NOTE: The 1907 Massachusetts marriage record gives the groom’s parents as Washington Skillin and Sarah L. Hale; they are not added as people here (single index entry). The bride appears as Hazel Mimmie Morrill (1907), Hazel M Morrell (1908 birth index), Hazel Minnie Morrill (1917 birth index) and Hazel M Skillin (1920, 1930 censuses): spelling drift on one woman. Elinor E., born 11 May 1914, is absent from the 1920 household and her fate is unresolved. Madeline E. (age 9 in 1930, not in the 1920 household) is taken as a later child, distinct from Elinor; the 1930 census is the only record naming her, so her birth is graded QUAY 1 and needs independent verification: a Maine birth or later record. needs independent verification: Edward Hale Skillin’s birth ABT 1886, Cape Elizabeth (derived from age 21 at marriage) — a Cape Elizabeth, Maine birth record naming parents Washington Skillin and Sarah L. Hale. needs independent verification: Willard M. Skillin’s birth ABT 1912 (derived from census ages 8 in 1920, 18 in 1930) — a Maine birth index entry, Portland, c. 1911-1912. needs independent verification: Ruth E. Skillin’s birth ABT 1915 (derived from census ages 4y3m in 1920, 14 in 1930) — a Maine birth index entry, Portland, c. Sep-Oct 1915.
