David Skeeles

In my (Amy Joy) direct line we have David Skeels/Skeeles. Born in Little York Ohio currently an unincorporated community in Butler Township, Montgomery County, Ohio. Its on the east bank of the Stillwater River, at the intersection of Little York Road and Meeker Road. Little York was platted in 1817 by Andrew Waymire. A post office called Little York was established in 1824, the name was changed to Littleyork in 1895, and the post office closed in 1901. Besides the post office, Little York had a mill and distillery. So David's father, Isaac was there for one reason or another at that time prior to moving to Jefferson County.

I've found it odd my Grandfather, Richard A Anderson Sr., had more memories of His Grandmother's Family than of his Grandfather David Skeeles. Another conundrum was the year of death. All other records say 1926, but the certificate is dated 1924. It would appear there was confusion resulting from the filing date of the certificate in October 1926.=
