My gr gr grandmother had 3 husbands. This is how I believe the progression of names went; Born in Ireland in 1847 Sarah Eliza Mulamphy, married possibly a Murray, then Duncan Sinclair, then James McKinnon in 1873 Bay City.
She had possibly 6 or more children and one of them was Minnie or Mary Sinclair Churchill. Minnie marrried John Churchill and had 9 or more children. Johns fathers name was Joseph. My mother says that John and Minnie had a farm in Metamora Michigan where my Grandmother Sarah Marie Smith-Glynn and her sister Geraldine Smith spent time with in the summer.
Sarah Eliza McKinnon's grave is in Mt Elliot cemetery in Detroit MI and buried with her are;

My mother Joanne is one of 9 children of Sarah Marie Glynn. She remembers the Churchill family being involved with her family but we have lost all contact with them. I believe since John and Minnie had so many children that some of thier decendents still live in the Detroit area. Also the fact that the family was still using the family plot as late as 1994 leads me to think that they are still local. There is an endowment on the grave site possibly placed by Ruth L. Murray. I would like to make contact with the Churchill's and/or the Murray's to share genealogy, family tales, and hopefully some photos. We have few photos, few dates, and are clueless about the migration of our family to Michigan. If you know this family please reply,
