Posted on: Jackson County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Jackson/12184 Surname: SKIDMORE, CUNNINGHAM ------------------------- I believe Isabel/Isabella Skidmore was the sister of my gg grandmother, Sarah Angelina Skidmore Reynolds. However, if she was, she changed her name or some official documents are wrong. According to some land records, Archibald Sloan Skidmore (b 1801 Botetourt Co, VA, d 1840 Jackson Co, VA) and Sarah Anderson (b 6/14/1800 Botetourt Co, d 6/18/1875 Jackson Co) had 8 children: Eleanore Ann, Martha Ann, Sarah Angelina, Elizabeth Lewis, Alexander Allen, Levina Elizabeth, and Archibald Stone. Isabell is found living with Martha in 1860, along with her 1 year old son, and their (?) mother, Sarah. I suppose she could be a cousin, but on the other hand, I have marriages for all of the other children except one of the Elizabeths. Not sure which since she is only called Elizabeth or "Bet". John House, in "Pioneers of Jackson County", says Marshall Cunningham was a boat carpenter and was drowned off a boat at Cincinnati. She died in Cincinnati a few years ago, aged 78. If you find her death record there, I'd appreciate knowing what it says! I have her as being born about 1833, so that means she would have died about 1910. House's notes don't extend much later than that.
