Nelson; Skiles
I am looking for any information on Ephraim SKILES, who apprears
in the 1840 Walker County, GA census. I believe he is the same Ephraim L.
SKILES who appears in the Harrison County, TX census of 1850, and whose
son George Washington SKILES moved to Wood County, TX, where some of
his descendants still live today. In the 1840 census this family had 5 male
children and 3 female children. Family tradition says that the oldest daughter,
named Delilah, born in 1827 TN married Wilson E. NELSON, on 8
Feb 1844 and the couple settled in Texas. The rest of the SKILES family
followed her to TX, being in Harrison County, TX by 1850. I would be pleased
to hear from anyone who knows about this family. -- Bill Skiles
