There is a record of a Henry and William Sinclair, testifying against the Templars at the 1309 trial but that is an act inconsistent with any alleged support or membership, wouldn't you say?

Watch those shows & you'll be updated. I mentioned these to Sir Nathan in another forum topic way back.
According to Lomas, the Sinclairs and their French relatives the St. Clairs were instrumental in creating the Knights Templar. He claims that the founder of Templars Hugh de Payns was married to a sister of the Duke of Champaine (Henri de St. Clair), who was a powerful broker of the first Crusade and had the political power to nominate the Pope, and to suggest the idea and empower it to the Pope.

There's a family tree (including marriages) that goes from Hugh de Payens all the way to Christopher Columbus, including the theory that Columbus didn't "discover" America and was simply handed the route. Lots of interesting info and theories surrounding this kind of thing. I'll have to see if I can dig it up again. I've been keeping a log of some random facts I think correlate down the line, and need to get them posted somewhere.

I think I watched the ""Holy Grail in America" on Netflix but do not recall the details of it. Did they have some reenactments of templars with a tower built somewhere on the east coast? - Either case I'll have to queue them up to watch this weekend! :)
Lord Dane:
Newport Tower in Newport, RI. Templar Church from 1400 NOT Colonial era windmill from 1600's. Coincides with 1398 American expedition of Henry Sinclair.

Was also recorded in a ship log of (I may have the name wrong) Amerigo Vespucci? Or someone making a voyage in that area who reported the tower at/near current Newport area.
