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."
