Thanks to William Weiler for transcription of this article.

One of the more Interesting aspects of what I'm doing is adding new lines to the Skinners. Since receiving the Beatrice Bailey book with 20,294 Skinners, I felt sure that Thomas's, Richard's, and John's descendants were not quite that prolific, although entirely possible, and that there were quite a few other lines.

Little by little, information has been coming in about, what I will refer to as, `ethnic lines.' These are lines that are not of the standard Scottish-English lines that most of us are searching.

So far, I've been 'introduced' to 2 ethnic lines.

The first is a Black line. This is from the records of Barbados (NY?). Listed is an Elizabeth Skinner, mulatto slave, the property of Elvira Cole, bap 8 July 1796 St. Michael Parish. From `Barbados Records, Baptisms 1637-1800,' by Joanne McRee Sanderse, Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore, 1984, p233. Thanks to Eunice R. Skinner; P.O. Box 2383; Globe AZ 85502.

The second line is Cherokee Indian. From the numbering system in the listing, I would venture a guess that there is indication of three separate Skinner families that are Cherokee by blood. 8 names are listed, and their corresponding roll numbers are:

Skinner, Thomas F. 7545

Skinner, Morgan D. 7546

Skinner, Galuga T· 7547

Skinner, Bettie A. 7548

Skinneer, Mary A. 7549 (double 'e' is correct )

Skinner, Laura C. 26558

Skinner, John 28810

Skinner, Ray N. 28811

This listing is from the "Index to the Final Roll of Citizens and Freedmen of the Five Civilized Tribes in Indian Territory," Washington, D.C., Government Printing Office, 1907, p386.
