Joseph L. Skiles was born near Bowling Green, Kentucky, grew up with a fair country school education, and as a young man went to Ralls County, Missouri, where he married, Jane Neal being a native of the county. He remained engaged in farming in that state until about 1855, when he brought his family to Texas in company with other settlers. They located near Dallas, the pioneer home of the Skiles family being about a mile and a half from that then frontier town.
After a few years Joseph L. Skiles took his family back to Missouri and to Ralls County, where he lived until his death, in 1867, at the age of forty-seven.
Somewhat later Mrs. Joseph L. Skiles returned to Texas with her children, and lived in the Richardson community and died in Dallas in 1911, at the age of eighty-five.
Joseph L. Skiles during the war between the states was a teamster in the Confederate army. He was a democrat, and he and his wife were members of the Methodist Church. Their children were: James H., a lawyer, who died at Dallas; Thomas Neal; John VVilliam, of Denton; Mary. who became the wife of G. H. Blewett, of Denton; and Richard T., of Dallas.
