He was born 11 June 1686 in France. Or he was born in Essex, France,or he was born Bordeaux, Gironde, France.
He married Leventje Vandercook about 1723.
He married Ruth Fuller in 1766 in Whitehall, Washington County, New York.
I would love to update and give you the Family History of Old Henry Francisco .
Looking for original information regarding early residents of Skenesborough. There must be records that Philip Skene kept regarding his tenants - or were they all burned when his property was confiscated?

Great site home away from home. Enjoy visiting relatives and my birth place.
Grew up in Lyon Mountain until family moved West to Mn. Played sports in Lyon Mountain and Mr. John Kowalowski always had a uniform for me when we came back in the summer to play baseball. Played sports in high school and college in Mn. Worked in the mines as a maintenance supt following the family footsteps in mining. Started a business of our own for several years and then sold it. Married with five children and nine grand children. Really enjoyed reading some of these notes and messages from other former residents. Made the best decision in my life when I became a Christian. Made a trip back to Lyon Mountain a few years ago to visit relatives and friends and enjoyed it immensely.

Hi, Mary. It just so happens we have been working with the Historical Society of Whitehall to make the book, "Philip Skene of Skenesborough" (1959) by Doris Begor Morton, available again. The book does contain a list of Skene's tenants (not all, but around 200) and discusses some of his agents as well. We expect the book to be available for sale later this month. You can view it here: http://books.bloatedtoe.com/philip-skene-of-skenesborough/.
