Ephraim Sinclair and wife Ethel H. (Stafford) Sinclair; Harmony, Maine; in group photo
Ephraim Henry Sinclair was born in Maine in March of 1870, the son of Martin Van Buren Sinclair and his wife Eliza L. (Cook) Sinclair. His paternal grandparents were Thomas Shaw Sinclair and wife Ruth B. (Cook) Sinclair. I don't as yet have the names of Eliza L. Cook's parents.
On 8 April 1896 at Harmony, Maine, Ephraim Henry Sinclair married Ethel H. Stafford, who was born in July of 1873 in Maine, the daughter of Franklin Joseph Sinclair and wife Abbie (Brown) Sinclair. Her paternal grandparents were Obadiah and Rebecca (Gray) Stafford. Her maternal grandparents were Richard L. (possibly Llewellyn or Lord) Brown and wife Mahala (Watson) Brown.
Ephraim and Ethel raised a family of at least three in Harmony, Maine. Ethel died in 1938 and Ephraim in 1954.

Ephraim is the man sitting in front, with wife Ethel at his left, as viewed in the photograph. The photograph was taken by the Dinsmore studio of Dover, Maine, which is near the Harmony, Maine area in which the couples lived.

Ephraim Henry Sinclair was born March 1870 in Maine,
the son of Martin Van Buren Sinclair, born in Dennysville, Maine in
1847, and his wife Eliza L. (Cook) Sinclair, born in Corinna,
Maine, in 1851. Ephraim's paternal grandparents were Thomas
Shaw Sinclair and his wife Ruth B. (Cook) Sinclair.
Thomas Shaw Sinclair's father was George Amesy Sinclair, who was born in Hallowell, Maine in 1793. I believe "Amesy" was a nickname for Amasa, so perhaps he was George Amasa Sinclair. He had a son by the name of Amasa, so perhaps it was a family name. I haven't yet learned the names of George's parents. I would love to know what drew him to Washington County, Maine.
I believe the parents of Ruth B. (Cook) Sinclair were Samuel and Lydia Cook.
