He was a kinsman of John Talcott, of Hartford, mentioned in his will in 1659. Skinner was one of the founders of Hartford. He died there in 1650-51. His will was proved October 23, 1651. The estate was partitioned January 18, 1655, and at that time the ages of the children were given in the records, and it is from this record that the birth years of the children are computed, viz.: Mary 1638; Ann, 1639; John, 1641; Joseph, 1643; Richard, 1646, who continues the family line, as mentioned below."

Migration from East Angolia to New England before 1660; 41: TC O'Brien ... Corpus Dictionary of Western Churches; John is one of the original proprietors of Hartford, CT and his name is on the Memorial Monument to the founders of Hartford, CT in the old church burial grounds. English emigrants founded Hartford, CT. The majority were from Dorchester, Newton & Watertown, MA. On the 15th of Oct 1635, a group of men, women and children started, by land, with cows, horses and swine. Household furniture and winter provisions had been sent by water with a few emigrants to whom the overland journey would have proved too difficult. The first winter (1635/6) was severe. Frosts, snow, insufficient shelter, scarcity of food, difficulty of caring for cattle, and a consequent heavy mortality were the horrors they faced. Many attempted to return. Six in an open pinnace suffered shipwreck and after several days of wandering reached Plymouth. Thirteen took the overland route and after ten days, twelve reached Dorchester having lost one person thru the ice. The twelve were saved from starving by the discovery of an Indian Wigwam. Those who remained in Hartford suffered the chastening which made them strong. Later, those whom the rigors of the winter had terrified retuned and with them came many others. By 1639 the tide of emigration had almost ended. Those who expressed interest were frightened off by reports that all the cows were dead, that the land would bear no corn, that the meadows were only weeds, and the people were almost starved. The movement which gave birth to a new colony had practically reached an end. Every core of Hartford land was honestly gained by the colonists. The colonists who struggled through hard winters had little or no opportunity to be generous with others, but faded old deeds and land records with their strange Indian signatures and marks testify to a hardy honesty of purpose. 1635 John was a member of Rev. Thomas Hooker's Company which came to America. John was a fellow passenger of Joseph Loomis on the "Susan & Ellen" which embarked from Braintree, ENG on 11 Apr 1635 arriving at Boston, MA on 17 Jul 1635. 1639 John was a juror in Harford, CT. John's home lot was on the west side of Main St. a little below the present corner of Pearl St. but this was given to Richard Olmsted. John received in exchange a lot on the highway now known as Trumbull St. Samuel Whithead's home lot before 1639 was on Main St. of Hartford on what is now the south corner of Pearl & Main St. He sold part to John. John was received into full communion in the First Church of Hartford. 1640 John owned 22 acres in a division of upland in Hartford east of the river. 1650 John was probably buried in the Center Church Cemetery where the Founders Monument is located. Part of the cemetery is now under the street. 1651 Oct 23 In Windsor, CT an inventory of his estate showed 90 pounds, 16 shillings & 0 pence. The inventory was taken by Mathew Allyn, John Moore, John Talcott & John Barnard. 1651/2 Mar 4 The court confirmed a bargain that John White had made with John Skinner's widow for some land that did belong to John Skinner & does order that John White shall pay to Joseph Loomis of Windsor, CT. 1655 Jan 18 The Court of Magistrates if Hartford, CT Debts which apepar to the Courte to be oweing by the estate of John Skinner are as follows: £ S P To Nicho Olmested to this day 11 18 05 To Mr. John Glover 13 00 00 To Richard Layman about 01 06 00 To Mr. Loomis as by his record 34 14 06 ___ ___ ___ Paid out of the estate 60 18 11 ___ ___ ___ There remains 29 17 01 1655 The courte orders Mr. Loomis to pay the debts above specified and for the rest of the estate they distribute it as follows: £ S P To the relict 10 00 00 To Mary Skinner (abt 18 yrs) (40 Shillings) To Ann Skinner (abt 16 yrs) (40 Shillings) To John Skinner (abt 14 yrs) (40 Shillings) To Joseph Skinner (abt 12 yrs) (40 Shillings) To Richard Skinner (being 8 yrs) (40 Shillings) 08 00 00 11 17 01 __ __ __ 29 17 01 The Courte grants Owen Tudor that he shall have from the Sec.r a writng vnder his hand as follows: These are to certifie whom it does concerne that the Relick of John Skinner deceased being now the wife of Owen Tudor of Windsor was never executrix nor administratrix to any part of her late husband Skinner's Estate. 1660 Dec 6 John Loomis & John Moore are appointed to husband the estate yet remaining of John Skinner & to pay the legacies as they come to be due; & to pay out of said estate such debts as appear legally to be due so far as the estate will be responsible. 1661 Dec 5 Hartford Quarter Court.
