Nathan: Another great post. Thanks. Are you interested in being a Charter Member of the State of Franklin TNSSAR Chapter. Is once in a lifetime opportunity. Bob Hughes, Past Pres.TNSSAR. "Do not go where the path may lead; Go where there is no path and leave a trail"---Emerson Opportunities never come to those who wait...they are captured by those who dare to attack. There are 2 kinds of people, those that do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the 1st group, there is less competition there. -----Original Message----- From: Pastor Nathan Riley Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 6:37 PM To: TNHAWKIN@rootsweb.com Subject: [TNHAWKIN] William Skelton Do any of you have more than this on William Skelton? William is my 5th great grandfather. "Distant Crossroads", a publication of the Hawkins County Genealogical Society, lists William Skelton as a Revolutionary War Soldier of Hawkins County Tennessee "William Skelton b. 4 Mar 1762 VA served in VA age 72 1832 pension list. On 1840 Hawkins Co. TN census" (No. S-3915). (Distant Crossroads, April 1986, p. 36) "William: b 3-4-1762 VA d a (ante...before) 3-4-1844 TN m X (unknown) Pvt VA PNSR (soldier pensioned)" (DAR Patriot Index - Centennial Edition, Part 3, 1990) He was yet living at 71 years of age when on 27th of May 1833 he applied for a pension for his Revolutionary War service. I quote T. Bailey, "He volunteered in the army, or service of the United States, under the immediate command of Captain Samuel Coleman in the County of Caroline and State of Virginia, on about the last of April or first of May 1779."
