AL, and again in 1860 Census with wife and both children; the 1870 Census for Autauga, AL shows John C. age 70, a farmer b. in NC, living with daughter Martha J. age 40, so he d. after 1870. He supposedly d. 11 MAR 1877

The following could be a clue as to John C.’s origin, from the Snell board on Genforum .com: http://genforum.genealogy.com/skipper/messages/22.html from Ruth Bloom :

‘The following story was told to me by my husband's aunt (who is no longer living):

"In the year 1770, John and Mary Shepherd (his wife) came from Scotland and settled near Charleston, SC. Being unable to speak English well enough to be understood, their name was misinterpreted and they were known as Skipper; this being a very well-known name in that section at that time. To them were born two children, John and Betsey. When quite a young man, John went to Alabama and was never heard of again. It was supposed that the Indians had killed him.

Betsey Skipper married Ira Skipper and had a daughter, Maria (or Marier). Ira died and Betsey married Peter Skipper and went with him to live in Bladen County, NC. To them were born 7 children - Ira, Peter, Daniel, Charlotte, Ellen, Havallah, and Patrick.

Peter, Sr. was a captain in the War of 1812 and taught school. At the time of his death, he was mail agent between Wilmington and Fayetteville. On one of his trips he was drowned."
