John H. Skinner, Sr., biographical sketch
History of Licking County, Ohio: Its Past and Present, page 761
Hanover Township
Skinner, John H., a farmer by occupation, was born June 5, 1831, in Hanover township, near where he lives; he is the son of Asa W. and Martha (Haley) Skinner. They came to this county in 1827, from Virginia, where they were born, and settled on a farm about one-half mile west of where John W. now lives. Here they reared a family of twelve children, consisting of five sons and seven daughters, the subject of this sketch being the fifth born to them; his parents are dead, the mother having died in 1866, and the father in 1875.
Mr. Skinner was married April 2, 1857, to Malvenia Allen, the daughter of Noah and Mary A. (Esstile [sic]) Allen and was born September 28, 1838, in Muskingum county. Her parents removed from Muskingum to this county, in 1842, and settled in Hopewell township, where they reared a family of twelve children.
The result of Mr. Skinner's marriage is eleven children, nine of whom are living, five boys and four girls. One boy and one girl are dead. Those living are: James A., born February 25, 1858; Asa W., October 23, 1859; John H., jr., September 5, 1861; Morris A., July 7, 1863; Martha C., February 1, 1866; Noah T. E., May 23, 1868; Harriett Ann, February 19, 1871; Ella Agnes, January 31, 1876; Lisla Blanche, November 24, 1879. Those dead are Malveina [sic] H., who was born April 29, 1873, and died May 27, 1874; infant boy, born February 6, 1875, died February 11, 1875.
