Found a document new, at least to me, which hints that Henry
Skiles may have spent some time in Cecil County Maryland living with his older brother John before moving on to Lancaster County, Penn.
"Abstracts of Cecil County, Maryland Land Records 1673-1751" by June D. Brown:
Deposition: Johannes Bubenheim, John Skuyl and Henry Styls, all of Cecil Co., appeared this day at 10am before Justice of the Peace M. V. Babber and deposed that John Crowman of this county, tailor, died last Saturday about 2 o'clock in the afternoon at the home of the widow Bayard in this county and on the 7th was interred by her and her friends at their plantation. On the 5th the deponents heard the said John Crowman declare he was very weak of body but of good sound mind and memory and that as his last will the few clothes he had should be given to ADAM LYTNER of this county and that the debt owed him by Arnold Bassett, John Chick, Robat Willson and some others should be received by Conreat Redder and that he [Redder] gave the same to him. He said his body should be decently buried. Made 8 Jul 1723. Rec: 10 Jul 1723. S. Knight, Clerk.

You will find evidence of where the Ephraim given name entered the the Skiles clan and discover another unique surname spelling variation, Tscheill.
REGINA LEUTNER, of Leacock Township was married, by the Rev. John Casper Stoever, to Wilheim Tscheill (Scheil, Skiles) 30 May 1730. The marriage record appears both in Stoever's personal pastoral record and in the records of Trinity Lutheran Church, New Holland, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The Trinity record is further annotated with the letters "m c", an abreviation for the Latin phrase more consueto that appears to mean cohabited foolishly. Her marriage date suggests that Regina was the first child born in the colonies - probably about 1711.
The Skiles family was from old Somerset County on the eastern shore of Maryland where William was born in 1701. He moved with his brother Henry to Leacock Township after their father's death in 1719. It's not known whether they spent any time near brother John Skiles who lived in Bohemia Manor at the same time as Adam Leitner. The records of Trinity, New Holland, identify Wilhem Sheil, married to Regina Leitner, as the father of a child by Magdalena Boshell, born 1 December 1737 and baptized 21 October, 1745. William died at Lancaster County in 1762.
Children: HEINRICH, born 1 January or 1 February 1731/32 and baptized at Trinity Lutheran Church, New Holland, Lancaster County in February of that same year. Sponsors were Heinrich Scheill Jr. & Elisabeth Leitnerin, both single.
Bests, Glenn
