This record was in the notes sent to me by Sharon Pack of Springdale, AR; I cannot account for discrepancies in the dates, but keep in mind the tendency to name family members after aunts/uncles, etc.. Further notes indicated they had 6 children so one is missing or died/dead at birth. Mary Ann is the daughter of John and Mary Anderson Skillern; she is of Revolutionary stock.
