Notes

!E95.0501.02 SKU 12(2):44 Esley, Nancy fgs 29701 Perch Lake Rd, Evans Mills, NY 13637 .07: SKINNER STREET; from: Vignettes of Sandwich by: Clarence A. McCarthy Along about 1790 Jedediah (1765-1844) and Sarah (1765-1840) Skinner came from Connecticut and settled in North Sandwich. Two of their sons, Elijah (1786-1861) and Clark (1806-1830) set up separate stores in North Sandwich. Within a few years Elijah moved his store to the Centre (as it was then spelled). Clark continued to keep store in North Sandwich until he was drowned fording the Mad River in Thornton in 1830. At about this time the community began calling North Sandwich Skinneršs Corner. Tradition says this name caught on as a spontaneous show of sympathy for Clarkšs grieving wife. As late as 1926 The Seventh Annual Excursion of the Sandwich Historical Society mentions that people in the neighborhood continued to refer to North Sandwich as Skinneršs Corners, often shortened to The Corners.
