You inquired about William A. Skinner or Orange County FL in the 1800's. We moved to Orlando (Orange County) FL in 1953. My father was Will A. Skinner and I'm Jr. When we moved to Orlando there was only one other Skinner in Orange County at the time. We did research to see if there had previously been other Skinners. As far as we were able to ascertain they weren't. Doesn't mean that there couldn't have been for various and sundry reasons; i.e. the Orange County Courthouse burned on a least one and maybe two occasions and records were lost. My grandfather was William Lafayette Skinner of Monroe County AL. I would be interested in knowing if you obtain any other information.

If I can help you in any way please advise.

 

Thanks and best regards,

My name is Jane Skinner Fleming. My grandfather was William Augustin Skinner from Cartersville, Ga. He had a brother named Walton. My grandfather moved to New Jersey where he met my grandmother. They had 2 children, my father who was William Augustin and his brother John. They used to call my grandfather Big Gus and my dad was Little Gus. I would love to gain information on the family line before my grandfather. My grandfather died in his 40's, my dad was a teen when he died. So, I never knew the man.

Joshua SKINNER m Elizabeth Moultrie & Isabelle Walkup [UN 1114]

Date: 21 Jun 1998

From: Jean Danielson <JHDANIELSON@prodigy.net>

 

 

About three years ago I asked you if you had any information on a Joshua Skinner born 1816 in Madison/Estill Co KY. Moved to Buchanan MO by 1840, married Elizabeth Moultrie in 1841, then Isabelle Walkup in 1845. He moved from Buchanan Co MO to Page Co IA by 1860, and died there in 1900. Could you once again see if you might possibly have any information on my Joshua?

 

There was a Phinneas Skinner (don't know if I spelled Phinneas right) who was in Platte Co MO about 1850 and 1860. I found a land patent for this Phinneas Skinner in Buchanan Co MO ca 1840. It was very close to where the Moultrie family lived. Since Joshua first married a Moultrie, I'm thinking that this Phinneas might have been a brother. Do you have any information Phinneas, such as parents?

 

What information do you have on the John Skinner family that was in Madison/Estill Co KY ca 1800?

 

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I have very little to go on searching for grandfather John Skinner. He married maternal grandmother Rose McCafferty (b. near Glasgow 1888. d.Kingston, ON, 1959 ) and they had two daughters - Rose ( my mother ), Eileen, and sons Bill and John. They all emigrated to Canada around 1933 when Skinner/McCafferty marriage broke up due to abuse. No one has talked about it since, so I have no trace.

 

Grandmother Rose's sister married (? Brown ) who lived in Glasgow and worked in the shipyards on the Clyde.

 

Any direction or help would be appreciated. I am also working on the Bebee family name at the same time. Interesting hobby!

I don't know how much help this will be, but maybe it's a possible "avenue".

 

One of my ancestors, "William Nevil Lambdin" (a shipbuilder) married "Ruth Skinner" (born March 28, 1778 died March 21, 1870....buried behind St. Luke's Methodist Church, in St. Michaels, Talbot Co., MD), on October 3, 1798, in Talbot County (probably St. Michaels). I feel that the records you are looking for, are in that area.

 

It is possible that Ruth had a brother who might be your great-great-grandfather, (father of your great-grandfather). Ruth's father was "John Skinner" and her mother was "Ruth" (nee?).

 

I hope this helps. Good luck in your research, and would you be kind enough to forward any information you get on the "Skinners", in that time period to me?

From: Marjorie Skinner marja.spirit@virgin.net

My name is Marjorie Skinner and I live in London. Today I came across the Skinner family Association while looking for my brother's Email address.

Yesterday (Friday 8 May) my father was buried. He died of a heart attack at the age of 60. He was born and grew up in Jamaica, and came to England in the 60's with my mother. They had eight children together and I am the first born.

What I noticed when looking at all the Skinner's on the SFA web sight was there was no mention of a Black branch of the name.
Obviously a Skinner at some time was involved in the slave trade and this is what I find very interesting.
We are a very large family based all over the world, however I have no real desire to have a family get together I would love to find out who gave us our name and what part of the world he came from.

If you have any information at all Please let me know. Or if you would like to know anymore about us feel free to ask.

Sincerely
Marjorie.

I am a white American descended from Richard Skinner of the Isle of Jersey who helped found New Jersey. I served in the American Military in the 1960s and ran across several black Americans with the surname of Skinner. One American Skinner did immigrate to the islands and then into the American Southeast and I'm sure there were Skinner slaveowners at some time in the past.

In reply to your query about Black Skinner's. I am white but I had the opportunity a number of years ago to have a band from Chicago, USA stay at my house. After they settled in they told me they were surprised to find out I was white because all the Skinner people they knew were black. The same is true in Halifax, Nova Scotia where I was born. The other Skinner families were all black.

Seem like in this instance I'm the minority.

Your grandfathers name was Eli Morris Skinner born 14 June 1845 in Perry co., Ohio. He married Mary Eve Buchman 30 May 1867 in PerryCo., Ohio. Eli died 2 Oct 1925 in Glenrock, Converse, Wyoming.

 

His father is our elusive Skinner. We haven't pinpointed his exact father, but we know which family it was. We believe his father was John Slathiel Skinner, son of Samuel Skinner born 20 Nov 1757 in Bedford Co., Pa. He was the son of Samuel Sr. born 1729/34 of Woodbridge, NJ. who married Agnes Critchfield . His father was Nathaniel Skinner who married Elizabeth King.

 

Eli seems to have disappeared, and lots of investigation is being done to find proof.

 

My grandfather was Richard Skinner brother of Eli Morris Skinner. I would be more than glad to help you on anything I can. Take care.

Hi, I am trying to find out information on George Skinner born in 1846 - I think he was the brother of James Skinner born in Devonshire, England. Do you have any information on the eight children?

Thank you, Mary Pat

Hello Ella,

Widlake is an uncommon name. I know of a John Skinner who lived in Devon who married Elizabeth Wedlake in 1832 in Devon.

I know his parentage but nothing about their children - co-incidence maybe?

My grandfather Sebastian Skinner was born in Hollocombe - Winkleigh area in 1898 - he had 2 brothers and 1 sister. (Jack and Minnie and ?) he was a bee keeper and sold honey by the ton. He moved to Colyton in E Devon in 1934. The family were (and still are) members of the Pylmouth Brethren. Attending Allerbridge Chapel near Coldridge and also Chumleigh. I wonder if you know if my family is linked to your Alexander Skinner from the 18th century?. He married an Emily? Sampson from Coldridge. my grandmother was born in 1902. other relatives still live in Wembworthy, Coldridge area. I notice also that you don't know where Warkleigh is. Perhaps it is a miss spelling of Winkleigh.

Yours sincerely

Major Skinner

From: Thomas Beusse sbeusse@groupz.net
I am seeking information about a Major Skinner of the U.S . Revolutionary War. Major Skinner was given a land grant for his services and he and his decendents ultimately lived in Augusta, Georgia for several generations. He operated a dairy farm and present day Skinner Mill Road is named for his family.

Hello:

 

My name is Mary Skinner and I am a direct descendant of Major Skinner. This is what I can tell you about him from an article that appeared in the Richmond County History, Vol. 10, No. 1 Winter, 1978:

 

It is said that Major William Skinner cam to Georgia, either before or after the Revolutionary War. He was granted land in Screven and apparently George Washington had breakfast there in 1791.

 

Major Skinner and his wife Elizabeth had seven children. The oldest, John was born in 1786. The others were William, Thomas, Caroline, Seaborn, Linvingston, and Sallie. In 1806 Major Skinner and Seaborn Jones traded lands owned by Jones in Richmond Country for those owned by Skinner in Screven Country. The Major then went on to acquire large land holdings around Augusta, GA, including what is now the site of Augusta College.

 

The Major's oldest son John, had two sons John and William and they stayed on the land. William had a son, William H. Skinner and he had a son William Skinner. William Skinner was married to Jane E. Skinner and they had a daughter, Jesse and a son, John Seaborn. John Seaborn was my grandfather. My father, William Allan was his only son. One thing I can tell you about this branch of Skinners -- they were all extraordinarily tall -- Jane's obituary says she was married to the "largest man in the state" and my father, my brother, me and my sister are 6'0" plus.

 

If you are able to find anything more about the Skinners of Screven and Richmond County -- I would be most interested.

 

Thanks,

 

Mary Skinner

Hi Rod:

 

I was born and brought up in Reading, Mass. I have many relatives in New England.

My father, WILLIAM grandfather, ARTHUR and Great grandfather, JOSIAH were all from Ochre Pit Cove in Conception Bay (on the east coast) Our family have been trying to out when and what descendants came from England. We think either Dorset or Devon area. It seems that most of the immigration ships sailed out of Liverpool. My stepfather-in-law was also a Skinner- VINCENT. My grandfather told us once that his grandfather was one of 4 brothers. One of them landed in Ochre Pit Cove and another in Fogo Island. That's where Vincent is from. We might be related!! Wouldn't that be a kick!! Would love any information you can find out about the England origin. Marie

Hello Barbara,

 

Saw your quiry on the Skinner family, sorry in the delay in responding. Haven't worked on this family in months, an the e-mail message didn't come to my home.

 

My Great Grandmother was Laura Alice Skinner/Keltner/James/ Marlow. As a young child Grandmother was adopted out with 5 of her siblings. They were taken to various family in the area who could feed an care for them. As a young adult her younger brother Elmer found her living with the adoptive family. This family took her in for a farm hand and worked her like a slave, even as a young child.

 

In doing the research more than once, the childern have been placed with other families. The Skinners in my line were quit poor, with alot of chilern.

 

Will include the family of Laura Alice

 

Lemuel Washington Skinner Ohio

Sarah A. Fisher Penn.

Alexander 1855 Jackson Co. Ohio

Syvin (sp) 1860 "

George W. 1862 "

Raebell F. 1867 "

Calvin 1869 "

La Belle 1876 "

Laura A. 1877 " or Fayette Co. Ohio ??

On the 1860 Jackson Co. Ohio the census taker wrote the family name as SCINER. Had never considered the name being spelled that way, was lucky to have found it.

 

Sorry I couldn't find a John William in my files.

Subject: Robert Skinner family (et al), England to Illinois.
Date: Sun, 5 Oct 1997
From: Allen Griffith magriff@dave-world.net

Could you please send my email letter below to anyplace(s) any such query can be put, and please foreward this letter to anyone else you think might have a link to this family.

I'm searching for connections, details and confirmation or corrections of my "known" data on my wife's Skinner ancestry, thus far from England to Illinois.

The earliest definite Skinner from my wife's line that I know of was Robert Skinner, born May 1, 1801, near Ash Priors, a small community in Somerset Co, England. I don't know for sure when he died but it is likely @ Illinois, USA circa 1865. I have reason to believe he immigrated to the U.S. via NY in 1854/55 (have been unable to find the ship or immigration records) and soon thereafter came to Chicago, IL with his family. I believe but cannot confirm that his Father was John Skinner who married Elizabeth JOYCE 1794 @ Ash Priors, England. Unfortuntately there were 2 John Skinners born in Somerset Co, England during the era he was born. The most likely is from parents James & Phillis who had son John, born @ Chipstable in 1770, the other of parents John & Susannah born 1771 in Horsington. John's son Robert married Mary RICH about 1830, and had several children: Mary Jane, Sarah Ann, William Henry, Anna Maria, James & Elizabeth, all born between 1831 & 1842. About 1843 ? his wife, Mary died and within a few years (about 1844), Robert married Mary's younger sister, Ann RICH. They had children: Amelia, Rhoda, George & Henry all between 1845 & 1853. Ann & Robert Skinner emigrated with all of his children (we think) except the oldest two (Mary Jane & Sarah Ann), who we presumed remained in England
