Regina Skiles

REGINA LEUTNER, of Leacock Township was married, by the Rev. John Casper Stoever, to Wilheim Tscheill (Scheil, Skiles) 30 May 1730. The marriage record appears both in Stoever's personal pastoral record and in the records of Trinity Lutheran Church, New Holland, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The Trinity record is further annotated with the letters "m c", an abreviation for the Latin phrase more consueto that appears to mean cohabited foolishly. Her marriage date suggests that Regina was the first child born in the colonies - probably about 1711.

 The Skiles family was from old Somerset County on the eastern shore of Maryland where William was born in 1701. He moved with his brother Henry to Leacock Township after their father's death in 1719. It's not known whether they spent any time near brother John Skiles who lived in Bohemia Manor at the same time as Adam Leitner. The records of Trinity, New Holland, identify Wilhem Sheil, married to Regina Leitner, as the father of a child by Magdalena Boshell, born 1 December 1737 and baptized 21 October, 1745. William died at Lancaster County in 1762.

 Children:   HEINRICH, born 1 January or 1 February 1731/32 and baptized at Trinity Lutheran Church, New Holland, Lancaster County in February of that same year. Sponsors were Heinrich Scheill Jr. & Elisabeth Leitnerin, both single.
