Hi Brenda, You are in for a real treat when you are researching the Skippers! lol! I too, am researching my mother's family (Skippers) in Horry County. The biggest problem I have run into with my Skippers is the fact that there seem to be two separate groups of Skippers from that area. My Skipper was actually a Sheffield before he married an Indian girl in 1820. He was disowned by the Sheffield family and changed his name to Skipper. I know that this Skipper and his wife had 7 boys and 1 girl and I suspect that this is where the Native American blood got into the family. I only have information on my ggg-grandfather but I suspect that your Arthur may have been his brother. I would be glad to send you what I have on this family if you like and you might can figure it out someday. If you ever do, please share!!!!! Hahaha!
