Hope I can unscramble this complicated Hamilton family.
My husband descends from John "Jack" Hamilton, his second
great grandfather.
Was unable to connect Mattie to this family until someone
recently wrote me and gave me more information. I then
checked here on the Sinclair GenForum and found your message.
Emily Mattie Dean Sinclair was the daughter of
Mary J Hamilton Seal?(Sinclair?) Roberts.
Have been researching the Hamilton Families for sometime.
Their story is on my website at:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rkinfolks/http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rkinfolks/
and then click on "Kinfolks Stories", Story No. 107,
"John "Jack" Hamilton Story".
On the 1870 Searcy County, AR census, Richland Township, Visit 57 you will find:
Hamilton, John "Jack", 50, ILL
......Sarah J, 34, TN(Steele,Hamilton...2nd wife)
...... Martha E, 17, AR (daug. of Sarah)

..... Alex, 5, AR (John's son)
.... Liley Maybelle, 4, MO (John & Sarah's daug.)
Missing is Joseph and James Hamilton (John's sons)
Jack Hamilton first married Pheobe Marie Williams and they
had 6 children. Phoebe Marie died sometime around 1864 and
Jack and Sarah went to Springfield, Greene Co.,Missouri
and were married and they had Lilly Maybelle Hamilton.
Sarah J went by the name Hamilton and her children went by
the name Hamilton but I am unable to determine which Hamilton she married. One of the twin sons said they were
Hill and one of Sarah's twin sons was married as a Hill.
The family returned to Searcy Co. AR. and are on the 1880 Searcy Co. AR. Census, Prairie Twp.,Visit 314:

In 1880 Searcy Co. AR census, Richland Twp., Visit 111,
Samuel C is 47 and mother Mary is 67 and listed as St.Clair.

Checking the Searcy Co. AR. Marriage books, found:
MRS. MARY J. H. CLAIR, 45 of Witt Springs married WESLEY ROBERTS, age 57 of Witt Springs on 6Jan1892 (D-150).
====
M.D. SINKLER, age 15, of Point Peter, married W.B. Popejoy, 27 of Pt.Peter on 1 June 1895 (D-523)
I was told they were in Fort Bend County, Texas in 1900 with 2 children listed, Bedford age 13, born Aug 1886 and Lissie S, age 10, born Feb1890. I was told that Popejoy died and Mattie drove a wagon back to Arkansas by herself.
Mattie married JAMES MADISON TIPTON on 29 Sept 1901 in Searcy Co. AR.
James Madison and Mattie Tipton had nine children:
John Wesley, Joe, Dean, Samuel Dave, Verla Rebecca, Homer, Odie, Bertha Fay and Ola Tipton.
Mattie Dean Sinclair Popejoy Tipton died 5 June 1939 and is buried in Snow Cemetery, Carroll County, AR.
Her mother Mary Jane Hamilton (Seal?)Sinclair Roberts
was born 4 April 1847 in Searcy Co.AR and died 26 July 1934 in Carroll Co. AR and is supposedly buried in an unmarked grave next to her daughter Mattie in the Snow Cemetery at Berryville, Carroll Co.AR.
Do you have any more information on Mattie Sinclair??
