Research Notes:
In father's will, 1690, John Skinner received the north half of the home lot at "Rocky Hill" and in Mar 1691/62 sopld it to his brother-in-law Joshua Carter. The property he bought of the Olmsteads, long known as the Skinner Homestead, was on the west side of Front St. south of Grove St, and within about two blocks of the old Meeting House. Here he lived and his descendants after him for several generations, the old homestead remaining in the possession of the family for nearly 180 years, until it was finally disposed of about 1870. [Ref: Wahl SKINNER p18]

John Skinner was a leading citizen of Hartford in his day and actively participated in the conduct of the town's affairs. His name appears in many places on the town records as a member of important committees, such as the laying out and care of highways, corrections of all disorders in the town taverns, management of the ferry across the Connecticut River, management of the 'free grammar School in Hartford", etc. John joined the first Church in Hartford, Feb 3 1694/95 the day of the baptism of his daughter Rachel, and was admitted to full communion April 1 1709. Wife Rachel was admitted to full communion April 12 1696. [Ref: Wahl SKINNER p18]

John Skinner is referred to in the town records of Hartford in 1715 and in many places thereafter as Sergeant John Skinner, but whether he held this rank in the Colonial Troop of Cavalry, in which his father before him served as a corporal, or in the Infantry train band, is impossible to determine at this time.
