THE HISTORY OF TUSCARAWAS COUNTY, OH (CHICAGO: WARNER, BEERS & CO., 1884), p.957.
THOMAS B. SKEELES, farmer, P. O. Sherodsville, Carroll County, Ohio, was born in Carroll County December 27, 1823, and is a son of Isaac and Harriet (Belknap) Skeeles, the former a native of Maryland, the latter from near Smithfield, Jefferson County, Ohio. His father was a farmer and came to Ohio in an early clay, dying at the age of eighty years. Our subject obtained his education at the common and the high schools of Carroll County, and was a teacher for several years. In 1846, he was united in marriage with Miss Ann Rebecca Smith; she was born in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, April 21, 1825. Her father. H. W.

F. Leggett: Oreta S., married to S. A. Lamasters; and E. M., at home. Our subject has resided in this county for about fifty years. He was raised in a family of eight children: his brother David, now a resident of Idaho, was a Captain and subsequently a Major during the late war. Mr. Skeeles has served his township as Trustee, and was Enrolling Officer of Warren Township.
