Parentage

Some researchers have placed Pieter Skeen as a son of Matthias "Matthew" Schene (1701-1748) of Augusta County, Virginia, but Pieter is NOT named in land records which name Mattnew's three minor sons, as follows:

G-230: Jane Schene of Augusta Co., 301 acres in Augusta Co. Surv. Mr. George Byrne. Mathew Schene of Augusta Co. made entry but died soon after, leaving Jane, his widow, and three sons, John, Matthew & Jacob, all minors. The Widow and their said mother should have independent means for her support and maintenance of the children. Also to prevent said lands passing from children in case Mother should remarry - land granted Mother during her life & after her decease to her sons. Adj. Capt. Peter Scholl, on Smith's Creek. 21 July 1749. [Virginia Northern Neck Land Grants, 1742-1775, Vol. 2, Gertrude E. Gray, pg. 34].

If Pieter WAS a son of Matthew, then he would have died prior to this record, since he was not listed.
