Notes:

“Sarah and Charles Skinner went to Maugerville, N.B. just before the Loyalists, and it is assumed they might have gotten a good price for their land and moved to Bass River, N.S., where Charles was a school teacher. They stayed there about five years before moving to Kings County. The school records in Bass River were burned in a fire.” (Source: Isabel Palmeter) This would suggest that the family came to Cornwallis Township just prior to the influx of Loyalists.

Charles Skinner was a grantee at Cornwallis township, that he was born 3 Jan 1748 in Colchester, Connecticut, son of Aaron Skinner. He married 24 Nov 1774 at Passamaquoddy, Sarah, daughter of Samuel and Sarah Osborn, perhaps from Martha’s Vinyard. She lists 15 children, including my Ann Skinner, who married 1802 Thomas Lyons. (Source: Esther Clark Wright in “Planters and Pioneers”)

The Skinners first came to Passamaquoddy, Campobello or Indian Island (all in Passamaquoddy Bay in Charlotte, New Brunswick), where Charles might have taught school from 1774 to 1778. They moved to St. John and Maugerville in 1778 where he taught school until 1780. The arrival of the Loyalists may have provided financial incentive to sell their lands profitably. They moved to Five Islands, Cumberland, N.S. (but I think then all part of Cornwallis Township) where the family lived for the first five years, before they settled in 1785 at Little Pereau, near Blomidon, in the Cornwallis area of present day Kings County. (Source: Rev. Davison in his book “Alice of Grand-Pré”)

Charles Skinner was a school teacher by profession, and one reference said he was a “refined gentleman”.

The father of Samuel Skinner (i.e., Charles Skinner) came from New England to the Maritimes just before the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. (Source: The book “Biographical Review… Province of New Brunswick” published in Boston in 1900 page 97)

“Died 15 January 1848 in Cornwallis, Mrs. Sarah Skinner in 88th year, daughter of the late Samuel Osborne of Martha’s Vineyard, U.S. They removed to Casco, Maine, to New Brunswick, then to Nova Scotia. Born 22 July 1760, married in NB at age 16 to Charles Skinner, native of Connecticut. Leaves 8 sons, 7 daughters, 113 grandchildren, 60 great-grandchildren. Late W. A. Chipman was a brother-in-law. Edward Manning and George Dimock sons-in-law. Rev. I. E. Bill married a granddaughter.” (Source: The Christian Messenger an early Baptist magazine).

Notes:

From Fifty Years with the Baptist Ministers and Churches of the Maritime Provinces (by. Rev. I. E. Bill), p. 403:

   Joseph C. SKINNER was born at Parrsboro, N.S., in the year 1800, and was early instructed by his godly mother, the late Mrs. Sarah Skinner, in the principles and obligations of the Christian faith. When about twenty years of age he professed religion, and was baptized by the late Edward Manning. He was then regarded as a young man of more than ordinary promise. He removed to New Brunswick in 1825, and feeling a deep interest in the progress of education, he devoted several years of his life to the instruction of the young. In 1836 he was ordained to the pastorate of what was then designated the First Wickham Church. He faithfully fulfilled the duties of his office for many years; and although his pastoral connection nominally ceased some time prior to his death, yet virtually he continued to preside over these people and to watch for their souls as one that must give an account, until removed to join the Church triumphant in the heaves. He departed this life in the sixty-first year of his age, March 23, 1860, in full assurance of the faith he had so long proclaimed as the only ground of the sinner’s hope. He was interred in the churchyard surronding the house in which he was ordained, in the presence of a large concourse of people. Rev. David Crandall preached his funeral sermon from 2 Timothy, 4: 7, 8; “I have fought the good fight”, etc.
 Our departed Brother Skinner stood pre-eminent among his brethren as wise in counsel, evangelical in doctrine, an spotless in life. It was his happiness to witness several interesting revivals of religion during his pastorate, and to induct many valuable members in to the fellowship of the Church; and though his labours on earth have terminated, yet the instructions which he gave, his meek and pure example, and the composure and confidence with which he passed through the valley of death, will continue to give forth utterances distinct and solemn, calling upon the people of Cambridge to “Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end ot that man in peace.”

“The Early Baptist of Cambridge Parish, Queens, New Brunswick”, by Ruby Cusack

   With Christmas being only four days away, Cliff and I were getting more and more excited by the hour. Mum had made the fruit cakes well in advance. The shelves in the back pantry were lined with tin containers filled with all sorts of cakes, squares, cookies and pies. I was so tempted to sneak in there for a feed of honey bars but I didn’t want to get in trouble at this time of the year.
 Gord had spent several hours searching the upper pasture for the perfectly shaped fir tree and now it was leaning against the wall in the livingroom. Dad and Gramp took on the task of nailing the board to the bottom, then turning it round and round to find the best side before anchoring it to the window casing with heavy twine. While they were doing this, the rest of us set to work with darn needles and heavy thread to string the coloured popcorn.
 In no time at all, the adults began to chat about the traditions of the Christmases of the past and the church services they had attended as youngsters, which led into a long discussion concerning the members of the families who gathered to worship in the communities where they grew up.
 In 1941, the Reverend Walter R. Greenwood felt that the Church’s traditions were the most valuable possession and should be carefully preserved. It was this thought that prompted his writing of “The Early Baptist of Cambridge Parish, Queens, New Brunswick”. And in so doing he provided information on the members of many families.
 Chapter one deals with the church at Jemseg. The first family being the Wades who migrated in the mid 1800’s to Ontario but was still represented in the community through relationship with Percy McLean.
 Among the names of the Charter member on the rolls of the Waterborough Church are,
– Elijah Estabrooks (Teaching Elder),
– Joseph Estabrooks (Deacon), Ebenezer Estabrooks and John Estabrooks. These are all sons of Sergeant Elijah Estabrooks from whom all the Estabrooks on the St. John River are descended.
– The Rev. Francis Pickle was sent by the Domestic Missionary Society to labor on Grand Lake. There were twelve baptized under his ministry at Cumberland Bay in February and March of 1827.
– David Chase, who was a brother of Rev. Skinner’s wife, pursued his ministry successfully for seven years until, as a young man of thirty-six died of tuberculosis. Three months later his wife Jane died of the same disease.
– William Springer, the Loyalist, who came from Wilmington, Delaware married Sarah Thurston,
– Margaret, the daughter of Squire John Robertson, was the wife of George Wilson and moved to Salmon River.
– John J. Camp was a grandson of Abiathar Camp, the Loyalist.
 The Birthday of the Mill Cove Church could be considered as being on the 26th of June 1825 for it was then that John Branscomb, Ann McLean, Ann Elsworth and Mary Ferris were baptized. John Branscomb was the son of Arthur Branscomb and married Mary Wiggins. Ann McLean married David McIntosh and lived in Mill Cove. Ann Elsworth was a daughter of William Elsworth. Her brother, Hanford, married Sarah Ferris, a daughter of George Ferris, the Loyalist. Mary Ferris was a daughter of John and Mary Ferris. The upper storey of their stone house was used to hold church services.
– William Sharp, Eliza Clark, Jeremiah Oakley, Lucy Gidney and Mrs. David Nevers were the first mentioned of Baptist people living at Lower Jemseg and vicinity as found in the records of Canning Baptist Church during the years 1830-1833.

– In 1836 Joseph C. Skinner, who had come to the community as a teacher in 1833, became the first resident pastor of the church at MacDonald’s Corner. His ministry here lasted until his death in 1860. Elder Skinner was not a robust man but he and his wife were persons of superior mentality. Of their family, five sons became medical doctors in the United States. One of the daughters, Betsy Ann, married Amos Straight and another daughter married Robert Coes.
 Biographical information is provided on the forty-one names that were listed on the roll in 1840. One of the clerks and later made a deacon in 1843, at the MacDonald’s Corner Church was Anthony Flower, who was born in 1792 at Old Gravel Lane, Radclife Highway, London, England. As a young boy he attended the Royal Academy School and was a roommate with Joseph William Turner who became one of the leading landscapes painters of all times. His wife, Mary, was the daughter of James Green. I might add, that today, Anthony Flower is a well known New Brunswick artist. His home has been moved to the village of Cambridge-Narrows. It will be restored to appear as it did during Flower’s life and will be opened in 2005 as a House Museum, dedicated to the life and times of Anthony Flower.
– Rebecca Carpenter, the daughter of Ephraim and Ann Carpenter, married Richard Ryder and lived her married life in Saint John.
 In the evening of December 5th, 1839, a meeting was held at Mr. James Hendry’s to organize a church to be called the second Baptist Church of Wickham. This entry was found in the church records concerning the beginnings of organized church life at Lower Cambridge. The author states that in 1825, thirteen people met in Alexander B. MacDonald’s barn and were duly constituted into the First Baptist Church in Wickham.
 A Baptist Church was organized at Cambridge in the Meeting House near Mr. Amos S. Corey’s on November 5th, 1855... in all 21 members coming into the church fellowship as a distinct church. In 1856 twenty-eight were added to the church. Surnames of the members of this church include, Corey, Hetherington, Cottle, Wilson, Hughes, Belyea, Dykeman, Blizard, Akerley, Robertson, Black, White, Chase, Little, Wood, Straight, Todd, and Pierce. Here again, a review is given of the families.
 — “The Early Baptist of Cambridge Parish, Queens, New Brunswick” by the Reverend Walter R. Greenwood, a 1941, eighty page publication provides a wealth of genealogical information concerning the families who attended the churches in the area. The book is available at the Fredericton Library and the Legislative Library and possibly at other research institutions within New Brunswick.

In 1849 he moved to Illinois, and in 1853 he went across the plains to California. Two years later he returned and took a course in medicine at Rush College. In 1859 he entered the law office of Lincoln & Herndon. at Springfield, Ill. After being admitted to the bar he traveled a year for a fire insurance company, and then came to Ann Arbor and graduated in the law class of 1863.

Notes:

The Biographical Review noted above says this about Hon. Charles N. Skinner:

“[…] ex-judge of probate for the county of St. John, N.B. and in 1900, Recorder for the city of St. John. Born in St. John, 12 March 1833, son of Samuel Skinner, whose father came from New England to the province just before the Revolutionary war. Samuel Skinner was born in N.S. and during his active life was a leading builder and contractor of St. John. He married Phebe Sherwood, daughter of Robert Golding and grand-daughter of Captain Golding, a Loyalist who commanded a company of dragoons through the Revolution, and afterward emigrated with his family to the Maritime Provinces.
 Charles N. Skinner received his elementary education in the schools in St. John, and after studying law with Charles W. Stockton, was admitted an attorney in 1858, and in 1860 was called to the bar. He began the practice of his profession in the city of his birth, where he had since won a reputation as a keen, clear-headed lawyer, prudent in counsel and devoted to the interests of his clients. For nearly twoscore years, Mr. Skinner has been active in politics, and from 1861 to 1868 he was a member of the Legislative Assembly. In August, 1867, he was appointed Solicitor General, an office which he ably filled until March 1868, when he was made Judge of Probate for St. John County. During the same year, he was appointed Queen’s Counsel by the provincial government, and in 1883, was thus honored by the Dominion government. In 1887, Mr.Skinner, who had previously resigned his position as Judge of Probate, was elected to the Dominion Parliament, in which he served until 1892. He subsequently resumed his position as Judge of Probate, having been reappointed in June 1892, and served until January 1894, when he resigned to accept his present office of City Recorder. For several years he was a member of the St. John Council, and while occupying that position took advantage of every opportunity to advance the welfare of the city and the interests of its citizens.
 Fraternally, Mr. Skinner is a Mason and an Odd Fellow, and he is a member of the Union Club of St. John. In his religious belief he is a Baptist, and contributes generously toward the support of that denomination. In June 1896, he received the honorary degree of Doctor of Civil Law from King’s College, Windsor, N.S.”

SKU 16(3)82 Compendium of Biography pages 334-338 South Dakota State Archives 900 Governors Dr. Pierre, SD 57501-2217 WILLIAM HENRY SKINNER, whose portrait will be found on another page, is a pioneer of Brookings, and to him belongs the credit for doing more, probably, than any other individual in the building up of Brookings city and county.
 Mr. Skinner, always a broad minded and public spirited man, has had the interests of his chosen city at heart ever since he first arrived upon the wild Dakota prairie, where Brookings now stands, in 1873. His history is part of the history of South Dakota, and were the early events in which he figured prominently to be written of at length they might easily fill a volume.
 Mr. Skinner was born in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia, on the 24th of July, 1851. He is the son of Henry and Ruth A. (Ilsley) Skinner, of whom sketches will be found upon another page of this work. Mr. Skinner received an elementary education in the public schools of Nova Scotia, and later attended Acadia college, which is now the University of Nova Scotia. He taught school for two years in Nova Scotia, and at the age of eighteen came with his parents to Iowa, where he resumed his professional labors.
 In June, 1873. Mr. Skinner came to Brookings, locating at first in Trenton township, where he homesteaded a claim and pre-empted another, making in all three hundred and twenty acres of rich land which he acquired. This was converted into a large farm, and remained in Mr. Skinner’s possession until 1893, when he sold it, his other interests having become so large that they required all of his time and attention. One of the most important services, among the many which he rendered to Brookings county was getting the Chicago & North-Western railway to establish a station at Brookings. This was no easy task, as a railroad in those days was something of a seventh wonder among most of the folk who lived in that region, and they were in the habit of letting the officials do about as they pleased.
 Mr. Skinner purchased about two hundred and forty acres of land at Brookings while the place was; yet virgin prairie. His intention was to make it the site of a future great city; and as a preliminary step, to secure a station on the North-Western road on or near his land and secure the location of the county seat at this place. The whole idea was daring in its’ conception, an still more so in its execution. This projector after securing the assistance and cooperation of the leading citizens of the county went before the officers of the road represented to them the future of the city and it’s advantageous location, and closed by offering one hundred and sixty acres of land to them if they would agree to add Brookings to the line and build a station there. It was thus finally a arranged through Mr. Skinner’s zeal, though the engineers and some of the high a officials protested against the move the county commissioners were at once petitioned to submit to a vote the question of location of county seat, which resulted in Brookings being selected by a good majority. This was merely one of the clever coups which Mr. Skinner executed in the days. His farsightedness and ability showed in his next move. After securing assurances that the railroad station located at Brookings, he advertised the fact very extensively, and also made it known that there was a town named Brookings, and that he had several acres of town lots to sell. So well was the matter arranged that people soon began to inquire about the lots, and finally to purchase them and from that time forth Brookings began from the condition of a hamlet into the proud estate of a city. It was Mr. Skinner and his property that started the city, and to him alone is due the credit of originating and carrying out the project.
 In 1879 Mr. Skinner’s services were partially recognized. and he was appointed to the office of clerk of the district court. The county seat was then at Medary, a very diminutive hamlet, which has since become but a memory. Mr. Skinner immediately took his office paraphernalia upon assuming the office and conveyed it to the new town, Brookings. This startling move had an immediate effect, for all a other county officers forthwith followed in his footsteps, and soon the city which Mr. Skinner had laid out became the official capital of Brookings county, a title which it poss-esses to the present day.
 Mr. Skinner has since devoted most of his time to real estate and business ventures, all of which have been successful, and he is, of course, in very easy circumstances. He has not relaxed his efforts in behalf of the city, however, and is still one of its most active and energetic residents.
 In 1896 he, with a number of others, incorporated the Brookings Cooperative Creamery Company and he is at present one of the largest stockholders. This company was organized, as its name implies, upon the cooperative basis, and for the benefit of the farmers, who thus have a direct and personal interest in all of it’s concerns. Up to the present time it has met with great success. Mr. Skinner was one of the promoters of the Masonic Temple, which is one of the finest brick business blocks in the city. The second floor contains the finest suite of lodge rooms in the state.
 During 1886-87 Mr. Skinner was one of the Trustees of the State Agricultural college. He served two years and it was largely through his efforts that one of the largest and finest buildings on the campus was erected. Mr. Skinner is a free-silver Republican politically, and has held a num-ber of public offices. In addition to being clerk of the courts and a trustee of the agricultural college, he was postmaster of Brookings from 1891 to ’95. He is prominent in secret society affairs, and is a member of the blue lodge, chapter, commandery and council of the Masonic fraternity, also a leader of the M. W. A. and the A. O. U. W.
 Mr. Skinner married Miss Elizabeth A. Laird, April 13, 1873 She was the daughter of James and Margaret Laird, and was a native of Chickasaw, Iowa. Mrs. Skinner died in July, 1886, leaving five children: Ansel 0., who is now manager of the Creamery at Pierpoint, South Dakota; Agnes A., a teacher of Yankton; Charles H., Guy E. and May E.
Mr. Skinner remarried February 29 1888, his bride being Georgia A. Laird a cousin of his first wife. Mr. and Mrs. Skinner a re the parents of four children now living. They are: Catharine, Ruth A., Rae G. and Grant.
