Her mother was Anna SKINNER, only daughter of Richard SKINNER and wife, Sarah BRITTAIN. This connection permits the descendants to attach a third bar to the membership badge, if one were seeking entrance to the Daughters of the American Revolution. The War record of Richard Skinner follows, which is but a copy of the certified title. This is available to any descendant who wishes it. A letter, in connection with this affidavit, gives a bit of additional history, which is interesting. It is quoted, in full: STATE OF NEW JERSEY OFFICE OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL Trenton, April 25, 1927 Mrs. Frank H. Lindsay 389 Lake Dr. Milwaukee, Wis. Dear Madam: In compliance with your recent request, I am enclosing a certification fro the Revolutionary War Record of Captain Richard Skinner, in which is incorporated all available information. Nathaniel Heard was the first Colonel of the First Regiment, Middlesex County Militia, but while he was serving with the State Troops and after his promotion to Brigadier General, New Jersey Militia, and prior to the election of his successor, the regiment was probably commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Micajah Dunn and later by Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Deare. Colonel John Webster succeeded to the command on April 18, 1778, serving until the close of the war. The officerÕs original signature appears on a petition concerning the election of Colonel Webster, and other, dated Middlesex County, March, 1778. The third letter of the surname bay be read as ÒeÓ because of blur, but the letter is probably an ÒiÓ although it is not dotted. However it is certainly not made like the second ÒeÓ in the name, which is believed to be ÒSkinner.Ó As matter of additional information, the whole amount paid to Mrs. Baker as the widow of Captain Skinner was L392:0:0. Very truly yours, Frederick Gilkyson, The Adjutant General
