Writing of Will

The Last Will and Testament of Hezekiah Skinner

The Last Will and Testament of Hezekiah Skinner from Will Book T in Scott County, Kentucky. With the exception of a request that perishable property be sold to cover just debts, Hezekiah left all of his property to his wife while she lived and afterwards desired that the land and belongings be divided equally among his five daughters. One special case was that, if she so desired, his oldest daughter was to have his homestead if she would relinquish the home and land where she then lived and if that land were added back to the total estate to be divided equally among the five daughters.

About William J. Skinner

Disputed parents

There is no evidence that Joseph is in fact William 's father.[2]

William Skinners' name first appeared in the Kentucky record book in Harrison County, KY in the year 1804. At this time he purchased 100 acres of land from William Jewett in Raven Creek area. (Deed Book 1 Page 814). In 1817 he bought another 100 acres of land also from William Jewett.

Then in 1830 a deed was made where William Skinner and wife Milly then from the county of Decatur in the state of Indiana had sold both tracts of land in Harrison County, KY to a man from Jennings County, Indiana by the name of John Fear.

William and Milly bought land in Decatur County, Indiana on September 16, 1830 from Thomas Hanna Sr. He purchased eighty acres of land in the district of Brookville for two hundred dollars. This was found in Deed Book B, page 500.

In August 1854 William and Milly sold their land to George W. Sidener for the amount of $3,000.00 (Deed Book V Page 397).

William and Milly then traveled north to Clinton County, Indiana and bought land in Michigan Township (east edge of Clinton County). They spent their last days here and were buried in Layton Cemetery.

He passed away in 1856. [3]

He died on January 26, 1798 in Perquimans County, North Carolina. He was buried at the General Williams Skinner cemetery in the Yeopim section of Perquimans County, on a farm four or five miles from the town of Hertford.

Lt. Colonel served in the Perquimans County Regiment of the North Carolina militia (1775-1777), He was appointed on September 9, 1775 by the North Carolina Provincial Congress. He was with this regiment at the Battle of Great Bridge, Virginia on December 9, 1775.

Brigadier General over the Edenton District Brigade of the North Carolina militia (1777-1779), The North Carolina General Assembly appointed him on December 20, 1777 to replace Brigadier General Edward Vail, Sr., who had died in June 1777. General Skinner resigned his commission on May 9, 1779.

His statement about why he resigned his commission was "As my experience in military matters is very small, my continuing in that office might, perhaps, be a public injury, as well as fatal to those whose lives might in a manner depend on my conduct. For these reasons I take the liberty at this time of resigning that appointment which I heretofore with reluctance accepted.
