Arthur Sinclair
Commodore Arthur Sinclair (died 1831) was an early American naval hero, who served in the U.S. Navy during the Quasi-War with France and in the War of 1812. His three sons also served in the Navy; they resigned in 1861, however, to serve in the Confederate Navy.
Sinclair was the great-grandfather of novelist Upton Sinclair, author of the muckracking novel The Jungle (1906).
