ABIRAM SKKEL, son of NATHAN SKEELS
This latest of my postings on the Skeel/Skeels pages is a simple plea for DOCUMENTED confirmation that the Rev. ABIRAM SKEEL was in fact the son of NATHAN SKEELS.A contradictory tradition ascribes paternity to TRUMAN SKEELS (wife Chloe Hill), but NATHAN would seem the more logical sire.
ABIRAM was born 20 May 1774 in either Kent, CT or eastern New York.He married LYDIA PRENTICE in 1797 in Onondaga Co., NY.He died 27 May 1855 and is buried with his wife at Southside Cemetery, Red Creek, Wayne Co., NY.
I emphasize again my need for documentary evidence that would conclusively connect ABIRAM to NATHAN.Surely, someone out there has the key.
