Thomas Skinner, Baker of Boston (??-1690)

Thomas Skinner, Baker of Boston (??-1690)

Thomas Skinner, Baker of Boston NOT the same as Thomas Skinner, son of Thomas Skinner of Malden, MA.

research conducted by Gregg Legutki, 3 June 2016.

I'm offering a clarification on one of the memorials from the Kings Chapel Burying Ground in Boston, MA.

The Thomas Skinner who died 28 December 1690 (Find-A-Grave #39429020) is found in a number of references and is identified as "Baker" or "Baker of Boston."

In "Boston Births, Baptisms, Marriages, and Deaths, 1630-1699" (http://goo.gl/Zfv3Dr) page 194, (http://goo.gl/39bQMm), this Thomas Skinner who “dyed Decr 28” is listed as Thomas Skinner, Bakr.

Thomas Skinner (baker of Boston) who died 28 Dec 1690, was recorded as the 2nd husband of Eliz. Maverick in “Mayflower Births and Deaths, Volume 1 & 2” (http://goo.gl/6eZvrr).

The memorial (Find-A-Grave #39429020) incorrectly states that Thomas Skinner was born 25 July 1645, and was shown the child of Sergeant Thomas Skinner and Mary.

The HEADSTONE only shows an age of 46, NOT a date of birth.

The son of Sgt. Thomas Skinner (who was baptized at Chichester, England 25 July 1645), and who married Mary Pratt, died between 1722-1732 in Colchester, CT. This memorial does NOT belong to the same Thomas Skinner, b1645, Chichester, son of Thomas Skinner c1617, immigrant, of Malden, MA.

The Thomas Skinner memorial 39429020 also shows a child, Nathaniel Skinner (113485840) as a son of this Thomas Skinner, (Baker). This Nathaniel Skinner was not a child of Thomas Skinner and Elizabeth Maverick.
