Hi Bill, I am sorry about not being more clear. I have been on this family for several days steady and I guess I think everyone should be too. :) I would like to find Rebecca (Short) SKINNER in the East before 1846. UNKNOWN SKINNER husband's name with her and the children all together. My pioneer book has her with two children for sure---Guilford L. Skinner b. 9-2-1842 and William b. 1844 in Green County, Indiana. When they got to Oregon for the 1850 census they both went by Cooper and then as adults appeared to be back to SKINNER. When she married Samuel Cooper in ILL. in 1846 they both had children and came by wagon train to Oregon. I would like to have the verification that these are her kids and if she had any more SKINNER'S before they were married and set off for the west. Of course, they had their own children after they arrived, so you can probably guess about the descrepancies on the information trail. Thanks so much for taking an interest. Best Wishes, Liz PS Don't hesitate to ask questions as I know this may be confusing.
