Skipworth Descendants Visit the Archaeology Lab

Skipworth’s Addition is a highly significant 17th-century archaeological site near Galesville in Anne Arundel County. It was the home of George and Elizabeth Skipworth (also Skipwith/Skipwirth) from 1664 to 1682. The Skipworths were early settlers to the area and were influential figures in the local Quaker community. Recently, the Anne Arundel County Archaeology Lab hosted Jamie Beane Joyner, George Skipworth’s 8th great granddaughter, along with her husband Ernie and daughter Bliss.  Lab Director Jenn Babiarz showed off some of the archaeological collections from Skipworth’s Addition to the Joyners, who visited all the way from Mississippi!
