2.. Charles H Six's father was WILLIAM DANIEL SIX who moved to Missouri from as far as I can tell from PA. or IL. He was a butcher and farmer probably in the Joplin, or St. Joseph MO. areas. He had children Charles H. Ruby, and Vadie. (Unable to find info.) His father was also called William.
3. WILLIAM SIX came to PA. date unknown but was considered well to do at the time. Mainly because he owned 17 oxen. Believed he moved to IL. pehaps on to MO. (Unable to find more info).
4. Ancestors on my mothers side: DAVID R. SKINNER (my grandfather b. 1889 in Davis Co., IA; d. 1950 in Ottumwa, IA. Believe his father was a GEORGE WASHINGTON? SKINNER.

David and Io had 3 children, Margaret, Ruth and Virgil. (Need info. on SKINNER, NIDEY, POTTORFF Surnames).
