Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.
No, Snoopysue, I bought it direct from Linda Moffatt, it's a very impressive piece of scholarship, about 400 pages, published in 2004. This is the link:
As she says on her website: "The Skidmore family is not in any danger of extinction. In the United States there are almost 4000 heads of households named Skidmore (including the less common spellings of Scudamore, Scidmore and Sidmore) with listed telephone numbers" !
