Fifth Generation


150. Abraham Skillman was born on 30 March 1782 in Amwell, Hunterdon, NJ. He died on 16 March 1859 at the age of 76 in Ohio. He was buried at Skillman Farm Cemetery in Woodlawn, Hamilton, OH. His SOA Number is 29. From Coleraine Pageant, July 1970: "...settled first at Tucker's Station. A marker showing the site of this station is placed beside the Glendale-Milford Road (Rte. 126 or By-pass 50) formerly called Skillman Road. This is on the old Skillman farm now the Woodlawn Industrial Park. The old Skillman farm cemetery, now weed-grown and almost unnoticed, is surrounded by industry. It can be found just behind the fence of Roadway Express, Inc. on the north side of Rte. 126 and Chester Road. The monument to Abraham and Abigail Tucker Skillman was still there several years ago. This was the farm of old Jacob, the Revolutionary soldier, and it is believed that he lies here, also, although his stone has never been found. The old farm is now almost completely covered with industry."
