I am resending this information because the information at the bottom on
William SKINNER. Although I said he was in Kansas about 1903 at the time of
Samuel Springer SKINNER's death, I forgot someone sent me information on a
William SKINNER from the Valparasio Porter County Indiana 1880 Census. So I
have another William SKINNER to solve, only because it states he was born in
CAN. Don't know if it is the same one or not because the family was born in
New York. So please see information at the bottom:
A big THANKS to some special people who has helped me put some missing SKINNER
's on my tree. I believe they know who they are. In learning from them I hope
I can be as informative and as generous as they have been to me in helping
someone else one day. I am still learning the ropes. Thanks again all.
I am narrowing it down for now, then I will get it all organized when I get
back from vacation. So I might have to start on a new name while I get the
SKINNER's organized so I can see where to go next with them.
1. Still looking for the Parents of Stephen SKINNER who was born in OHIO on
1 May 1833 and died 29 Nov 1913 in Porter Indiana. He married a Mariette
WILLY who was also born in OHIO. They are listed in the Liberty, Porter Co.
Indiana 1880 Census with all children being born in Indiana. There are 2
SKINNER's that married into the BULL clan name. I believe one is Stephen's
daughter Elma E. SKINNER and it's possible that his other daughter Rebecca
SKINNER did also. Can anyone help here?
2. I still have not found out who Robert Roy SKINNER is who was born 23 Aug
1931 in Walkerton, ? I think that is in Indiana. He died in Chesterton Gary
Indiana. His parents are Ray SKINNER and Josephine NORTON. Can anyone help me
here?
3. Looking for the parents of John R. SKINNER and John himself b. in
Bakersfield Franklin Co. Vermont d. in 1849 in Valparasio, Porter County
Indiana. He married on 20 June 1830 to a Emily Ward REID b. 27 March 1806 in
Townshed Windham Co. Vermont. In 1846 he immigrated with his family to Porter
Indiana, establishing his home in Valaparsio. Can anyone help me here?
4. William SKINNER (who is the brother of Truman, and Samuel Springer
SKINNER) had gone on to Kansas at some time. In a orbit for Samuel Springer
SKINNER who died in 1903 stated him having a brother named William SKINNER of
Kansas. Looking for information William and his family. Can anyone help on
this one?
5.**** Second part of information on another William SKINNER in Valparasio
Porter County Indiana is on the 1880 census someone sent me,(which is where
most of the SKINNER's are found). It states that he was 44 yrs of age so
that would mean he was born around 1836 in CAN. His wife was Mary 41 yrs of
age born in MA. Children listed are Frank age 22 born in MA, Lizzie age 15
born in IN, Carlotta age 12 born in IN. I haven't been able to find anything
as of yet on this William to find out if he is realted or not. Can anyone
help?
