    FIRST GENERATION
    Thomas Skiles (alternatively spelled Shiall) owned a plantation just south of the present town of Whitehaven, in Wicomico, Maryland. [Clayton Torrence, "Old Somerset on the Eastern Shore of Maryland", pages 280,349, 468.]
    He was living there in 1666. He was a member of the Church of England, Stepney Parish.
    Thomas married a woman named Alice, and had three children: Thomas, Elizabeth, and John. Alice is not named in Thomas' will and probably died before him.
