Duns/Chirnside/Hampstead

Love to hear from researchers/descendants of  the following families:

• James & Jean (TROTTER) SINTON of Duns, Berwickshire (1784-1797 at least),
• Thomas and Elizabeth (CURRY) SINTON of Sunup, Lauder, Berwickshire (1782-1797 at least),

and the following London SINTON siblings born Scotland:

• George Hay & Mary (JOHNSTON) SINTON - Hampstead nurserymen/seedsmen 
• William & Elizabeth Mary (MONTAGUE) SINTON - Hampstead gardener
• Thomas & Agnes (WAIT)/Lily (WIGHT)/and possibly Janet (BLACKET) SINTON - carpenter of Chirnside (1810-1833ish), then Eltham (Kent) & St Pancras

Keep an eye on the DNA Project Patriarchs page as all of the above have had/are having significant updates to the original tree provided.
None are as yet represented in the SINTON Surname DNA Project - can YOU remedy that?

Edinburgh SINTONs

A new outline pedigree has been added to the Patriarchs page - that of the mason James SINTON & Helen TELFER
Should there be any direct male line SINTONs out there wishing to explore their releationship to other SINTONs, now would be a good time to join the SINTON DNA project - see below for the current discount offer.

Quebec Sintons

An outline descendant chart (of dna candidates only) has been added to the Patriarchs page for the family of Robert & Jane (WIGHT) SINTON of Quebec.
To explore relationships between SINTON lines, DNA candidates are still required for:
- James and Ann SINTON of Lowick, Northumberland
- John and Janet (SCOTT) SYNTON of Duns
- James & Isabella (FLEMING) SINTON of Southdean
- William & Isabella (BLACK) SINTON of Jedburgh and Southdean

So, if you are a direct male line SINTON from any of these, or other lines not documented  here, simply follow the links to join the project.

New lineages added

DNA Projects Portal site updated to include lineages for both of the last two participants (Roy's Jedburgh line and Bob's Irish line).

Also combined the Southdean lineages, and added a brief note about why I've joined the John who married Alison HALL up to James SINTON and Barbara OLIVER of Clesleepeel, and connected Peter (married Janet DONALDSON) up to this latter James' father's assumed first marriage.

May 29, 2008: Duns SINTON line pedigree added

Patriarchs page updated to include a line of SINTONS from Duns:
John SYNTON/Janet SCOTT of Ashkirk
William SINTON/Isabel DUNLOP of; Edinburgh
John SINTON/Ann THOMSON of Partick
James SINTON/Augusta McNAUGHTON of Kent
Thomas SINTON/Lily WIGHT
and assorted other places.
Representatives of this line would be most welcome to expand our knowledge of the SINTON DNA.

2nd kit preliminary results in - with expected match

Second kit 12/37 marker results available.
Thankfully shows the expected match with the first kit, their respective ancestors being Peter and James, sons of Peter and Janet (DONALDSON) SINTON of Southdean.
Still no surname matches outside the project.

2nd kit ordered

Second kit sent out - to a descendant of James SINTON and Margaret WILKIE, James being a son of Peter SINTON and Janet DONALDSON.
These first two kits will hopefully provide a good benchmark for the Southdean lineage of Peter SINTON and Janet DONALDSON.
