Hopkins Skiles b. Nov 12, 1797 d. May 20, 1872 Buried at Emmmitsburg Presbyterian Church, Emmitsburg, MD
wife Letitia Hoffman d. July 20, 1859 also buried at Emmitsburg Presbyterian Church
Thomas A. Skiles d. May 29, 1847 buried Emmitsburg Presbyterian Church.

Hopkins Skiles and Letitia Hoffman Skiles
children were:
Martha Jane Skiles b. 1828
William Skiles b. 1832
George Davis Skiles b. 1834
Sarah Ann Skiles b. 1837
Perry Skiles b. 1839
Samuel M. Skiles b. 1841
John W. Skiles b. 1843
James Alonzo Skiles b. 1845
Albert Skiles b. 1850 (St. Joseph Missouri 1880 Census lists him as a grocer)

Martha Jane Skiles b. March 17, 1828 in PA, and died Nov 30, 1918 in Seattle, Washington.

Martha Jane Skiles married Joseph P. Troxell (Troxel) in Emmitsburg, Frederick County, Maryland
Their children were:
Winfield Troxell b. 1853 (grocer in 1880 St. Joseph, Buchanan, Missouri census)
Henry Troxel b. 1858 (bricklayer in 1880 St. Joseph, Buchanan, Missouri census)
After Joseph P. Troxell (Troxel) died, Martha Jane Troxell married Abraham F. Stein apothecary / druggist on December 23, 1867. A.F. Stein was from Tennessee.
Their son was John Richie Stein b. 1869 Emmitsburg, Frederick Co. Maryland (my great grandfather)

I am interested in A.F. Stein, Abraham Stein b. 1841 in Tennessee. He was in the 1870 Census Emmitsburg, Frederick Co. Maryland:
A.F. Stein, drugist b. Tennessee
Martha Stein, keeping house b. Maryland
Richy (John Richie Stein) 2 yrs old b. Maryland
Winfield Troxel 16 yrs works on a farm b. Maryland
Henry Troxel 19 yrs Works on a farm b. Maryland
Hopkins Skiels 72 yrs Farmer b. Pennsylvania

In 1880 Census Martha Stein is widowed. I would appreciate any information on the Steins in Tennessee about 1840. A.F. was born in 1841.
