Sometime after 1810 the family removed to Susquehanna Co., PA, (then Luserne Co.) where they located on a farm adjoining Jacob Skinner's in Oakland Twp. Here is where Dr. Israel Skinner practiced medicine and raised a large family. He is mentioned as an author and practicing physician (1814) in Blackman's Susquehanna Co., History. Israel's farm is said to have been a one time residence of (Mormon) Joseph Smith.

Notes for WILLIAM THOMPSON SKINNER:

There is land records for Jefferson Co., WI that  William T.Skinner purchased 40 acres of land March 1, 1950. Record of this land is in the William T. Skinner file. Unknown at this time if it was purchased by William T. Skinner but William T. Skinner did sell some land to Jacob Skinner in 1856.

 

There is also  40 acres purchased by a William Skinner on September 1. 1848. Unsure if this is the same William Skinner because there is no middle initial of "T" but a copy is in William T. Skinner's file.

 

In 1850 census, WI, Jefferson Co., Palmyra Twp, page 174; William T. Skinner age 24, farmer, property value 22, born PA, Patty, female age 64 or 69 born NY, Anna C. female age 22, born PA

Sewall of the County of Jefferson in the presence of Widow Sewall, her mother and Helen Dewall at her nother's residence in the village of Palmyra in the County of Jefferson.  H. T. Lothrop, minister.   I do not know if this is the same William Skinner but the residence at that time is the same. I am putting in the history for now til I find more information on it to prove one way or the other. In all records I never see this one listed as William T.

The declaration for Widows Pension for Sarah Jane Skinner following the death of William T. Skinner, and dated March 30, 1898, In the State of Wisconsin, County-Juneau, states that Sarah Jane Skinner appeared before the notary public ,stating that she was age 62, a resident of the Town of Plymouth, in Juneau Co., WI and that she was the widow of William T. Skinner who enlisted under the name of William T. Skinner on the 21st day of April 1861 in Company A of the first regiment ,Wisconsin H. A. Volunteers, and served at least 90 days in the War of the Rebellion, in the service of the United States, who was HONORABLY DISCHARGED  on the 12 day of December 1862 and died the 28th day of March 1898. That she was married under the name of Sarah Jane Bassett, to said William T. Skinner on the 10th day of June 1862 by-----, at Philadelphia, PA, there being no legal barrier to said marriagae.  She has not remarried since the death of said William T.

In one page it states that he was missing in action at Bull Run  and was in the hospital at, and it states that he had deserted, but the charge of desertion of August 20, 1862 is now void. This is mentioned int he War Department Adjutant General Office, Washington , August 14, 1886. He was discharged December 12, 1862 on surgeons certificate of disability-it appears he was disabled from a arthiritis. It appears that he had not really desserted but it was assumed and he had been in the hospital ill and the charge was voided out.

 

His certificate of discharge from the Army of the US, Certificate of Disability for discarge  states that he was born in Susquehanna Co., PA and is at the time of discharge date, age 35, five feet and 7 1/2 inches tall light complexion, blue eyes and light hair and when he enlisted his occupation was a butcher.

In 1905 WI state census, Juneau Co., Plymoth Twp., page ?; Sarah J. is age 70 widowed , born Ohio, and parents born Ohio, she is living with her son Charles H. Skinner.

 

The Elroy Tribune dated march 24, 1910 had the following death notice for Sarah Jane Skinner;    Mrs. Sarah Skinner who's health has been failing during the past year, died at her home Monday, March 21, at the age of 75. Her sons, Frank, Roy and Herman from Northern Wisconsin and a daughter, Mrs. Greek from Millston came down to the funeral, which was held on Wednesday.

 

 

In the paper also about the same time was a news item that Mrs. Hattie Smith  and cousin of Wausau are visiting in the home of her Uncle Charles Skinner.

1905 WI state census it states that Sarah was born in OH as was born parents. She is older at this time and lives with her son Charles. Charles may have given the information and then again Sarah may have given it and her mind may not have been clear.

 

She may be a descendant of the Basset's in England who I have found information in Rootsweb Genealgoy web site. I have not found Sarah Jane or her father but have found a James m. born 1522, then son(?) John Basset (one t ) born Tehidy, Cornwall, England and died 1-31-1527 or 28. John Basset married Honor Grenville Viscountess Lisp, born 1476, Kilhampton, Cornwell, England.  This information may not be part of Sarah Jane's Basset's family but am holding it here until further information is found.

Notes for FRANKLIN L. SKINNER:

  THIS IS ONLY THE INFORMATION THAT HAS APPEARED IN OBITUARIES AND OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS AND I HAVE PRINTED JUST WHAT THERE PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN. I DID NOT PUT MY OPINION IN THIS AT ALL.    IT IS CONFUSING AND THERE IS NO WAY THERE WILL BE A CLEAR CUT ANSWER . I HAVE HAD SOMEONE SEARCH MADISON VITAL RECORDS AND THEY HAVE FOUND NO MARRIAGE OF FRANK SKINNER AND GRACE THOMPSON.

 

 

I put Frank Skinner listed with wife Grace Thompson as was stated in different documents and news items in paper but I have found nothing in concrete evidence that shows that he was actually married to her. All family confirms that fact that he never married.

 

In the 1914 city directory for Wausau, Marathon Co., WI it shows Frank Skinner as a laborer living at: house on Thomas-S E corner 11th Ave. South. He lives in the same house as Hattie Greek lives (His niece).

 

In the 1916 city directory of Wausau, Marathon Co., WI, it shows F. L. Skinner at Route 6 Wausau.

 

In the 1918 city directory for Wausau, it shows Franklin L. Skinner, laborer living at 1015 Thomas.  Also living in the same home is Julius and Hattie Manthei, and Julius is listed as laborer and Julius is the owner of the house and Frank Skinner is shown as renter at 1015 Thomas.

 

In 1920 census,WI, Marathon Co., Wausau city 12 Ave.,ED 50 page 2; Frank Skinner is Ed'd  with Julius Manthei and is listed as Uncle. (The Uncle of Julius's wife, Hattie.)

 

Wrights Wausau City and Marathon County Directoy for 1925, page 775 shows Frank Skinner owning 80 acres in section 20 with an assessed value of $1250.

 

In some records it states that Frank Skinner was married to a Grace Thompson on the date mentioned on the family page and that they were the parents of Bessie Maude Skinner, (who's real mother was Hattie Bates). It is unknown if that is true or not or if Frank took the responsibility of Bessie to protect her from her real father who was supposedly a drunk and Hattie did not want George Smith, Bessie's father to find her. It appears that Frank was not married to a Grace Thompson but a story that him and Hattie kept to protect the child. On his tombstone it states FATHER  born 1878 and died 1933. 

 

The death certificate of Franklin Skinner which is located in the Marathon Co., WI courthouse at Wausau WI, states the following information from Volume 42 page 355:  Franklin L. Skinner, died August 21, 1933 at 2 P.M. in Town of Maine-Marathon Co. Age at death: 55 years 2 months and 22 days. Date of Birth; May 30, 1978 at Elroy, WI. Informant was Mrs. Julius Manthei of Wausau.   Burial at Pine Grove Cem., on August 23, 1933, cause of death: rupture of Aneurysm of Aorta, contributing cause of death was Myocarditis, confirmed by X-ray, Doctor; H. C. Frenzel, Wausau, WI, Widower of Grace Skinner. ( An added note that was sent to me by Lillian Zenner in 1995 stated: It showed Frank's address as 1101 So. 11th Ave. and his place of death as Town of Maine. We checked the Death Index for Grace Skinner and Grace Thompson and found no death record for her in this county for those years. On his death record his year of birth is 1878 which is the same as was put on his gravestone.)

 

The funeral notice for Frank Skinner appeared in the Wausau Daily Record Hearld, Wedensday, August 23, 1933, page 4:  SKINNER FUNERAL   Funeral services for Frank Skinner of the town of Maine, who died here Monday at the home of his niece, Mrs. Julius Manthei, 1101 South 11th Ave, were held this afternoon at the Manthei residence. The Rev. E. C Grauer officaiting. Burial was in Pine Grove Cem. The obituary had about the same thing but it did add that he was born May 30, 1878 in Elroy. He was married to Grace Thompson 25 years ago in Kilbourn, who died a later. For twenty years the deceased had resided in the town of Maint. Mr. Skinner is survived by one granddaughter, Lillian Schwantes of Schofield, 6 brothers, Charles Skinner of Mauston, Elias Skinner and Oliver Skinner of Elroy, Roy Skinner and Herman Skinner of Eagle River and Arthur Skinner of Duluth  and one sister , Mrs. Amanda Greek of Eagle River.

Flames kept him from entering the rear door and as Robin rushed around to the front, he spotted Skinner, in the flames, just emerging. heat again kept Robin from getting close so he ran home for a blanket.  Returning to the fire, the youth was aided by Fred Davis, who happened to be passing by at the time. In dragging Skinner away, Skinner with only shirt collar and cuffs remaining of his clothing, was pronounced dead at the scene by Dr. C. N. Verteeg. He body was taken to Hull and Hull funeral Home.  List of survivors in news article, which I won't add.    He was born February 1, 1876 at Mauston, WI and lived in the Selma area since ---??, only recently moving to Rockydale Road to be near his granddaughter and daughter in law.  Burial will be at Laurel Cem.
