    "A study of the original records of Windsor, Conn., has convinced me (N. R. F.) that the early genealogists, whose work has heretofore been widely accepted, fell into some errors concerning the marriages of the children of Corporal John Skinner … There is credible evidence that 9. Deacon Joseph married 1st Dorothy Hosmer, 2nd Elizabeth Olmstead, and did not marry Mary Grant."

    "16. Deacon Joseph Skinner (3) (2) John (1), born about 1671, married, first, in Windsor, March 13, 1694, Mary, daughter of Samuel and Mary (Porter) Grant, born Jan. 23, 1675, and died in Windsor, April 15, 1711.
