DISTINGUISHING FEATURES/PARTICULARS

I seek the parents of Eli Sink b. 1824 Indiana, m. Amanda Pritchard, 6 Feb 1851 in Owen County, IN (her father Andrew Pritchard, mother Louisa Eliz. Myers). Eli died while visiting relatives 18 Mar 1894 in Alaska IN and his remains were shipped home to Terrell, Kaufman County, TX. It is likely that Eli Sink had at least two brothers, Paul Sink who is listed on 1880 Morgan Co. IN census. Paul died in Kaufman Co. TX 8 Jun 1894, no mention of family in local obit. The other possible brother is Jesse Sink, (note that Eli changed spelling to Zink in Texas) although phonetically, Zink in German is pronounced "TSink". Jesse married Hannah Beck, whose father was involved with the Mercer Colony in Texas and this marriage was to acquire land in Texas. Jesse and Beck divorced shortly after their arrival in TX and no further record of Jesse Sink is found.
