General Notes: Husband - William Skelly

---

He was born in Ireland and emigrated to America when about 12 years of age. He was a member of Capt. Markle's infantry company of Westmoreland County, which served in the war of 1812. He was called out, but resigned on account of ill health, and his place was taken by his brother-in-law, Joseph Byerly.

He was born about 1784, and was therefore six years old when brought to America. He served with credit in the war of 1812. Subsequently he became the pro­prietor of a hotel and also engaged in farming. He resided at Stewartsville, Irwin (then Tinker's Run), Jacksonville, Grapeville, and Adamsburg.
