Please note

Based on work I have done previously and in connection with the page form the James Knox Blish "Genealogy of the Blish Family in America" [attached], This Mary Blish dau of Tristram Blish and Anne Fuller did have the children shown here, but the Joseph Skinner she was married to was born 7 Oct 1710 in Colchester, and was of Deacon John Skinner 1675-1740 and Sarah Porter, NOT the Joseph Skinner b1707 shown here. I believe Deacon John and the Joseph born 1710 were brothers and the sons of Joseph 1645-1724 and Mary Filley. See my attributions in the Ancestry public tree "BLISH-GINN-SPENCER-FRODIN"
