Dr. Rev. Ezekiel Skinner




He lived a very interesting life.  He left the church in Eastford in 
the
1830's to fulfill his son's position as missionary in Liberia...his son 
fell
ill and passed away shortly after arriving in Liberia.  So at 55, 
Ezekiel
went there, became dr., rev., missionary and temporary GOV.
Then he returned to Windham cty to continue his church/medical duties.
He was also a botanist (I have 1 of his 150+ year old dried plant 
specimen.)
While in Liberia he identified what he believed was a new species of 
animal,
and received a certificate from a prestigious organization for his 
work.
