MAPPING FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES ACROSS GENERATIONS:

OVERVIEW:
This is a listing of each Skinner, and the friends, neighbors, and other persons who were associated with them. This analysis assists in linking Skinners together through the identification of their common friends and associates. For example, a much-needed link between the first two generations of Skinners is provided by their common association with the Clark family. The link of Benjamin and Catherine Skinner of Rahway to the Woodbridge Skinners is provided by a common association with an individual named David Craig. This analysis also aids in the positioning of the various Skinners, such as the numerous Daniel Skinners.
