Descendents of John Skilling, from Ireland in 1785

I'm looking for more information about the descendents of John and Mary Skilling who emigrated from Ireland to Portland, Maine in 1785, possibly with John's two brothers.

I'm particularly interested in his son Hugh Skilling (b. 1784, d. 1864 Lima, Ohio)'s son Samuel R. (4/10/1824-5/18/1907). I have no idea what the R. stands for but am being to think it is Raymond. Samuel married Emeline Huston (4/30/1832-2/5/1907) in Lima, Ohio on 6/17/1852. I have little information on Emeline and her family except her parents were John and Jane. They had the following children according to my grandfather, Wesley Elbert Skilling (7/12/1908-8/30/1988):

Rachel Catherine 5/26/1853-?
Mary Ida 12/25/1854-?
John Elden 5/17/1857-7/31/1881
Charles Edwin 4/12/1859-3/8/1923
William Hugh 10/8/1863-8/8/1944
- my g-grandfather - buried Greenwood, MO
James Harvey 10/8/1863-?
Samuel Ray 11/3/1864-11/26/1910
Edgar Bell 1/8/1867-2/13/1889
Minnie Bell 4/16/1869-8/18-1879
Frank Herbert 4/30/1871-?
Emma Myrtle 7/24/1874-2/28/1875

Someone else had Samuel married to an unknown woman with whom he had Kate, Ida, Raymond, Harvey, Frank, and William.

I'm also looking for more information on William Hugh's other sons and descendents:
Wesley Elbert (see above)
Robert 8/18/03-2/23/90
Walter 6/13/05-1/22/98
Harry 12/12/1893? - ?
Howard 7/27/1900? - ?
Harvey
Clarence
Charles
Floyd
Also, please see my other e-mail asking for information on whether my ancestors are related to the Skillings in Maine and Missouri.
Thanks so much!
