  Notes	James and Martha departed Liverpool, England for America aboard the ship Salem, captained by Edward Richardson. They arrived in New York City on 15 March 1828 with their one-year old son William. James and his brother Hance [Hans] first appear in Longworth's New York City Directory in 1828, both listed as tailors located at 208 Mulberry. In 1830 he had moved his business a few blocks to 107 Mott, where he ran his tailoring business until 1838. In the 1840 census, James was 30-40 years old as was his wife Martha. They were living in the New York City Sixth Ward with 1 boy and 1 girl under 5 (James, Rebecca), 2 girls 5-10 (Agnes, ?), 1 male 15-20 (William?) and 2 males 20-30 (perhaps his brothers William and John). There was also one female aged 60-70 (possibly James' mother Agnes). In 1850 James was a tailor in New York City. He was 47, his wife Martha 40 and living with them were their six children: Agnes, 19, Rebecca, 16, James, 13, Charles, 7, William, 5, and Hance, 3. Also with them are John Keeley, 19, and Thomas Elliott, 30, both tailors. The 1860 census finds James, 50, working as a tailor and his wife Martha, 42, living in Mt. Morris, NY with their two youngest sons William, 16, and Hance, 12. In the request for probate of James' will, a Charles Skillin and Minnie Skillin of White House, Hunterdon Co., New Jersey are mentioned. It is not known who these two individuals refer to. [6] (Research):James Skillin does not appear in the 1858 New York City Business Directory, so he must have moved to Mt. Morris between 1854 and 1858.
