me.
However, Deb straightened out a name for me today, I think. Richard Sinkey was married to a Bridget Eno. I had something different, but since today I found an Eno cemetery in Clayton County (near Jackson County) with Enos buried in it, I am guessing that this name is likely correct. Here is what Deb sent me:
Richard Sinkey b. Abt 1742 PA
m. Abt 1766 PA
d. Abt 1814..Barree Twp, Huntingdon Co., PA
buried: Manor Hill Methodist Church Cemetary near Manor Hill, PA
m. Bridgid ENO b. abt 1746
d. abt 1816
Children:
1) William b. abt 1766 Huntingdon Co., PA
m. abt 1788
d. Sept 1899 Jackson Co., IA
m. Mary McCartney
Thanks. Bridgid might be from Maryland. I hope that this is enough information.

Thanks, Vance,
Tantilizing, isn’t it? Both the name Eno and the Sinkey she married have the possibility of indicating a native ethnicity but also have an Irish possibility. I have reason to suspect that Sinkey might be a derivative of Seneca. The web site with the Iowa cemetery is not right. It is in Clayton County, ironically about 5 miles from where I lived for 10 years. I did not have the name correct on my genealogy. Deb found it at Jackson County, IA historical society. There is a genealogy of an Eno who move to a different part of Iowa from Cayuga County, NY. Her picture reminds me of my gggrandmother’s.

PS: Just found that this Eno whose genealogy I am looking at marries a Parr. Between her origins in Oswego and Cayuga county and the marriage to a name I have in my Green genealogy (Parr), and the location of the Sinkey/Eno family being central PA, I am suspicious that not all the Enos were Irish.
