Benefits of Membership
By being a Sustaining Member (or Senior Member) of the Dr. Henry Skilton Family Association you will receive a copy of
the annual Reunion Report which includes an updated genealogical information including information on

Reunion Reports.
You will also receive a mailing each year informing you of the plans for the next Skilton Family Reunion.

Historical Background
Several bequests have been received and these permit THE ASSOCIATION to pay almost
all of the costs of the Reunions aside from food costs. THE ASSOCIATION is a cooperative, non-profit,
family organization. As such, it has no dues nor assessments (other than the dues paid by Sustaining Members to cover printing
and postage of Reunion Reports and Reunion Announcements). Members cannot in any way be held responsible for its activities.
From voluntary gifts, from bequests, and from the sale of books and china, a small surplus has been accumulated. There is
no possible reason why any eligible person should not apply for membership. If any descendant
of Captain James and Chloe Steele Skilton is not at present particularly concerned with family and genealogical affairs, his
descendants some day may have such an interest and they might well wish that he had had the foresight to keep in close touch
with one of the oldest families in the United States.
