From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Sinclair was the founder of J & T Sinclair Company, in Liverpool, England, in 1832. In 1862, he opened a branch in New York City; and, in 1871, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

In 1856 Sinclair commissioned the Sinclair Seaman's Presbyterian Church in Belfast as a memorial to his father John Sinclair, a merchant from the city.
