Chuck and Listers, Do you have your interpretation of this in a family tree format? Why do you refer to Marina as the Trophy Wife? There must be a story, I'm sure. I recall and I am not sure when a conversation about another wife, perhaps a Nancy Prat married about 1803. Did I get that mixed up? You said, "In his will, he mentions his daughter, Penina, wife of John Fletcher--" and she m. him after Henry Duncan. Penina m. 3 times; Etheridge, Duncan and Fletcher. Okay, I've got this real mixed up. Take a look at this in my family tree: 1. Penina2 Skinner (Nathan1) was born in ?. She married (1) David T. Etheridge Abt. 1805. He died Bef. February 07, 1825. She married (2) Henry Duncan Bet. February 07, 1825 - December 07, 1827. She married (3) John Fletcher Aft. 1827 - *****If she married Fletcher lastly, I used a date after her marriage to Duncan.**** Children of Penina Skinner and David Etheridge are: Married about 1805. 2 i. Elizabeth3 Etheridge. She married Jonathan Skinner Bef. February 07, 1825. 3 ii. Margaret 'Peggy' Etheridge. She married James Thomas Bef. December 07, 1827. 4 iii. Mary 'Polly' Etheridge. 5 iv. William T. Etheridge, born 1805. 6 v. John Etheridge, born 1818; died 1870. He married Mary E. Dennis; born Abt. 1820 in TN. 7 vi. Martha 'Patsy' Etheridge, born 1818; died 1911. She married Abraham Phillips, Jr. Bet. 1835 - February 06 1837; born 1816 in TN, killed by guerillas; died 1864 in Stewart Co., Standing Rock Creek TN. 8 vii. Sarah 'Sally' Etheridge, born 1823 in Davidson County, TN; died 1889. She married Peyton Thomas December 02, 1841; born April 06, 1820 in Trigg County, KY; died 1891. Children of Penina Skinner and John Fletcher are: If she married Fletcher after 1827, then why are the children's births before this date? Where have I gone wrong??????? 9 i.
