Note:
A colorful combination of timeline, genealogical chart and map (with modern names). In two sheets. Although researched, designed, drawn, and copyrighted by Jacob Skeen, a Presbyterian, the chart is strongly associated with the Shaker Church, in particular Brother Alonzo Hollister (1830-1911) of the Shaker community at Mount Lebanon, New York. Whether the Shakers contracted for the chart or just what the relationship was is uncertain. Skeen spent 10 years developing it. Skeen Chart Co. Limited included Jacob Skeen of Lousiville; Matthew B. Carter of the Shaker community at Union Village, Ohio; Benjamin Gates of the community at Mount Lebanon; and F.M. and W.F. Pennebaker of the community at Pleasant Hill, Kentucky. Apparently superseded by a larger chart in 1891.
