Eileen: Not distrusting your post, but having been born in 1774 and the Rev. War beginning in 1776 is a cut. Bob "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: Eileen Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 7:52 PM To: tnhawkin@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [TNHAWKIN] William Skelton Jeff, I to was going to ask about this William Skelton, since he is also in my family file, The birth date is 1774 and born in VA., married to a Mary Batchelder.
