Notes for THOMAS SKELTON:
The following records were obtained mostly from Earl Skelton who has a Skelton database. This line has not been thoroughly researched by me, I just want to find out more about this line, and if anyone recognizes anybody here, please contact me.  The following records were extracted from books, and they pertain to many different Skeltons, not just Thelma Prince's line. An asterisk* will be typed by the record if I know the person named is a member of my line.
