Hi List, thanks for everyone's help on finding some of my SKINNER clan. I am
going to try and finish what I have tonight, since it may be the last chance
I have before we leave for vacation on May 2. Sorry for all the postings but
it is easier to just send out one mailing. So I am putting out an SOS for
some help on a few names:
1. I need the parents of John Richard SKINNER b. 1808 in Bakersfield
Franklin County Vermont who married a Emily Ward Reid. I have info on John
and his family but have been able to link him to someone on my tree.
2. Confusion on my Truman SKINNER b. ca 1825: he is shown being married on
the 1880 Census in Valparasio Porter County Indiana to a Nester and with 8 of
the children's names are listed.. But in a 1850 Census he is shown to be
married with the spelling of his first name Trueman b. ca 1825 and a wife
named Sarah Johnson living with it looks like his sister Harriet. Could
Nester be a nickname? The Porter County Indiana Marriages has a Truman
Skinner married to a Sarah Johnson on 16 Oct 1849. I have tried to find out
information on Nester to find out if this might be a second marriage. Can
anyone help?
3. I am still trying to place a link on my tree to a Stephen L. SKINNER who
is the son of a William H. SKINNER b. 6 Dec 1809 d. May 1850 buried at the
Hopewell Baptist Church, Perry Co., Ohio: married a Matilda Debolt.
William H. SKINNER father is Robert SKINNER b. 1772 d. 1856 and mother is
Elizabeth Spencer b. 1776 d. 1850. Here is where I am stuck.. Who is Robert
SKINNER parents?
3. Ray SKINNER and Josephine NORTON of Chesterton Gary Inidana.... Who is
Ray SKINNER's parents? I know of one son, a Robert Roy SKINNER is. He was
b. 23 Aug 1931 in Walkerton Gary Indiana.
If I can find a connection that links these 3 to my SKINNER clan tree, I will
have no broken links for now.. Hope someone can help me out before 2 May..
thanks and God Bless.
