Obituary has errors:
He was actually survived by 4 daughters and 2 sons; and Abraham Skinner was sister Huldah Stull Skinner's husband, Sylvester was his brother and her brother in law.
While the article discloses that 4 children preceded him in death, the only one we know of is Thankful Ann Stull. All of his other children, identified through census reports, survived him.
