1954	William was born at 13 Doyers' Street in New York City, where his father was a tailor in the now famous five points district. Sometime after 1850 (William states it was in the summer of 1850, but the 1850 census places William and his parents in New York City in Aug 1850), the family moved to Mount Morris, New York and resided on Chapel Street. William ran away from home in 1862 with the 27th NY Regiment, since his father wouldn't allow him to enlist at the age of 18. In the 27th NY Regiment he worked under Col. Slocum as a hosteler. Again on 10 Aug 1864 William enlisted as a private in 58th New York National Guard, Company D in Mount Morris, New York and was mustered in at Elmira, New York. He was honorably discharged on 2 Dec 1864. After his discharge, William remained in New York City, New York until 1867, after which time he lived in various places throughout New York. In the 1870 census, William, then 25, had moved in with his brother-in-law Isaac Rood and sister Agnes in Castile, Wyoming Co., New York and was working as a farm labourer. Mr. and Mrs. Skillin came to Kansas in 1874 and settled one mile west of Frankfort. Mr. Skillin spent many years as a butcher in Frankfort and delivered fresh meat to surrounding towns. He was also an early day veterinarian and in later years nursed men and boys who had a lingering illness. In early times horse trading was a customary business and the Skillin farm was headquarters for horse traders. They would come in from other parts with a large string of non descript horses and would remain for about a week trading horses with farmers around Frankfort. In the 1880 census, William, 40, and Celia, 28, are found in Vermillion Twp., Kansas (near Frankfort) with their three daughters: Martha, 9, Agnes R. 5 and Jane, 2. William is working as a farmer. William, 52, and Celia, 45, remain in Vermillion Twp., Kansas for the 1900 census. Living with them are three daughters (Jane, 21, Pearl, 12 and Blanche, 7) and three sons (Isaac, 18, James, 13 and William, 5). Also with them are three grandchildren, Alexander, 10, Charlotte, 6, and Isaac, 4. The grandchildren belong to their daughter Martha, but it is not known why they are with William and Celia. In the 1910 census, William is 66 and farming in Vermillion Twp., Kansas with his wife Celia, 55, and their three youngest children: Robert, 21, Blanch, 19, and William, 16. Their grandson Isaac Dover, 16, is also living with them at this time. In 1920, William, now 76, continues to reside in Vermillion Twp., Kansas with his wife Celia, 64. William is no longer farming and is living next to his son William. On 21 Jan 1924, William fell off a step and fractured his left hip, and remained incapacitated until his death on 24 Apr 1926.	Skillin, William (I3378)
1955	William was born at the Skillin farm, which is located one mile west of Frankfort, and attended the Frankfort schools. He was an industrious young farmer in the Frankfort area and later engaged in farming in the Irving community. The Skillins lived at Frankfort until moving to Hastings, NE in 1941. In 1945, they moved to Salina, KS.	Skillin, William (I402)
1956	William was Member of the Council and Commissary Bishop of London. He was ordained in 1743 by the Bishop of London, and returned to Virginia in 1744 and was made Rector of Stratton Major Parish, King and Queen Co. (now known as Old Church). Later he was made Commissary of the Church of England	Robinson, William (I2804)
1957	William was President of the King's Council and at one time acted as Governor.	Nelson, William (I2574)
1958	William was reared upon his father's farm, receiving the usual district school education while at home, but later went to the Academy at William Center, OH. Had only been there a short time when the Civil War broke out, and feeling it his duty to repsond to his country's call, enlisted in the 111th Ohio regiment for three years. During his service he was in thirty-one engagements, many of them hard fought battles. At the conclusion of the War, he returned to his educational work at Denison University, where he spent six years in securing a classical education, graduating in 1872. The next three years were spent at the college of Physicians and Surgeons, Cleveland, OH preparing for his profession. He practiced medicin in OH and CO. He was also an examing surgeon for fifteen years and retired from active professional work in 1906.	Otis, Dr. William D. (I4776)
1959	William was wounded at 7 Pines and became captain of Artillery	Carter, William (I8253)
1960	William went with Cromwell's army to Ireland. He received from Cromwell the grant of two townships - Newtown and Gibbinstown - 21 miles from Dublin, which remained in possession of the family until about 1883.

After he was of age, Zebulon bought the first eighty acres of what is known as Jennings Hill, the consideration being a box of glass.

He afterwards added many more acres. He was a member of Captain Buell's company in the War of 1812. His commission as Lieutenant in the State Militia is dated Oct. 11, 1817. Later he received a commission as Captain. In early life he united with the Baptist church and retained his connection with that body up to the time of his death. He was an ardent abolitionist, and his house was used as a station on the 'Underground Railway.'
