I am a direct descendent of A. A. McLAughlin and Asiah Skilman. I was searching thru the archivess hoping to find a buried gem when I found your e-mail to David Roberson. I have a copy of the original marriage record from Greene Co., Tenn. and her name is definitely spelled Asiah. I have a copy of a deed she signed late in her life (1840) and she spelled her name Asia. I wonder if the pronunciation was Ah-zi-ah or Az-ya? I have seen her name spelled by others as Achsa and Azziah, but I have never seen her spell it that way.
