Later life

Skipwith was elected to serve in the Louisiana State Senate. In December 1814, during the War of 1812, Magloire Guichard and Skipwith sponsored a legislative resolution to grant amnesty to "the privateers lately resorting to Barataria, who might be deterred from offering their services for fear of persecution." This led to
The Bonnie Blue Flaa of	^ean La^te anc* ^is men j?'n'ng in the defense of New Orleans when the city
West Florida	was attacked by British forces in January 1815.
In 1827, Skipwith, Armand Duplantier, Antoine Blanc, Thomas B. Robertson and Sebastien Hiriart received permission from the state legislature to organize a corporation called the Agricultural Society of Baton Rouge.
Skipwith died at his Monte Sano Plantation on the bluffs above Baton Rouge on January 7, 1839 at the age of 74.
