In the 1530-1623 Surrey Visitation, p. 59, there is a family of Skinersof Reigate, five generations of them, all with the first name of Johnand only the last is dsp. It is highly likely that one of the four remaining JSs is this man, but which? The fourth John Skynner is down as dying in 1569 so this does not seem likely as his son-in-law died in 1537. Probably this rules out the third John Skinner too, for the same reason. This leaves the "John Skinner of Rigate" who married Joane, heir of Richard Caldecott of Rigate and his son "John Skinner of Rigate and of Hauering in the Bower in Essex Clarke of the greencloth" who marriedan unknown second wife. And the Visitation managed to leave out the Skinner arms...
