  Origins
  Patriarch & Matriarch	Thomas Skinner           b. 1574  (3 x Great Grandfather)  Mary Kirk Gunn             d. Yes, date unknown  (Grandmother)
  Notes	He inherited the firm of William Skinner & Sons from his father. He was a shipbuilder, who established a yard in 1832 to build small schooners for the bay and coastal trades. The company expanded into building steamboats on the Chesapeake. The 1840 census shows that he had a pretty big household, but gives no names of other family members, which didn't come until 1850. He is apparently buried in a "Skinner family cemetery" in "Town Point, Dorchester County, MD." He also kept a Skinner family bible; this is written about in an article in the Calvert County Genealogical Society newsletter. The Thomas Skinner genealogy in vol. 16 of Colonial Families of the Eastern Shore uses this as a source. [1]
