From the book "A Genealogical and Biographical Record of the Pioneer Thomas Skidmore " by Emily Hawley:
IV. John Skidmore of Jamaica, L.I. [son of Thomas Skidmore, the pioneer ancestor], was born in Cambridge, Mass., April 11, 1643. He married Susannah in 1663. They resided for a time at Stratford, Conn., but eventually became permanent residents of Jamaica, L.I. He was one of the original proprietors of that town, and was also the clerk of the first church, Jamaica.
The abstract of John Skidmore's will in New York County Records, dated July 9, 1680, is as follows:
"The last will and testament of John Skidmore, who through God's mercy, having my senses perfectly about me, yet not knowing how it may please God to deal with me, I commit my soul to God, and to prevent future danger, do dispose of my estate as follows:"
He leaves to his five children all his estate, in the town of Jamaica, and £50 given him by his father, Thomas Skidmore of Fairfield in New England, and directs his eldest son, John Skidmore, to recover the same. He mentions his two youngest children, Joseph and Abigail, in his will, and directs that "The black horse" given by my wife to the four sons "be equally divided between them." His will was made February 15, 1678/79.
The will was proven at Jamaica July 9, 1680. In the inventory of his property occur the following items:
"The housing and land at home, £60 ; the land and meadow at Hayters, £20 ; the ten-acre lot and other land, £20."
His wife died before her husband, but was living July 22, 1675.
