!.....E95.0501.02 SKU 12(2):44 Esley, Nancy fgs mn: Ingersoll E95.0501.07 SKINNER STREET; from: Vignettes of Sandwich; by: Clarence A. McCarthy Skinner Street begins at Upper Square (few call it that nowadays) at the five corners in the center of the Center and goes up Burleigh Hill to Chickıs Corners. The Skinner family must have been prominent residents of Sandwich to have this street named after them...and that is exactly the case. Along about 1790 Jedediah (1765-1844) and Sarah (1765-1840) Skinner came from Connecticut and settled in North Sandwich. Two of their sons, Elijah (1786-1861) and Clark (1806-1830) set up separate stores in North Sandwich. Within a few years Elijah moved his store to the Centre (as it was then spelled). Clark continued to keep store in North Sandwich until he was drowned fording the Mad River in Thornton in 1830. At about this time the community began calling North Sandwich Skinnerıs Corner. Tradition says this name caught on as a spontaneous show of sympathy for Clarkıs grieving wife. As late as 1926 THE SEVENTH ANNUAL EXCURSION of the Sandwich Historical Society mentions that people in the neighborhood continued to refer to North Sandwich as Skinnerıs Corners, often shortened to The Corners.
