Notes for THOMAS SKELTON:
The following records were obtained mostly from Earl Skelton who has a Skelton very large database. This line has not been thoroughly researched by me, I just want to find out more about this line, and if anyone recognizes anybody here, please E-mail me: princef@monmouth.com.

The following records were extracted from books, and they pertain to many different Skeltons, not just Thelma Prince's line. An asterisk* will be typed by the record if I know the person named is a member of my line.
