BiographyCarole Pyles: The genealogy complied by Robert Skelton 20/30 years ago. It said Maria's husband, Luther, disappeared, William W. Skelton then married her and they had children, next out of the blue, Luther reappeared and Maria rejoined him leaving William out. According to a yesterday's e-mail, William and Maria were divorced. In 1879, he remarried. When Maria died in 1906, William's sister, Susanna, did not want Maria to be buried in the family lot. Besides the divorce, an unstated reason was Maria was Indian. She was buried next to William, but had no marker until 1991 when her grandchildren bought a stone to mark her grave.

Had rheumatism and used opium to relieve pain.

He married Maria Ann Houghton Luther in 1853 and in Oct. 1854 bought land in Section three, William's Twp, Bay Co., MI. He was the first settler in the wilderness of the township named for him. The farm near Auburn, 2 miles north of the Midland road,on the east side of the Fisherville Road. On Jan. 9 1855, after he cut a sled road through 10 miles of woods and swamps, he built a cabin. He and Maria had six children. He left his wife and family and married Mrs. Ann Eliza Catlin of Bay City in 1879, which appears to be when Maria's first husban returned "from the dead". William died by asphyxiation in a root cellar while cutting up mangelworzels for cow fodder on Jan. 29, 1883, at the age of 59 years and 10 days. He had a bucket of buring coals with him for warmth, which caused the axphyxiation.2
