419. Sarah Elizabeth8 Skelton (James R.7, Ralph6, Jacob5, Wm4, John3, John2, Wm1) was born 26
Oct 1848 in Vincennes, IN, and died 1 Jan 1916 in Success, Clay Co, AR. She md George
Washington Asher 25 Oct 1866 in Gibson Co. IN. He was born 13 May 1844 in Green Co, KY, and
died 26 Jul 1918 in Success, Clay Co, AR.
According to research by Terry O'Connor, Sarah's parents were James R. Skelton and Mary Dorinda
(Running Doe), the daughter of Chief Smoke, an Ogala Sioux chief. This does not match
information found previously, so more investigation is needed.
George was a veteran of the Civil War, serving in the 65th Indiana Volunteer Infantry.
He and Sarah were on the 1870 Indiana Census, but in Illinois in 1880 and 1890. By 1900, they were
in Ripley County MO.
George stated on his pension application that he lived with James D. McClain in Gibson Co. IND
before he enlisted. On the 1860 Indiana Census in the McClain household, he is listed as George
ASHWORTH, 16, and his sister, Louisa ASHWORTH, 12. The McCain’s may have been relatives,
but may have just taken in 2 orphaned children. They received money from the county for keeping
them.

of Humphreys Co, Tn, where he was reared and where he received a fair education in the common
schools. H e is the son of William and Martha (Skelton) Biffle, the grandson of Nathan Biffle, and
the great-grandson of Jacob Biffle, who came from Germany many years ago. To William Biffle and
wife were born six children, B. B. Biffle being the eldest. He left his native count y at the age of
twenty-one years, or in 1879, and made his way to Clay Co, AR, where he started a store in
Greenway, and, although a young man, he was the first to engage in merchandising at that place.
After that, in connection with his store, he was for some time occupied in running a stave mill, but in
September, 1888, he was elected to the office of sheriff, and then closed out the milling and stave
business, to give his undivided attention to his official duties. He fills that position in an able and
efficient manner, and to the satisfaction of all concerned. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity,
of the Blue Lodge and Chapter. For his companion in life he chose Miss Ella Turner, daughter of
Thom as Turner, of Tennessee. He and Mrs. Biffle are members of the Methodist Church.
