"Esquire G. G. Skinner
"A gentleman who admirably administers the law in the law in the lower courts of the county, is Esquire Geo. G. Skinner, a native Alabamian who was born in Clarke County, February 14, 1840. He attended Spring Hill College and after completing his education removed to Mobile, where he engaged in clerical work in a cotton brokerage office until the civil war, when he enlisted in the 24th Alabama Regiment. Later he was placed in the engineering department and was inspector of military roads and bridges under Maj. S. T. Douglas, chief engineer of the Trans-Mississippi. As bearer of dispatches to Richmond, he had thrilling experiences crossing the Mississippi river.
"On the 3d of March, 1863, he married Miss Mary Eugenia Hill, a niece of Lieut.-Gen'l A. Hill. After serving through the war, he accepted a position with Geo. R. Tuttle & Co. Mobile, as cashier and bookkeeper, and there remained until his removal to Washington County in 1867. He has raised a family of ten children. He comes of the old lineage stock of Southern ancestry, and preserves his age to a remarkable degree.
"Esquire Skinner has continuously held the office of justice of the peace since 1867 and has been quite successful as a real estate dealer. As a judge his rulings have been respectfully fair and impartial, and personally he is a man of a strong following of friends. He is what is known as a conscientious and conservative Democrat. His daughter, Mrs. Mason, is postmistress at Hawthorn, where he holds his court and has a comfortable home."
Archives at Spring Hill College, Mobile, Alabama, indicate that he entered there on December 6, 1853 at age 13. His parents were Henry A. Skinner and Mary Creecy. His religion was Catholic and his First Communion had not been made. He studied English, Latin, Greek, French, and others. He was from Summerville, Ala. (now Springhill, suburb of Mobile).
"The above information disagrees with "THE SKINNER KINSMEN, Volume I, The Descendants of Richard Skinner of North Carolina" Compiled by Doris Seymour Wahl and Cynthia Walker Rummel on file at the North Carolina State Library,Raleigh, NC."
In 1912-14 he applied for a pension from the government for veterans
