**Extracted:** 2026-05-26  
**Captured source files:** `5707/media/docs/skinner family geneology.com/GENE34-0001.html` through `GENE34-0029.html`  
**Original public source:** Stephanie A. Saxon, *Genealogy Report: Descendants of Thomas Skinner*, Genealogy.com / Family Tree Maker User Trees

## Research use and caution

This is a compiled genealogy with useful source citations and lengthy transcribed biographical material. It substantially expands the documented Skinner family network around Avery Skinner and identifies earlier generations. Facts that align with already preserved biographies, obituary material, cemetery records and local-history sources can support the public narrative. Conflicting ancestry or date claims are recorded below for further reconciliation rather than silently substituted into the public family tree.

## Direct paternal line reported in the genealogy

The Genealogy.com report identifies the paternal descent of **Avery Skinner** as:

1. **Thomas Skinner**¹
2. **Thomas Skinner**²
3. **John Skinner**³
4. **Ezra Skinner**⁴
5. **Timothy Skinner**⁵
6. **Timothy Skinner**⁶ (1761–1843), husband of Ruth Warner
7. **Avery Skinner**⁷ (1796–1876), father of Timothy Warner Skinner

This extends the currently displayed family story above Avery’s parents and provides a documented route back to the report’s earliest named Skinner ancestor.

### Children of Timothy Skinner and Ruth Warner reported in the genealogy

| Child | Life details reported | Regional relevance |
|---|---|---|
| **Warren Skinner** | 2 Jun 1791, Westmoreland, NH – 6 Oct 1874, Proctorsville, VT | Later described in Avery material as Rev. Warren Skinner of Vermont. |
| **Cynthia Ellen Skinner Walker** | 10 Sep 1792, Westmoreland, NH – 27 Feb 1872, Union Square, Oswego County, NY | Married Hiram Walker, 8 Jan 1829; established in the same Union Square/Maple View community as Avery. |
| **Alanson Skinner** | 21 May 1794, Westmoreland, NH – 7 Jun 1876, Brownville, NY | Already recognized in project research as Avery’s state-senator brother. |
| **Avery Skinner** | 9 Jun 1796, Westmoreland, NH – 24 Nov 1876, Union Square, Oswego County, NY | Direct ancestor of the house-associated Skinner line. |
| **Hiram Skinner** | 9 Jun 1798, Westmoreland, NH – 10 Oct 1865, Union Square, Oswego County, NY | Merchant; residence given as Mexico in the 1850 census; Avery officiated his marriage. |
| **Dolphus Skinner** | 18 May 1800 – 2 Oct 1869, Utica, NY | Identified in Avery material as a Universalist clergyman of Utica. |
| **Barton Skinner** | 19 Dec 1801 – 11 Feb 1865, Keene, NH | Collateral sibling branch. |

| **Dr. Albert Galatin Skinner** | 28 Jun 1807, Westmoreland, NH – 1891, Youngstown, Niagara County, NY | Identified as one of the two siblings surviving Avery in the biographical text. |

The report describes Avery as the fourth of nine children and says that only John L. Skinner and Dr. Albert G. Skinner survived him.

## Avery Skinner additions and corroboration

The genealogy’s Avery entry agrees broadly with the locally focused biography already used by this project and adds useful family detail:

- Born **9 Jun 1796** in Westmoreland, Cheshire County, New Hampshire.
- Died **24 Nov 1876** at Union Square, Oswego County, New York.
- Married **Elizabeth Lathrop Huntington** on **9 Jun 1822** at Watertown, Jefferson County, New York.
- Married **Charlotte Prior Stebbins** on **1 Sep 1834** at Watertown, Jefferson County, New York.
- Charlotte is identified as a daughter of **Rufus Stebbins** and **Charlotte Prior** and born **16 Apr 1802** at Enfield, Hartford County, Connecticut. The report's structured family entry gives her death as **29 Nov 1888** at Mexico, while obituary text copied into the same page describes her death as Tuesday, **4 Dec 1888**. The exact death date is unresolved within this source.
- The included biographical narrative states that Avery attended Chesterfield Academy, traveled to Watertown in 1816, settled at Union Square in 1823 and named the settlement; it reiterates his county, legislative, railroad, academy and Masonic associations already reflected in the public house history.

## Hiram Skinner branch newly useful to the regional story

The report provides a substantial collateral branch for Avery’s brother **Hiram Skinner**:

- Born **9 Jun 1798**, Westmoreland, Cheshire County, New Hampshire.
- Died **10 Oct 1865**, Union Square, Oswego County, New York.
- Married **Noralla Brusie** on **1 Jan 1831** at Union Square, later Maple View.
- The report states that the marriage was officiated by Hiram’s brother **Avery Skinner**.
- Occupation reported for 1860: merchant.
- Residence reported for 1850: Mexico, Oswego County, New York.
- Children listed: Edmund Skinner, Adolphus Skinner, Timothy Andrus Skinner, Charles Barton Skinner, William Henry Avery Skinner and Charlotte Ruth Skinner.

This detail strengthens the interpretation of the Skinners as an extended Mexico/Union Square regional family network rather than only a three-person house-associated line.

## Conflicts requiring reconciliation before changing the displayed ancestry

### Parents of Elizabeth Lathrop Huntington Skinner

- The currently preserved WikiTree-based trail identifies Elizabeth Lathrop Huntington Skinner’s parents as **Jedediah Huntington** and **Elizabeth Jones**.
- The Genealogy.com report identifies her as daughter of **Solomon Huntington** and **Amanda Jones**.

These parent sets conflict. The new report should therefore be shown as an unresolved genealogical conflict until primary or stronger derivative records determine the correct maternal ancestry.

### Death date of Elizabeth Lathrop Huntington Skinner

- The existing project family page currently records her death as **15 Jul 1833**.
- The Genealogy.com report records her death as **16 Jul 1833** in Union Square, Oswego County, New York, citing Fort Oswego DAR marriage/death-notice material and an Oswego Palladium extract trail.

This one-day discrepancy should remain flagged until the cited newspaper/DAR extraction is directly reviewed.

### Death date of Charlotte Prior Stebbins Skinner

- The Genealogy.com structured family entry reports her death as **29 Nov 1888** at Mexico, Oswego County, New York.
- An obituary transcription embedded in the same Genealogy.com page describes her death as occurring on Tuesday, **4 Dec 1888**.

This is an internal discrepancy within the newly captured source and should remain unresolved until the newspaper obituary or a primary death/burial record is reviewed directly.

## Endnotes and supporting-source leads preserved in `GENE34-0029.html`

For the house-connected branch, the captured report cites or names the following useful supporting sources:

- Mary Lindsay Skinner (1873–1962), handwritten family record begun in 1913.
- *New York Times*, “Judge Avery Skinner,” obituary, 27 Nov 1876, p. 8, col. 4.
- Fort Oswego Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, *Marriage and Death Notices, Oswego Co., N.Y. 1833–1835*.
- Oswego Palladium marriage/death extracts compiled for the Syracuse Public Library by the Fort Oswego DAR chapter in 1940.
- Records of Appointments of Postmasters, 1832–1971, National Archives microfilm roll 89.
- John C. Churchill, *History of Mexico, New York — Landmarks of Oswego County* (1895).
- 1850 and 1860 United States federal census references for collateral branches.
- DAR Patriot Index and Patricia Law Hatcher, *Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots*, for Timothy Skinner’s Revolutionary War attribution.

## Public-site integration recommendations

- Add a public Family Origins page extending Avery’s paternal family line through Timothy Skinner and Ruth Warner and listing their nine children.
- Add Hiram Skinner’s Union Square/Mexico connection as a newly documented collateral branch.
- List the captured Genealogy.com report in public research resources as a reviewed compiled genealogy, with appropriate caution.
- Do **not** replace the existing displayed Huntington maternal parent line until the conflict between the Genealogy.com and WikiTree trails is resolved.
