Sinclair (Hollyhill & Bonnyglen)

Name	Description
Sinclair (Hollyhill & Drumbeg)	At the time of Griffith’s Valuation in the 1850s, William Sinclair was the lessor of several townlands in the parish of Inver, Barony of Banagh, County Donegal. He appears to have been held this property on lease from the Conyngham estate. James Sinclair was recorded among the principal lessors in the parish of Clondavaddog, barony of Kilmacrenan, at the same time. In the 1870s the estate of William Sinclair of Hollyhill, Strabane, amounted to over 5000 acres in County Donegal. Hussey de Burgh notes Drumbeg, County Donegal as a second address for him. The representatives of James Sinclair, with an address in Coleraine, County Derry, were the owners of over 2200 acres at that time. Burke suggests that this family are descended from Reverend James Sinclair, who became Rector of Leckpatrick, County Tyrone in the later seventeenth century.
