    Biography from Find A Grave

    He was born* and raised in the area of Little River, a branch of New River in southwestern Montgomery County, Virginia. The son of Henry (the famous Long Hunter) and Mary Thompson Skaggs, he spent his youth in this area and learned the values and traditions of a well established and prospering community.

    After the Revolution (c.a.1784), Solomon's father, Henry, and his uncles, Richard, Charles, James (a part-time long hunter brother), and their families, sold their personal property and landholdings and moved further west into the region of the Holston and Clinch River Valleys of Washington county (later Russell County), Virginia.** They knew the area very well as the families had hunted and lived in that part of the country off and on for many years. They were familiar with the valleys of the Big Sandy, the Louisa (Levisa), and the Tug Rivers of eastern Kentucky and what is now western West Virginia. Henry, with his long hunter brothers, Charles and Richard, had hunted and trapped on the Cumberland and Green Rivers of south central Kentucky for years, developing a love for that part of the country which never left them. They made their plans, and eventually settled there.

    In all the moves, Solomon and Rhoda were there beside them--all the way to Green County. Very little is known about Solomon and his wife. From what I generally understand about them, is that they were a frontier family intertwined with the traditions of the long hunter/farmer. Henry Skaggs and his brothers were primarily hunters, and it is unlikly that they would involve themselves in the pursuit of farming, etc. Hunting was much more profitable and the path to greater prosperity. There is no evidence I have seen which indicates Soloman was a long hunter, but he probably did hunt and farm on a small scale while managing the operations of his parent's landholdings and hunting business.

    Husband of Rhoda Unknown-Solomon married Rhoda c.a.1787, probably in Russell County, VA. There are no early marriage records (licenses or bonds) available in Russell County today.

    Solomon and Rhoda were the parents of Nancy Ann, Wesley, Sylvia, Robert, Margaret, Susannah, Marian, and John Wesley.

    After his father died (Henry Skaggs made his will in 1809 and passed away within the next year), he and Rhoda along with their family, including their daughter, Nancy Ann and husband, Thomas Wadsworth, moved to Warren County, Tennessee prior to the War of 1812. Both Solomon and Thomas are on the 1812 Warren County tax list. In November of 1814, Thomas enlists in the West Tennessee Militia for 6 months in Capt. William Mullens Company of Milita from Davidson County, TN. After the war, Solomon and Thomas probably returned to Green County, KY. In 1816 and 1817, he sells his property and disappears from history.***

    Solomon probably died between 1817-1820 in Green County, KY, but I am not positive if he died in Kentucky or in Indiana. He may have died enroute to Indiana. It is just not known for sure at this time. His wife, Rhoda, and the rest of the family are living in southern Indiana in the Lawrence and Orange County area by 1820. The names of Rhoda (Rodus) Skaggs, Thomas Wadsworth, and Wesley Wadsworth are listed on the 1820 U.S. Population Census.
