Line 3488 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: @@NI443@@ NOTE
Line 3489 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC John Skinner is, at this time, the farthest ancestor that I can
Line 3490 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC prove in our tree. I believe he was the son of Alixander Skinner. He
Line 3491 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC was the second son to be named that name, as the first son passed away
Line 3492 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC soon after birth (reusing a name was very common in those days of high
Line 3493 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC infant mortality). Anyway he lived in a rural parish called
Line 3494 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC Chittlehampton in the county of Devon in Western England.
Line 3495 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONT In the year of his birth England was at war with Spain in the War of
Line 3496 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC Jenkins Ear. England was in virtually a constant state of war for most
Line 3497 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC of his life. However, it will never really touch life in rural Devon.
Line 3498 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONT In 1762 John married a girl by the name of Ann Westacott. And not
Line 3499 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC long after, 5 months to be exact, they had the birth of their first
Line 3500 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC child. They continued to have children but most of them died until
Line 3501 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC Thomas was born and survived.
Line 3502 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONT John was what was called a yeoman. One of the group of middle class
Line 3503 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC farmers that formed the backbone of England. Since the restoration of
Line 3504 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC Charles the II most land had been bought from these yeoman, or
Line 3505 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC independent farmers, and formed into large estates of the nobility. The
Line 3506 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC nobility would build a large manor house on one piece of land and then
Line 3507 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC rent out the rest to various "tennants" or yeoman farmers. By the 1780's
Line 3508 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC John was renting an estate called Hobb's Bradbury. The owner, or
Line 3509 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC landlord, of this property was Sir Hugh the Earl of Fortescue.
Line 3510 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONT John lived the rest of his life on this farm. In his later years
Line 3511 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC his son Thomas assumed more and more of the duties until John passed away
Line 3512 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC in late 1808. In March of 1809 Thomas Skinner settled John's will for a
Line 3513 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: CONC sum of a little under 300 British Pounds.
