I know what happens after they are born.
I want to know EXACTLYÌý who James MadisonR/author/lukedouglas/17;sÌý brothers/sisters were. James M Skipper, R/author/lukedouglas/16;Alabama, Estate Files, /author/lukedouglas/1830-/author/lukedouglas/1976R/author/lukedouglas/17;Ìý In these papers Thomas Craddock is administrator and Wm the guardian. Is Thomas AnnaR/author/lukedouglas/17;s brother or Uncle?
Another estate the children are heirs to is that of James Carter, which would be their great grandfather? PatsyR/author/lukedouglas/17;s father? Patsy Carter, R/author/lukedouglas/16;North Carolina, Marriages, /author/lukedouglas/1759-/author/lukedouglas/1979R/author/lukedouglas/17; 2nd child, my 2nd great grandfather: W. J. M. (William James Madison) Skipper and Martha A. Lucas, were married 02 Feb /author/lukedouglas/187/author/lukedouglas/1 in À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Alabama. They began their family in Alabama but moved to Overton Rusk Co Texas between /author/lukedouglas/1873-/author/lukedouglas/1877.
Six Children were born /author/lukedouglas/1878-/author/lukedouglas/1888 before the Skippers moved to Ringgold, Bienville Parish La.

Ìý
James Madison Skipper b. Cumberland NC /author/lukedouglas/1824-/author/lukedouglas/1849 in Alabama to James Skipper and Patsy Carter d/o James Carter. It appears the Skipper family left NC and landed in Henry and B. County alabama where He married Anna Jane Craddock /author/lukedouglas/1847. Their first child was Mary Jane Skipper 2-/author/lukedouglas/1848 (married Stephen D. Jernigan..moved to Texas and is buried there). Second child was William James Madison Skipper 8-/author/lukedouglas/12-/author/lukedouglas/1849 (my gg grandfather) married Martha Ann Lucas 2-/author/lukedouglas/187/author/lukedouglas/1 in À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Alabama. Moved to Texas after /author/lukedouglas/1874 then to Bienville Parish La. where they are buried.
I am trying to determine
- EXACTLY who( which James) his parents were Dates of Birth and Death. I know for certain James Skipper married Patsy Carter and these are his parents BUT… Which James Skipper and what happened to him and Patsy.
- His brothers and sisters
- His father-in-law, William Craddock and Thomas are administrators of his estate and care of the children.
- Patsy CarterR/author/lukedouglas/17;s father was James. I know he fought in the civil war as did many James Skippers.
