Hi, When you get the time I am researching SKINNER. Nancy Washington Twp., Mi.
Nancy, 1. In the marriage records, there is Thomas Skinner and Mary Connakin, 01-19-1747/8 an William Skinner and Ruth Tanner, 05-14-1744.2. 2. In the Will abstracts is the following: Richard Skinner, Gentleman, 24 oct. 1745. 20 May 1746 sons Andrew and Richard all lands lying between St. Michaels Ricer called The Bear Point Creek otherwise called Leeds Creek; son Andrew land to southwest side Northern line; other to son Richard. son Daniel land called Adventure in Dorchester Co. south side Great Choptank River. Dau. Mary and Dau. Elizabeth 1 negro over and above child's part of estate. Wife Katherine shall enjoy all lands given to 3 sons; Andrew, Richard and Daniel until age 21. Wife sole executrix. Signed: Richard Skinner. Witnesses: Jo. Hopkins, Robert Spencer, Elizabeth Hopkins, and Mary Spencer. Source: Wills. Liber 24. ff. 390/1. 3. In the index to wills, the following are listed: Andrew Skinner (liber/folio) 14-557, date 1717, Elizabeth Skinner, Jr. (liber/folio) 29-498, date 1755, Richard Skinner (liber/folio) 24-390, date 1746 (I believe this is probably a reference to the will abstracted above), Thomas Skinner (liber/folio) 36-474, date 1768, William Skinner, Jr. (liber/folio) 23-313, date1743, and William Skinner (liber/folio) 29-197, date 1754. Hope something here helps. Incidentally, this Daniel Skinner above, given the land in Dorchester County, may actually be a descendant of my husband's family. As someone stated on some list, it certainly can be a small world!!!
