Jacob married Mary Magdalena (went by Magdalena) Clodfelter (1791-1870) on 11 Jan 1808 at Lexington, Rowan (became Davidson) County, North Carolina.

3. Elizabeth Sink Sowers (1813-1851)
4. Daniel Sink (1814-1883)
5. Mary Magdalena Sink Nading (1818-1876)
6. Jacob Sink (1820-1864)

10. Albertine Sink Sink (1829-1905)
11. Susannah (Susan) Sink Everhart (1831-1901)
Some records mistakenly list George Mero Sink (1831-1862) as a child in this family, but he was the son of John George Sink (1783-1848) and Eva Long Sink (1787-p1850). In 1850 George M.
