Below text excerpted from pgs. 1796-1797 of COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA
by J. H. BEERS & CO.:
NATHAN SKINNER, a worthy representative of the agricultural interests of Oakland Township, Susquehanna County, was born there, March 16, 1826, a son of Jacob and Rhoda (McDowell) Skinner, natives of Orange County, NY, the former born in 1778, the latter in 1781.
Jacob Skinner with his twin brother, Dr. Israel Skinner, came to Susquehanna County, in 1804, and they located on adjoining farms on the Susquehanna River, near Hickory Grove, in what is now Oakland Township, but then formed a part of Harmony Township. The Doctor engaged in the practice of medicine, and here reared a large family, all of whom are now deceased. In the midst of the wilderness Jacob Skinner cleared and improved a good farm, and in the log cabin he erected thereon, he spent his last years.
In his family were 13 children who reached years of maturity, namely:
(1) Amos, born in Orange County, NY, in March, 1801, married Julia A. Brush, of Oakland, and for some years lived on a farm in Great Bend Township, but finally purchased a large tract of land on the Belmont pike near Lanesboro, where the greater part of his life was passed. By his first wife he had four children, all now deceased, and by the second, a Miss Mayo, he had one daughter, Etta, now deceased.
(2) John, born in Orange County, NY, in May, 1802, married a Miss Salisbury, of Susquehanna County, and moved to Lee County, IL, where both died.
(3) Rhoda M., born in Orange county, in March, 1804, married David Hall, and after living for some years in Oakland, went to Illinois and settled near Amboy, where both died, leaving one daughter, who is still a resident of that place.
(4) Abraham, born on the home farm in Oakland Township, Susquehanna County, in 1806, married Mary Brush, a representative of one of Oakland Township's old families, and also moved to Illinois, locating on the Fox River, where he spent the remainder of his life. He left 2 children— Charles and Sarah J.
(5) Beneier, born in May, 1808, married Deborah Tarkey, of Orange County, NY, and located on the Susquehanna River in Oakland Township, near where the poor farm now stands. There he followed lumbering and milling for some years and then removed to Illinois, where he died leaving a family.
(6) Phoebe, born in September, 1810, married Timothy Cannon, and also went to Illinois, where both died leaving a family.
(7) Betsy, born in October, 1812, married William R. Wells, of Orange County, NY, and on going west first located in Illinois, but later in Seneca, Kan., where before their deaths they celebrated their golden wedding. One of their sons was a prominent lawyer of Seneca, and he was elected presiding judge, and later supreme judge of that State.
(8) Jacob I., born in 1815, was a carpenter by trade but also followed farming, having purchased a farm in Oakland township, where he died leaving a widow, who was, in her maidenhood, Jane Penny, of Susquehanna county, and they had ten children — Theodore; Ophelia, deceased wife of Ham Canfield, of Susquehanna; Ollie, wife of George Pooler, of Lanesboro; Jenton; Elmira, wife of Charles Vincent, of Oakland; Ida, a resident of Oakland; Fremont, who is married and lives in Philadelphia; Cora, wife of Martin O'Donald, of Towanda, PA; Alice, widow of George Drake, of Susquehanna; and Charles, a resident of Oakland, who married Cora Mayo, and has one daughter, Hazel.
(9) Alpheus, born in January, 1817, married Olive Lewis, of Susquehanna county, and became a resident of Illinois, where he died leaving a family.
(10) William, born in October, 1819, is a blacksmith by trade and a resident of Oakland Township. Pie married Nancy Sutliff, of New York State, and has 2 children — Lydia Dell, wife of Joseph Whittington, of Buffalo, NY; and Marcellus, of Oakland. (11) Isaac, born in August, 1 82 1, married Cordelia Roberts, and is now living at Syracuse, NY Two of his four children are living — Isaac and George, of New York City.
(12) Josiah, born in June, 1824, married and moved to Chicago, IL, where he engaged in hotel-keeping until his death, and in that city his family, still live.
(13) Nathan, our subject, is the youngest of the family.
During his boyhood and youth Nathan Skinner assisted in the work of the home farm during the summer season and attended school through the winter months.
In 1847 he was united in marriage with Miss Harriet Baker, a daughter of William Baker, a representative of one of the old families of Great Bend Township, Susquehanna County. They located on a tract of wild land in Oakland Township, which Mr. Skinner converted into a good farm, erecting thereon good and substantial buildings. Here the wife died in December, 1860, and the two daughters, Helena and Helen, born to them, died in childhood. Mrs. Skinner was a well-educated woman and prior to her marriage successfully engaged in teaching in the district schools for a number of years.
For his second wife our subject married Margaret A. Blessing, a daughter of John and Elizabeth Blessing, prominent citizens, of Great Bend Township. After this marriage he sold his first farm and moved to Great Bend Township, and later lived in the Borough of Oakland, where he served as street commissioner for a number of years, and also looked after his farming interests.
In 1896 he located upon his present farm in Oakland Township, where his wife died in March, 1898, leaving one daughter, Blanche, a lady of culture and refinement, who is a great comfort to her father in his declining years. She received a good education in the graded schools of Susquehanna and Oakland, and was for several years one of the successful teachers of Susquehanna county.
In 1886 Blanche married Jasper Hawes, who was born in Forest Lake, Susquehanna County, in 1855. He attended school in Montrose, and graduated from the Kingston Academy, after which he studied law under M. J. Larrabee, of Susquehanna, and was admitted to the Bar at Montrose. He then engaged in practice in Susquehanna until failing health caused his retirement.
For a time Jasper served as foreman in the felting factory at Newburg, Orange Co., NY, and in early life taught for some years in the district schools. He died in January, 1899, leaving his young wife with three children — Rex Bentley (who is now attending the Oakland schools); Margaret Louise; and Helena Blanche.
Politically Mr. Skinner has always affiliated with the Republican Party, and he has been called upon to serve in several local offices of honor and trust, such as supervisor, road master, auditor of Oakland Borough, and school director.
Religiously Nathan Skinner and his daughter are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which his wife was also an active and prominent member. She belonged to the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Oakland, and for a time served as its president.
Our subject is widely and favorably known, and is a worthy representative of an honored pioneer family of the county. As tillers of the soil they bore their part in transforming the wild timber land into productive farms, and they were men of integrity and sterling worth whose kindly acts will long be remembered and their names revered.
The residence now occupied by Mr. Skinner was once occupied by Joseph Smith.

This paragraph text was excerpted from Vol. II The Creation of Mormonism, pg. 119: From 1896 to 1909 the household of Nathan Skinner, and daughter, Rhoda Blanche (Skinner) Hawes, with her three children, Helena, Margaret and Rex Hawes, lived in the house once owned and occupied by Joseph Smith. It was a partly-finished house, 26 feet broad, 18 feet deep and 14 feet in the posts. The Smith home was "built of lumber, having 2 rooms downstairs. The floor downstairs was of hardwood maple. When entering the house, one came into a hallway, and there a stairway led up to an attic or loft; the east end of this loft was boarded off into a room with a window looking toward the east. Handed down stories stated that Joseph Smith did a lot of writing in this room. Another stairway, underneath the attic stairway, let down to the cellar underneath the house. There was a fireplace at the west end of the house.

During his boyhood and youth Nathan Skinner assisted in the work of the home farm during the summer season and attended school through the winter months.
In 1847 he was united in marriage with Miss Harriet Baker, a daughter of William Baker, a representative of one of the old families of Great Bend Township, Susquehanna County. They located on a tract of wild land in Oakland Township, which Mr. Skinner converted into a good farm, erecting thereon good and substantial buildings. Here the wife died in December, 1860, and the two daughters, Helena and Helen, born to them, died in childhood. Mrs. Skinner was a well-educated woman and prior to her marriage successfully engaged in teaching in the district schools for a number of years.
For his second wife our subject married Margaret A. Blessing, a daughter of John and Elizabeth Blessing, prominent citizens, of Great Bend Township. After this marriage he sold his first farm and moved to Great Bend Township, and later lived in the Borough of Oakland, where he served as street commissioner for a number of years, and also looked after his farming interests.
In 1896 he located upon his present farm in Oakland Township, where his wife died in March, 1898, leaving one daughter, Blanche, a lady of culture and refinement, who is a great comfort to her father in his declining years. She received a good education in the graded schools of Susquehanna and Oakland, and was for several years one of the successful teachers of Susquehanna county.
In 1886 Blanche married Jasper Hawes, who was born in Forest Lake, Susquehanna County, in 1855. He attended school in Montrose, and graduated from the Kingston Academy, after which he studied law under M. J. Larrabee, of Susquehanna, and was admitted to the Bar at Montrose. He then engaged in practice in Susquehanna until failing health caused his retirement.
For a time Jasper served as foreman in the felting factory at Newburg, Orange Co., NY, and in early life taught for some years in the district schools. He died in January, 1899, leaving his young wife with three children — Rex Bentley (who is now attending the Oakland schools); Margaret Louise; and Helena Blanche.
Politically Mr. Skinner has always affiliated with the Republican Party, and he has been called upon to serve in several local offices of honor and trust, such as supervisor, road master, auditor of Oakland Borough, and school director.
Religiously Nathan Skinner and his daughter are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which his wife was also an active and prominent member. She belonged to the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Oakland, and for a time served as its president.
Our subject is widely and favorably known, and is a worthy representative of an honored pioneer family of the county. As tillers of the soil they bore their part in transforming the wild timber land into productive farms, and they were men of integrity and sterling worth whose kindly acts will long be remembered and their names revered.
The residence now occupied by Mr. Skinner was once occupied by Joseph Smith.

Below text excerpted from pgs. 1796-1797 of COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA
by J. H. BEERS & CO.:
NATHAN SKINNER, a worthy representative of the agricultural interests of Oakland Township, Susquehanna County, was born there, March 16, 1826, a son of Jacob and Rhoda (McDowell) Skinner, natives of Orange County, NY, the former born in 1778, the latter in 1781.
Jacob Skinner with his twin brother, Dr. Israel Skinner, came to Susquehanna County, in 1804, and they located on adjoining farms on the Susquehanna River, near Hickory Grove, in what is now Oakland Township, but then formed a part of Harmony Township. The Doctor engaged in the practice of medicine, and here reared a large family, all of whom are now deceased. In the midst of the wilderness Jacob Skinner cleared and improved a good farm, and in the log cabin he erected thereon, he spent his last years.
In his family were 13 children who reached years of maturity, namely:
(1) Amos, born in Orange County, NY, in March, 1801, married Julia A. Brush, of Oakland, and for some years lived on a farm in Great Bend Township, but finally purchased a large tract of land on the Belmont pike near Lanesboro, where the greater part of his life was passed. By his first wife he had four children, all now deceased, and by the second, a Miss Mayo, he had one daughter, Etta, now deceased.
(2) John, born in Orange County, NY, in May, 1802, married a Miss Salisbury, of Susquehanna County, and moved to Lee County, IL, where both died.
