    • RESEARCH_NOTES:
      1. The book "The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography," v. 27, p. 325, entry for David Edward Skinner (b. 1867): "His first paternal American ancestor was John Skinner, born at Braintree, England, who was one of the founders of Hartford, Conn., in 1636, the line of descent from John and his wife Mary Loomis being through their son John and his wife Mary Easton, (etc.)."

      2. Per 9 Feb 2002 email of Ellen Baker : Mary (b. around 1620, m. #1 John Skinner, one of the original proprietors of Hartford, Connecticut, and his name is on the Founder's Monument there and in 1640 owned 22 acres in a division of upland in Hartford, Connecticut, east of the river, had 5 children, Mary (m. Robert Reeve), Ann (m. John Colt Jr.), John Jr. (Corporal of Train Band, a form of militia organized around towns in New England, m. Mary Easton), Joseph (m. Mary Filley) and Richard (m. Mary Grant?); Mary m. #2 Owen Tudor, had 5 children, Sarah (twin) (m. James Porter), Samuel (twin) (m. #1 Abigail Filley; m. #2 Joanna Taylor), Owen Jr. (never married), Jane (m. Samuel Smith), and Mary (m.#1 John Orton; m. #2 John Judson)).

      3. The book "Families of Early Hartford, Connecticut," Lucius Barnes Barbour, 1982 ed.:
      "John Skinner died 1650, mar. Mary Loomis who m. Owen Tudor Nov. 13, 1651. She died Aug. 19, 1680, dau. of Joseph Loomis of Windsor. Early member 1 Ch. Name on Founders Monument. Children:

      Richard, b. 1643.
      [Kerry's note: The birthdates of the children look suspicious especially considering the same author in his separate full entry for John, the Child, shows a 1641 birthdate which varies from the 1637.]
      An original proprietor; his home lot in 1639 was on the west side of Main St. a little below the present corner of Pearl St. but this was given to Richard Olmsted, he receiving in exhange a lot on the highway now Trumbull St.; juror 1639. John Talcott, in his will Aug. 12, 1659, mentions his kinsman John Skinner as 'living in his service' and as John Talcott's mother was Anne, daughter of William Skinner, it is probable that John Skinner Sr. came from Braintree, Co. Essex, Eng."

      "Genealogical investigations have been unable to establish definitely the order of the children of Joseph Loomis, and it is considered advisable to give here the conflicting evidence:
      Possible order of children:
      1. Mrs Olmsted, b. 1615, md. 1640. [Sarah]
      2. Mrs. Hull, b. 1617, md. 1641. [Elizabeth]

      6. Thomas, b. 1624, md. 1653.
      7. Nathaniel, b. 1626, md. 1653.
      8. Samuel, b. 1628, md. 1653.
      Probably, however, the order was as follows:
      Joseph, b. 1615.
      Sarah, b. 1617.
      Elizabeth, b. abt 1619.
      Mary, b. abt 1620.

      9. The book "Ancestors and Descendants of Thomas Rice Lyon and his wife Harriet Wade Rice with related families," by Patty Barthell Myers (2003), pp. 448-51:
      "JOSEPH LOOMIS, b. Eng., c1590; d. Windsor, Conn., 25 Nov 1658. He m. Messing, County Essex, England 30 Jun 1614 MARY WHITE. She was bpt. Shalford, England, 24 Aug 1590; d. Windsor, Conn., 23 Aug 1652, d/o Robert White and Bridget Allgar of Messing.
      Joseph Loomis was a woolen draper in Braintree, Essex Co., England; sailed from London 11 Apr 1638 in the Susan and Ellen, and arrived at Boston 17 Jul 1638, living for about a year at Dorchester, Mass. It is mentioned in the town records of Windsor, Vol. 1, that on the 2d of Feb., 1640, he had granted him from the Plantation 21 acres adjoining Farmington Aver, on the west side of the Connecticut river; also several large tracts of land on the east side of the Connecticut, partly from the town and partly by purchase. He probably came to Windsor in the summer or autumn of 1639, and he is generally supposed to have come in the company with Rev. Ephraim Huet, who arrived at Windsor 17 Aug 1639. He brought with him five sons, all of whom were freemen 7 Oct 1669, and three daughters. The marriages of these children are recorded in the town records of Windsor, as were the births of their children, but as the dates of birth of Joseph's children are not recorded, it is difficult to determine the order of seniority. His house was situated near the mouth of the Farmington river on the "Island," so called because at every great freshet it became temporarily an island by the overflowing of the Connecticut river.
      In the Records of particular Court for the colony of Connecticut, Vol 2, p. 115, is recorded the agreement of the children of Mr. Joseph Loomis, respecting the division of the estate of said deceased as approved by the Court 2 Dec 1658.

      (Manwaring, Charles W., A Digest of the Early Connecticut Probate Records, Hartford District. Vol. 1, 1650-1663, pp. 135-6.)
      It is believed that the order in which the children were named in the division of the estate indicates the relative ages of the children. Further, Joseph Loomis, the younger, and John Loomis had land granted to them from the Windsor Plantation in 1643. The other sons acquired no land until several years afterward. The marriages of the sons, as recorded at Windsor, took place in the order of the names mentioned above.

      10. The book "Emerson-Benson Saga …," by Edmund K. Swigart (Baltimore: Gateway Press, Inc., 1994), pp. 351-53:
      "JOSEPH1 LOOMIS (JOHNA LUMACE, JOHNB LUMMYS, THOMASC) was born by 1590, perhaps in Braintree, county Lincoln, England, and died 25 November 1658 at Windsor, CT. He was the son of JOHNA LUMACE, a tailor of Thaxted and Braintree and AGNESA LINGWOOD and JANE MARLAN?, daughter of WILLIAMB and MARGARETA (PERYE) MARLAN? of Braintree. He was also the grandson of JOHNB LUMMYS, a carpenter of Thaxted, and Kryster [sic: Krysten] (Christian (___). JOSEPH1 married 30 June 1616 at Messing, county Essex, England, MARY1 WHITE, daughter of ROBERTA, a wealthy yeoman, and BRIDGETA (ALLGAR) WHITE of Shalford, county Essex. MARY1 was baptized 24 August 1590 at Shalford and died 23 August 1652 at Windsor. MARY1's younger sister, ANNA1, married ancestor JOHN1 PORTER.
      United States President Ulysses Simpson Grant (18th Chief Executive), Stephen Grover Cleveland (22nd and 24th), and Gerald Rudolph Ford, (38th), were descendants of MARY1's parents and Millard Fillmore (13th President), of her and her parents.
      JOSEPH1 was a woolen draper, He and his wife lived in Braintree until 1628. They moved to London and from there sailed with their eight children 11 April 1638 aboard the "Susan and Ellen", the same ship that ancestor Rev. PETER1 BULKELEY had taken in 1635. The LOOMIS family arrived in Boston 11 July 1638, they may have spent their first year in Dorchester, MA, but moved by land in the summer of 1639 to Windsor, CT, "Probably in the company of Reverend Ephraim Huet who arrived there August 17, 1639" (ref. 3). "On 2 Feb. 1640 he had granted to him 21 acres on the west side of the Connecticut River adjoining the Farmington River" (ref. 6). JOSEPH1 continued to acquire land and served on juries in 1642 and in 1644 with Nathaniel1 Foote, brother of ancestor MARYA FOOTE. "On 6 January 1650, he was sued by" [ancestor WILLIAM1 BUELL] "for trespass and for damage to the extent of seven bushels of corn; one may infer that his stock got away from him" (ref. 3).
      JOSEPH1 apparently left no will. His estate was valued at 178 pounds 10 shillings, with "a 'debt in England'" (ref. 3) of 12 pounds 14 shillings 6 pence against it. On December 1658, his wife having predeceased him, his five sons and three daughters (two represented by their husbands) signed an agreement in place of a will to divide JOSEPH's estate equitably among them.
      The children of JOSEPH1 and MARY1 (WHITE) LOOMIS, all probably born in Braintree, county Lancaster, England, and probably not all listed in the correct order of birth, were.
