Now Playing: 1860 thru 1900 Missouri census records
My great grandfather "Gramps" James Rueben Skinner was born in March 1893 to Marion Taylor Skinner and Amanda Belle Hardister. Amanda sometimes went by "Mandy" or "Belle".
Marion was born in Missouri April 1857 and Amanda in Missiouri April 1861. They were married on April 12, 1882. They had six children. Rebecca Lee born September 1885. Arthur Carl born December 1887. Annie Ethel born October 1889. James Rueben born March 1893. They had twins, a boy and a girl, Earl and Pearl born November 1899. The twins are in the 1900 census but in the 1910 census Pearl is listed without her brother and it states that Amanda has 5 living of 6 children born. I have yet to find out how Earl died. I do know that in my notes from Gramps, he told me Earl lived to be 3 years old. If anyone has this information please post below.
