Skene was the founder of Whitehall.
Map of Wood Creek 1765
For 12 years Mrs. Morton gathered information concerning life and activities of Philip Skene, the founder of Skenesborough settlement, now known Whitehall. This biography has been prepared from the depth of that knowledge and sympathy with Philip Skene - that she may set the record straight and provide the background for an understanding analysis of one of the prominent citizens of our colonial period whose achievements were so outstanding that even his espousal of an unpopular political affiliation could not obliterate his place in history.
