"Richard (2) Skinner, b. 1646-7, m. and lived in Hartford, but his descendants removed to Colchester."
"P. 1, 6. Richard (2). There is no proof that he ever married."
The confusion regarding Richard Skinner's descendants in Colchester may have resulted from mistaking this Richard for the Richard Skinner, born 1675/76 in Malden, Massachusetts, son of Deacon Thomas and Mary (Pratt) Skinner.
