"Skeesuck, Sheesuck, Schesuck, Skeezuc, Skieezup-Narragansett Tribe, Charlestown, R.I. John Skeesuck was one of the early settlers at Brothertown, and he came from Charlestown. He was born in 1746, and his name oocurs in a list of 1763. Probably Elizabeth Skeesuck, a widow with three sons in 1761, was his mother, and we think his father was John Skeesuck, a soldier in 1755.
John Skeesuck was interested in the emigration plans, and was John

Johnson's companion in 1755. He was a Revolutionary soldier in Col. John Topham's regiment of Rhode Island troops in 1775, and probably saw later service. He removed to Brothertown after the was and located on lot 26. He was a peacemaker from 1796 to 1807, and probably died in office. His wife's name was Anne, born in 1747. The following were certainly their children, and there were probably others older: I.

The emigrant was well advanced in life, however, and we think he was a brother of John Skeesuck. He received lots 43 and 48 in 1804, and at the same time lots were assigned to Simon and Bennet Skeesuck, probably the sons of John or Daniel. The estate of Daniel Skeesuck was divided in 1828, the following heirs receiving shares-Samuel Skeesuck, Sen.
