Benjamin Brush was an uncle, the brother of Charles' mother. There is a family tradition that Charles Skinner had owned property in Chicago but that a fire destroyed the proof of his ownership. The documents had been in a safe. The story goes that the papers were destroyed when the safe was openned even though sev ad died in August of 1867. His widow, Matilda D. stilled lived on the north border of the town with her children.) It is possible the "papers" of the family tradition could have been destroyed in this fire. It should be remembered that Leland is very near to Chicago, and that Abraham Skinner had started a store in Leland. One can easily imagine that property "near Chicago" could over the course of time became "Chicago."
