The Descendancy of Thomas Skillman of 1664

Virtually all the non-African-American Skillmans in America are descendants of Thomas Skillman who came to America in 1664 in the Nicholls expedition to wrest New Amsterdam (now New York) from the Dutch in a bloodless confrontation. He decided to stay in America, was given land on Long Island, married and raised a family that included one son, Thomas II. This Thomas had 5 sons, over 9,000 of their descendants, which include 4734 Skillmans, are listed here. To honor the Privacy of living persons, only their names are shown on this site.

Notes: Skillman genealogy data is presented as a series of Family Group Sheets starting with that of Thomas Skillman, our immigrant ancestor. The name of the head of each family is a clickable link to his/her parents. The name of each child with a family is also a link to that family. The number following a person's name is the "Record Number" in my genealogy file. Please use this number in any correspondence to me for easy identification of the person(s) you are inquiring about.

ENJOY! (the last words I heard from my mother!)
