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.

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).

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.
