The following is taken from the History of Shelby and Moultrie Counties Illinois:
This is part of the write up I have in my possession:
By his marriage Skelton and Mary had the following 7 children:
Their names are: Henry, who at present is a resident of Springfield, Ills,; John who was a resident of Kansas, and was drowned while bathing in a river. He was at the time in his 22nd year. Skelton, a farmer and resident of Greenwood County, Kansas: Harriet died in her second year; George, a farmer, also a resident of Greenwood County, Kas.; Mary and Elizabeth are yet at home.
I am starting to think that this Florence is the daughter of Skelton and Grace Gleason.
I am now thinking that the Florence that married Ebin Walter Pyle is the daughter of Skelton and Grace Birkett.
I have found records for all the rest of the children and their families.

Yes Rachel,
All the evidence says so.
I am certain that the info on Findagrave caused the confusion.
George was Skelton Snr's son, but he wasn't Florence's father.
Her father was almost certainly Skelton Jnr
The Seattle link more or less proves that too.

Re Grace and some f the children in Seattle at 1910..
Husband Skelton is back in Kansas with his other son, therefore they must have been living between Kansas and Seattle as they are all found in Seattle at 1922
