Chuck, I have a copy of the will of Nathan Skinner. I have also been to his grave located in the Mt Zion Cemetery in Stewart County. According to his stone, he was born Jan 29, 1779 and died Oct 26, 1846. He was married three times. First, Marcy unknown. They were divorced in 1827 in Stewart County. Second, Marina Unknown. The last two children are hers. She was born Oct 3, 1805 and died Dec 19, 1845 and is buried next to him. His last wife, Elizabeth Unknown Bruton out lived him. In his will, he mentions his daughter, Penina, wife of John Fletcher!
