THE SCOGIN FAMILY

    One, Smith Scogin, was given a grant to a hundred acres of land, by the
Federal Government, for services in the Revolutionary War, this land and grant
still being in the possession of the family. It is known as "Scoggin's Hill" and
is 604 ft. above sea level, the highest place in Baldwin County. This was
settled in 1805.

    Dr. John Scogin was a surgeon in the Confederate Army. During the war, he
gave this up to accept a more urgent call, acting as Captain, then Major. His
name is now one of the few inserted among the immortals, on the Georgia monument
in Chicamauga Park, a fact the family were ignorant of until a few years ago,
when his son, Mr. John Scogin, having attended the reunion in '18 or '20, was
given the unexpected pleasure, and thrilling experience, of looking upon this;
our country's silent expression of honor and appreciation of what those brave
and dauntless soldiers did to save it.

    William, son of Smith Scogin, was born Aug. 22, 1793. Married Eliza Tiller,
Jan. 13, 1822. Their children: Sarah Jane, Mary Catherine, twins, born Aug 12,
1823; Joseph Scogin, born Dec. 12, 1826; John Scogin, born Sept. 30, 1829; Dr.
John Scogin, married Sue E. Johnson, Oct. 25, 1856.

    One child, John Scogin, born Nov. 28, 1857. John Scogin married Eulalia Kate
Webb, Jan. 27, 1881. Their children: Willie Alma, born Feb. 26, 1883; Sallie
Lorena, born Jan. 20, 1886; Caroline Tiller, born Feb. 25, 1889; Mattie Bell
Scogin, born May 29, 1892.

    Caroline Tiller married James Allen Stiles, Dec. 15, 1910. Their children:
Mary Eulalia, born Sept. 26, 1911; James Allen, born June 28, 1915.

    Mattie Bell Scogin, is the youngest daughter of John Scogin. Eulalia Kate
Scogin, married Willard Williamson.
