Notes

!.....West, Dorothy Thomas Skinner of Malden, MA: Descendants 1982 p 19: To Corinth as first permanent occupant in 1793 after six years in Brewer. To Brewer from Mansfield, MA, where he had kept a tavern. Served as Corporal and Sergeant in Capt. Samuel White's Co, Col. John Daggett's Regiment, Mass. Militia. Daniel and Abi both of Mansfiled, MA. (Some have given Abigail Knapp, rather than Abigail Briggs, as wife.) "...Mr Daniel Skinner, formerly from Mansfield, but more recently from Brewer (ME) with three sons and three daughters at all ages of maturity...and as the members of the Skinner family married early and settled in their father's neighborhood, a numerous, industrious and intelligent progeny soon filled the neighborhood with loving souls through whose veins ran quietly the Skinner love of domestic life; and so numerous were they that the neighborhood was very properly called the "Skinner Settlement." Palmer, Mason: Early Gleanings and Random Recollections of the Town of Corinth, Maine, 1792-1883. page 5. Daniel served in 1775 in Capt. Samuel White's 7th Co., Col. John Daggett's (Bristol Co.) Regt.; and as Sergeant, Lt. John Dean's Co., Col. Daggett's (4th Bristol Co.) Regt., 1776 (Massachusetts Militia). The house Daniel built in 1794 is still in use today (1981). The area is called the "Skinner Settlement." The farm is, today, a working farm for education in order that children and adults can see what farm life was like in those days. It has been designated an Historical Site: a corporation receives State of Maine and private contirbutions to support it.

!.....SKU 1(2):3 R50 Skinner, John B III "The Skinners" Daniel Skinner born in Mansfiled, Mass. in 1743 was a Revolutinary War veteran. After the war he and his cousin once removed Dr. Elisha Skinner came to Orrington, Province of Maine now Brewer. They came by boat and brought considerable impedimenta; even a cow. His grandfathers clock along with some peices of furniture are still at the old farm in Corinth. After getting established in Orrington, Daniel built a log cabin inn at what is now Corinth some twenty miles north up Kenduskeag stream. This was a logical place for an inn as it was on the direct route to the Moosehead Lake region. This was being opened up by trappers, etc. One of the first things Daniel did was to bring his grandfathers clock up from Orrington. This he did by dismateling it and making three trips on horse back over what must have been a very poor trail.
