Skilton Records
DEATHS 1783-1816
James A. Skilton, of New York, writes concerning these records :
"The following twenty-three pages contain a copy of the list of deaths found in the account book of James Skilton of Watertown, Connecticut, a grandson of Timothy Judd, Esq., on the first page of which the following entry is found :
'James Skilton's Book bought January 7th 1802. Price 91 Cents. 6/.'
"This book contains farm and other accounts of James Skil- ton down to 1848, later accounts of George F. Skilton, and also what purports to be a copy of 'Timothy Judd Esqr's bill of mortality for Westbury, now Watertown, beginning with the first person buried Anno 1741 in March,' covering ten and a half of the long pages of the book, and containing the names of 482 persons, duly numbered. The list of which the following twenty-three pages are a copy, contains the names of 580 persons-on thirteen pages.
"As is strongly apparent to me, the whole of the earlier list is written in the hand-writing of Dr. Avery J. Skilton. Of the later list the entries down to, and including the words 'Account kept by James Skilton from Jan. Ist 1813,' are also in his handwriting, and some of the others down to No. 576 seem also to have been written by him. When these records were so copied, or from what originals, I am unable to learn. The copying must, I think, have been done prior to 1848, for I am not aware that he was ever in Watertown after that date; and not earlier than 1841, when he was there on his long trip with the horse Prince, when I was with him.
"Perhaps it was later than 1848 on further reflection, for I am told he did go to consult with the doctor in charge of Grandmother at some time, and I think he then visited the 'Yellow house,' found one of the silk, high-heeled slippers in which Tabitha Avery was married and took it to Troy where

it was burned in the great fire of 1862; as he also did the original deeds and papers in his scrap-book. I doubt if he saw the small Timothy Judd record, and copied from that, since the two differ materially.
"He was early interested in the Watertown Mortality record printed by Rev. N. S. Richardson, and had a copy of it in his library, which I now have. Perhaps further examination and inquiry will furnish further explanations. The original small copy, which is evidently in the handwriting of Timothy Judd, came to, and belongs to, Geo. F. Skilton, from Aunt Tabitha. The James Skilton account book also belongs to him. And it contains items of interest outside of the mortality record therein.
"As will be seen on comparison, the two lists above men- tioned are more full than the Richardson list as printed; there are some variations of names and dates, and valuable items on genealogical subjects appear in them.
"I am informed by Mrs. Richardson in a letter received from her in August last, from Bridgeport, that she knew of no originals now in existence, either of the Judd or Peck mortality record, but remembered that her husband depended largely upon recollections of reliable old people and upon family Bibles and other family records.
JAMES A. SKILTON.
"New York, Sept. 26, 1889."
Under date of March 25, 1895, Mr. Skilton writes: “I am glad to know that the Timothy Judd record has already been of material service not only to you, but to others. I wonder if there are not other mistakes of a similar character in the printed Watertown record? I know there are many omissions, and especially of genealogical details. Your letter again suggests what I intended to do when I found the original record in 1888, to wit, to have the whole thing photolitho- graphed, and spread the copies abroad for the use of geneal- ogists generally.
"You perhaps do not remember that I at last found the burial place of Timothy Judd in the Northfield cemetery, not

The Congregational Church Records are missing to about 1785. The deaths are given from May 25, 1785, but without dates until "Jan. Ist, 1786," some of which seem to be dates of burials. Where the record of the Church adds anything to, or differs essentially from the following record, it is given in parentheses.
