From the naming pattern of the children known, William may belong to the family of a James and Margaret SINTON, a couple of these names also being assumed to be the parents of Peter SINTON married to Janet DONALDSON.
They would be of an age and their respective descendants did intermarry.
If so, we should get an excellent dna match to the existing SINTON dna candidates. Any takers?³
