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?

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.

Jedburgh lineage

I'd not been in a hurry to publish the latest set of results as FT DNA matches was saying, "no match".
Given the paper trail showed a match to Lineage 1a, the Jedburgh SINTONs of William & Isabella (SCOTT) this was a disappointment.
However, the next panel arrived, so I set to updating the database and web pages, creating a new "lineage" in the R1b1b2 haplogroup - and then realised that he was an exact match to just the line he was supposed to be.
FT DNA have been asked why the "no match" results, and LRF (S-6) has been included in Lineage 1a, as he should be.
Summary results, and supplementary pages updated to include him in his rightful place on the SINTON tree.

Wanted! updates

Incorporated three more charts and related person data into the Wanted! page:
- Andrew and John, sons of William and Isabella (Scott) SINTON
- John SINTON (married Margaret KAY, and believed to be a son of James & Janet (Oliver) SINTON of Southdean.
Representatives from either of the lines of Andrew and John would be great to help define William's dna fingerprint
And a representative from John's line should confirm his place on the Southdean tree

WFN Updates - Lineage 1a

Made a few updates to the SINTON DNA Project pages, including:
- correcting the pedigree shown for patriarch William (I'd missed out son John, which connected one line up to the wrong son of William and Isabella).
- assigning William and Isabella to Lineage 1a

Also added William to the Wanted! list to reinforce that although we do indeed have a representative of William and Isabella (SCOTT) SINTON's line, it would be good to see where the discrepancies with the Southdean line crept in, before or after William.

Another match! Jedburgh to Southdean

Preliminary results are just in (hot off the press) for the 4th kit, that of a descendant of the Jedburgh SINTONs, William and Isabella (SCOTT) SINTON, who married Hawick c 1804.

12/12 marker match with the Lineage 1 Southdean Sintons.
The 26-37 marker results are also available, and show a couple of markers different to the Southdean lineage 1; The 13-25 marker panel still to come.

Results page and the Roy's pages on the DNA Projects Portal updated but as yet, nothing else.

It would still be good to get a distant cousin of Roy's into the project to see whether the markers showing different to the Southdean ones are a pattern for the Jedburgh Sintons or not. Any takers? Remember that there are discounts until the end of December if you join via the project.

3rd kit ordered - Jedburgh connection

Descendant of William SINTON and Isabella SCOTT (of Jedburgh) has joined the project (pedigree on patriarchs page) .

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.

New pedigree added

Added pedigree for the family of William (married Isabella SCOTT) in the hope it may attract a descendant to participate.
William and Isabella were mainly Jedburgh based, with a large number of descendants in New Zealand.

3rd kit ordered

Third kit ordered/sent (to a descendant of William SINTON & Isobel BLACK).
A son John was born to them at Southdean in 1780.
(Subsequently withdrew from project - still looking for another representative for this line)
