An Attempt to Explain the

Computerized List of C.W. Myers

Question of Issue:

Thomas' Title of Sergeant

Index Page

Thanks to William Weiler for transcription of this article.

Some people have written since the publication of the first Update questioning how to read the format of the computerized list of Charles Myers. Since this is supposed to assist all of our membership, we thought that it would be helpful to make an attempt to explain it in easy terms.

First, you must remember that it is not the complete listing. There are 17 pages of descendants of Thomas Skinner in this listing, so at four pages per issue of the Update, it will take four issues to get a complete listing.

Second, although it is quite an extensive listing, it is by no means a complete listing. Mr. Myers has been working on it for some time, but like anything worth doing well, it takes time. He is constantly adding to it to make it as comprehensive as possible. We have used it as a basis for our computerized listing of Skinner descendants, and I personally have added many names based on information from other sources, including the data from our readers.

And now, for the explanation:

The listing, of course, starts with Thomas of Malden, and his wife, Mary. As you can see, their listing begins in the first column, as they are the first generation. Their children, generation two, are listed along the second column of stars. First comes Thomas, who married Mary Pratt. Their other two children, John and Abraham, will show up much later.

The children of Thomas (3) and Hannah (Carpenter) Skinner (as well as the children of Abraham (3) and Hannah (Lewis) Skinner) are of the fourth generation, and therefore will be listed along the fourth column of stars. They are Thomas, Solomon, Joseph, Hannah, Esther, Mary, Samuel, (and on the next page) Abraham and John. The spouses of the children are below them, indicated by a double star (**) before their corresponding identification number. Therefore, as an example:

* * * 37B Skinner, Thomas

* * * * 37B Carpenter, Hannah

are husband and wife..

Their children are indicated along the next column of stars thusly:

* * * 37B Skinner, Thomas

* * * * 37B Carpenter, Hannah

* * * * 37B1 Skinner, Thomas

* * * * * 37B1 Day, Abigail

* * * * 37B2 Skinner,Solomon

* * * * * 75C11 Grover, Mary

The numbering system belongs to Mr. Myers. He has extensive computerized listings on many of his allied families, and at times, the numbers do not flow as easily as we would like them to. The dates, as well as the places after the names, indicate date and place of birth.

We hope that this explanation has cleared up some of your questions regarding Mr. Myers computerized listing. If it hasn't, or if you have any further questions, please feel free to write.
