    James Skelton. a gentleman of wealth and social prominence, was living in St. James Parish, Goochland, in 1735. He married Jane Meriwether, a daughter of Francis Meriwether and his wife, Mary Bathurst, who was a descendant of the ancient family of English Bathursts. The Skelton arms are engraved on old silver- ware now in possession of the Skeltons of Kentucky, which were brought from Virginia, and is also found on the book plate of Reuben Skelton, son of James Skelton. James and Jane Skelton had issue: (1) Reuben, clerk of St. Paul's Parish, Hanover county; (2) Meriwether of Hanover county, d.s.p.; (3) Lucy; (4) Sally, who married Col. Thomas Jones of Hanover county; (5) Bathurst, who married in 1766, Martha, daughter of John Wayles, lawyer, of Charles City. He died in 1769, leaving one child, who died in infancy. His widow, Martha Skelton, married, 2nd, 1 Jan., 1772, Thomas Jefferson, who was afterward President.
