    Notes:

    Below, stories passed down to me, David J. Schimka, from my grandfather, Howard Francis Boyle.

    Katherine's parents owned land and slaves. When their children were grown they were given some land and a number of horses. During the Civil War, Union and Confederate soldiers would stop at their home to take flour and exchange their tired horses for fresh ones.

    Kate outlived her daughter Maude. After Robert died, she tried to live at her home but wasn't able to. She then lived with her daughter Maude and finally with her daughter Cora after Maude died. She died in Ludlow, Kenton County, Kentucky while she was living with Cora. Maude lived until 1933 so Kate's death date is during or after 1933. I don't know when or where Cora died.

    Name:
    Nancy seems to have gone by her middle name for most of her life and in particular, by her nickname, Kate, which is how my grandfather, Howard Francis Boyle, referred to her when he first told me about his family in Kentucky. Kate was his grandmother and he knew her personally when he was a child.

    • Will: 21 May 1902, Scott County, Kentucky; Elizabeth Fields-Thompson renounces the provisions of Hezekiah Skinner's Will as they pertain to her and expressing her desire that the remaining provisions pertaining to the other named heirs be carried out as per Hezekiah's Will.

    Notes:

    I have seen photographs of the cemetery where Hezekiah Skinner and Elizabeth are buried. The cemetery lies within a residential property along the highway somewhere near Corinth and Hinton Kentucky. Some of the cemetery stones are large obilisk type monuments.

    The place of Death may have come from my grandfather, Howard Francis Boyle, but Hinton is in Harrison County, KY, not Scott County.

    Census records show that Hezekiah and Elizabeth lived in Scott County from at least 1850 through 1900 and probably until their death.

    Died:
    The obituary falls under the heading of "Hinton" which could be an indicator that Hezekiah Skinner died in Harrison County, Kentucky which is where the community of Hinton is located.

    Notes:

    There is at least one article about Abraham Fields that apparently contains information about Abraham becoming a guardian to the children of a brother, named Joseph, in Maryland and then bringing those children with when he relocated to Scott County, Kentucky. This article appears to be in one of the volumes of "Kentucky Ancestors" between 7-8 around 1971.

    This information was gleaned from a Google book search but the resulting "snip" was very limited. The search included two exact phrases - "maryland historical magazine" "abraham fields" which returned a hit in the Kentucky Historical Society's publication, "Kentucky Ancestors."

    Known Presence:
    May have signed an Oath of Fidelity in Montgomery County, Maryland in 1778.

    Oaths of Fidelity or Oaths of Allegiance, 1775-1778

    The Oath of Fidelity was instituted by Laws of Maryland 1777, Chapter 20, An Act for the Better Security of Government. Every free male 18 years and older was required to subscribe to an oath renouncing the King of England and to pledge allegiance to the revolutionary government of Maryland. Those already engaged in military service were assumed to be loyal. Quakers, Mennonites, and Dunkards were permitted to affirm. There were several penalties associated with failure to obey the instructions of the ACT. Magistrates neglecting to keep books and transmit them to the Governor were to be fined 500 pounds. Persons expected to take the oath who did not do so were required, for the rest of their lives, to pay triple the ordinary tax on real and personal property. They were forbidden to exercise and practice the trade of merchandise or to practice the law, physic or surgery, or the art of an apothecary, or to preach or teach the gospel, or to teach in public or private schools, or to hold or exercise within this state, any office of profit or trust, civil or military, or to vote at any election of electors or senators, or of delegates to the house of delegates. Oaths were to be administered by the magistrates of each county before March 1, 1778. One list of those who subscribed to the oath was to be kept at the county court and another sent to the governor and Council in Annapolis. The lists from various sources have been consolidated into this collection. This collection consists of documents containing lists of those residents of the respective counties of the State of Maryland who subscribed to the oath before a magistrate and oaths submitted to the Governor and Council.
