EARLY SCAGGS / SKAGGS RECORDS:
167?, DE, Duke of York Co.: To Richard SCAGGS a certain tract of land on the

of St.

1709, MD, Queen Anne's Parish: Susanna was recorded as the widow of Aaron
SCAGGS, and md. John MOBBARLY, Sr., Feb. 28, 1716. The children of Aaron
SCAGGS and Susanna are recorded in Queen Anne's Parish as: Charles (b. Dec. 9,
1709), Moses (b. July 10, 1714), and Susanna (b. Aug. 11, 1716, 5-1/2 months 
after
her mother remarried). --Ida Lancaster e-mail, March 5, 1998.

1720s-1730s, NC, TN, VA: Our own undocumented SKAGGS family tradition,
descending from Henry's grandson, John W., through John's grandson, Alvie, says
that three brothers, David, Benjamin, and Henry, came to NC from northern
Scotland in the late 1720s or early 1730s. David went to western NC or eastern 
TN,
Henry went into VA, and Benjamin stayed in NC.

The name of James SKAGGS, believed to be the patriarch of the SKAGGS clan in
southwest VA and west-central KY, first appears in the records in August 1746
when he and other local residents were appointed to build a new road from Adam
HARMAN's to the North Branch of the Roanoke River. --Mary B. and F.B. Kegley,
Early Adventurers on the Western Waters, v.1 (Orange, VA: Green Publishers,
1980), 367; F.B. Kegley, Kegley's Virginia Frontier, v.? (Roanoke, VA: 
Southwest
Virginia Historical Society, 1938), 117; Ulysses S.A. Heavener, German New 
River
Settlement--Virginia (by the author, 1928; 1961 printing), 12.

Kegley, Early Adventurers, 367: "James SKAGGS (also SCAGGS, SKEGGS) was
one of the earliest residents on Meadow Creek, appearing first in 1749 when he
served as one of the appraisers of John ELSWICK's estate. He had lands surveyed
as early as 1751 and added other tracts on Meadow Creek and Little River by 
deed
(Chalkley, Chronicles, III, 18, 293, 321; Augusta County surveys). In 1769 
James
SKAGGS and his wife, Rachel, sold part of their lands to Henry SKAGGS and
James SKAGGS, Jr. probably their sons (Chalkley, Chronicles, III, 490). Other
tracts were disposed of to Thomas MASTIN and John PLICKINSTARVOR
(Summers, Annals, pp.668, 1671).
"In 1776 the Committee of Safety for Fincastle County recorded that Captain 
James
SKAGGS was unable to serve any longer because of his infirm state of health, 
and
Thomas INGLES was appointed to succeed him. Presumably this is James
SKAGGS, Sr. (Harwell, Committee of Safety . . . p.76).
"There is no record of a will or settlement of James SKAGGS' estate in 
Montgomery
County and so no list of children can be established. Other SKAGGS mentioned
include James, Henry, Charles, Richard, Moses, and Aaron. In the militia 
records
and tithable lists additional names appear including William, Archibald, John 
Jr., John
(Goard Head), Zachariah, Henry (son of Aaron), James (longman) and Jacob. The
D.A.R. lists Charles, James, John, and William. The 1810 Montgomery County
census only lists Joseph. Marriages for Isaac in 1787, Jeremiah and Peter in 
1788,
and William in 1825 are recorded in Montgomery County (Montgomery County
marriages; 1810 census; Kegley, Tithables; Kegley, Militia; Kegley, Tax List; 
D.A.R.
Patriot Index).
