Skinners: Descendants of Thomas Skinner of Malden, Mass. p 117
Fernald, Natalie R (1938.) The Skinner Kinsmen / The Descendants
of Thomas Skinner of Malden, MA. Pioneer Press. p 178: Was born in
Ontario County, NY, the part that is now Wayne County, in 1801.
p 180: Asa's father John came from Vermont where he perhaps lived no
great length of time. Asa lived in Wayne Co., NY, then went down to
Catteraugus Co., NY, where he lived for several years on a farm close to
Chautaugua Lake. He succeeded finally in selling the farm and moved to
Canada, living in Zora twp., near Woodstock in Oxford Co., in 1837 the
Canadian Rebellion broke out and Asa's boys were suspected of being in
sympathy with it, so the family fled between two days, travelling all the
way in wagons to Michigan and throught the wilds of that territory or
state (Mich. was admitted that year) bringing with them little Arletta, a
very young infant. They arrived in Valparaiso, Indiana, and stayed there.
From History of Porter and Lake Counties, Ind. (1882): The first woman
of whose death we have any certain account was the mother of John N.
and S. S. Skinner, well known in the political and business history of the
County. Her death occurred in April, 1839. She was buried on the slope
just above the Valparaiso Paper Mill; when her remains were removed
some years since to the Cemetery (p. 109).
Asa Skinner and Electa J. (Mason) Skinner had 12 children. Both natives
of NY. In 1834 they went to Canada, and stayed 4 years, and then came to
Porter Co., where he bought 80 acres of land. In 1839 his wife died and
he went back to New York (p. 262).
p 181: Contemporary records: 1830 Census, Marion, Wayne co, NY (Note:
if this is our Asa he had others beside his family living with him.
