Barb, Mary's parent are James Skinner, January 18, 1783 in Lower Turkey Foot Township, Somerset, Pennsylvania, died May 27, 1834 and Hannah Couples May 03, 1785, in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, date of death unknown. Mary had at least one brother, Samuel Skinner, born 1808. Also, some one had mention that they though Mary was born in Indiana - this Mary was born in and died in Perry county. Though several of the Skinners and Lannings did move to Indiana, at a later date. James is the son of Samuel Skinner and Mary Drake, one of 9 children. The information on the Skinners is from Ethel Albin's book, which includes a great deal of information on both the Lannings and Skinner families. In addition, she has another book of letters, written between various branches of the family. If you are interested in contacting her, contact me off of the list.

I have Skinners in the area. Who are Mary's folks? All the Skinners from this era and place are all related I would guess. ??
