The St Clairs of the Isles gives the following information about Sinclairs arriving in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania:

Duncan Sinclair, a weaver, had three brothers, Neale, John and Archibald. He also had one sister, Margaret. They were all born in Scotland. Their father (whose
name is not given) had one brother (whose name is also omitted). They fled from Scotland to Northern Ireland to escape religious or political persecution. They went
there about 1762 and lived in Northern Ireland for 12 years before Duncan and Neale left for America in 1772. John, Archibald and Margaret (who it was thought was married to a Mr Robert Johnson, a teacher) - joined them later.

Mr Johnson is said to have settled in Washingtonville where he became a teacher and farmer. He had a son and two daughters of whom the younger married her cousin,
Robert Templeton Sinclair.

Noble hired someone to kill him, so that he could gain control of his planing mill and other real estate in Chicago. After George W. Noble's death in 1885, Charles H. Fox (Price's grandson) filed a law suit against the heirs of George W. Noble, 36 years after the death of William H. Price. William's son Henry Price joined Charles in the suit and they won. It also went to the Supreme Court and was upheld. Price and Fox were awarded $100,000 in 1890 and real estate in Chicago. It was covered extensively in the newspapers from 1886 to 1890.

Named Museum Director
John H. Bailey, native of Caledonia, and formerly associated with the Rochester Museum of Arts and Sciences, has been appointed director of the Davenport Public Museum at Davenport, Iowa. Mr. Bailey is the son of the late James Bailey of Dansville and nephew of George DeLong Bailey.

Bailey--Word has been received of the sudden death Monday night of John Haynes Bailey of Davenport, Iowa, and formerly of Caledonia. He is survived by his wife, two children, and his mother, Mrs. James A. Bailey of Davenport who is now residing with Mrs. Frank T. Bascom in Rochester.
(The Livingston County Republican, Geneseo, N.Y., Thursday, July 8, 1948)

The following is a reprint from the Davenport, Iowa, Times.
The death of John Bailey, director of the Davenport public museum, deeply shocked this community, and more particularly those who knew him intimately, since the tragedy was so sharply at variance with his nature and personality. John Bailey was as stout-hearted as he was warm hearted. He would be the last to aggrieve anyone, except as he believed that some fateful act would alleviate the suffering of others; to speed rather than delay what he obviously felt to be inevitable. Few come to enjoy in a period of ten years the affection in which he was held in so many circles and groups since his coming to Davenport. His keenly alert mind, and kindly good humor, enlivened and enriched his many associations. Members of the Comptemporary club will treasure his latest paper read before that group this spring, investing Indian and mound building relics with a measure of humor no less than interest of which few would be capable. It was this quality, combined with his deep earnestness and his scholarship, which endeared him to so many. He was exceptionally well equipped to carry on the most distinguished phase of the contribution which the Davenport museum has made to the archcology of this section, in that he had carried on similar Indian excavations in Vermont and upper New York State. He will be surely missed in the many clubs, in his church and the other circles which were mellowed and energized by his warm and vibrant personality but the greater community loss comes to the museum, whose exhibits he organized in a manner which will always remain a memorial to him.
