NOTE: Clark Skinner (1779-1858) and family apparently lived in Rockcastle Co. and Estill Co., KY before moving to Randolph Co., MO prior to 1832 --this from a chart filed in 1961 by Mrs. Robert Potts with the Genealogy Forum of Portland, Ore.
NOTE: Clark Skinner, Sr. and Clark Skinner, Jr. are listed in the 1825 tax list for Estill Co., KY.
NOTE: Several sources give Clark Skinner's death place as Kentucky. While that is possible, it seems more likely that he died in Missouri. It is sometimes claimed (erroneously) that he died in 1855, but most sources state he died in 1858, which is when his will was recorded.
