BIBLE RECORD.

[Charlou Dolan: The names and birthdates of Richard & Rebecca's children are from the "Family Bible of Gertrude." They were passed on to me by Marion Jennings, who saw this Bible years before I met her, and who in 1987 tried to help me track down the Bible. Unfortunately, we failed to find the current owner.].

"We Came from Turkeyfoot," by Marian Jennings: Juanita Jeffers, a daughter of Dana (Jennings) Stephens knew Jesse’s daughter, Sarah Elizabeth Jennings and copied, but did not have certified, all the information in the Jennings and Skinner Bibles, thus giving the link between the two families. The Skinners were as follows: Richard Skinner b. 6 Dec 1775 d. 18 June 1857 buried Monroe Co., Missouri; father was Reuben Skinner Sr. Rebecca Rush b. 24-Feb-1776. Children: Mary, Thomas, Aaron, Margaret, Joel, Jehu, Ephriam, Zebal, & Sarah.
