    1. [INOWEN] Melvena SKINNER b. ca1851KY
    2. My elusive SKINNER sibling......I can't find Melvena SKINNER b. ca1849-51 after the 1880 census. Melvena SKINNER was born Garrard Co.KY most likely. As I first found her listed with her parents: Clark SKINNER b. 1794 KY and Lucinda "Susanna" unknown b. ca1812-20 KY. on the 1850 Garrard Co.KY census....she was the youngest of their 9 children.....then I found her on the 1860 census in Greene Co.IN in Beech Creek Twp. living with her widowed mother "Susanna" and some of the other children. She was not living with her Mother and brother on the 1870 census in Beech Creek Twp. Next time I found her she was living with her brother David J. SKINNER and wife Hamey Loruh LIVINGSTON in Clay Twp. Owen Co.IN. on the 1880 census and after that I can find no trace of her. Does anyone know what happened to Melvena SKINNER who was unmarried in 1880 and 29 years old according to the census records? Some records show her middle initial to be F. I'm open for any suggestions.....I have checked cemetery listings in Owen Co. and marriages none found. Thanks, N.J.Skinner White in MI.
