  • Name Nancy Katherine Skinner 
    • 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. [1]

    The Last Will and Testament of Hezekiah Skinner    		The Last Will and Testament of Hezekiah Skinner
    The Last Will and Testament of Hezekiah Skinner from Will Book T in Scott County, Kentucky. With the exception of a request that perishable property be sold to cover just debts, Hezekiah left all of his property to his wife while she lived and afterwards desired that the land and belongings be divided equally among his five daughters. One special case was that, if she so desired, his oldest daughter was to have his homestead if she would relinquish the home and land where she then lived and if that land were added back to the total estate to be divided equally among the five daughters.

  • 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.

      I'm sure the "S" middle initial was just a transcription error for a very script-like "T". I have seen many variations from transcriptionists in this source.
