I am related to this family, too.
Mary Magdalena and Charity Myers were sisters to my 4g Grandpa, Noah Myers--who also
married a Sink: Malinda Sink.
This is what I know about Malinda, but I would love more information if you have any!
Malinda Sink, (b. 8/13/1819 in Washington Co., IN--d. 4/13/1880 in Grove Twp., Jasper Co.,
IL). She married Noah Myers (b. 22 oct 1814 or 1810 in Rowan, NC--d. 26 Jun 1887 in
Jasper Co., IL) on February 05, 1840. They had 10 children.
It appears that her family was from North Carolina as well. Several Myers and Sink
(Zinck) families moved from Rowan, NC to Morgan and Owen Counties in Indiana before the
mid 1800s. Noah Myers neice, Sophronia Myers, married a Andrew John Sink and lived beside
Noah and Malinda for many years.
Noah Myers' sister, Mary Magdalena Myers, also married a Sink--Christian Sink, son of
Michael David Sink and Elizabeth Myers (another Myers-Sink marriage!). Noah's other
sister, Charity, married Christian Sink's brother, Matthias Sink. I'm thinking
that Andrew John Sink and Malinda Sink must be decendants of Michael David Sink and
Elizabeth Myers, but I haven't been able to prove that so far.
Any information that anyone could provide would be most appreciated!
