Hello- I am searching for the parents of my ancestor Israel H. Skinner. Skinner, Israel Howell b. 1/23/1809 NJ, d. 8/3/1887 IL, m. Pollyann Dickson (Daughter of George and Euphania Dickson) 10/18/1832 Meadville, PA. Siblings include Eliza Skinner b. 1798 NJ m. Aaron Fox Reuben Skinner b. 10/15/1801 NJ m. Jane Dickson(Daughter of George and Euphania Dickson) John Skinner b. 8/22/1806 NJ m. Sally Fox Jesse, Mary, Cornelius and unknown female. Israel H. Skinner was born in New Jersey, then moved to PA and Ohio with his family and later settled in Sandwich, Illinois in 1844. He is listed as living in Meadville, Crawford, PA in 1830 and 1840. There is a Cornelius Skinner living in Crawford County in 1830 with his family. No evidence proves this is our Cornelius. There is also a John Skinner born abt. 1760-1770 that we suspect might be our link. No evidence proves this either. His parents are unknown and any information about Israel, his siblings or his parents would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help. Ingrid Skinner skinner@busynet.net
