    Notes:

    1773: The first permanent settlers [in Tazewell Co., VA] came from Augusta and Rockbridge counties, New River and its tributaries. . . . In 1773 there were settled [among others] JAMES and CHARLES SCAGGS in Baptist Valley, five miles from site of Tazewell. --Robert Bell Woodworth, The Captives of Abb's Valley: A Legend of Frontier Life (Staunton, VA: McClure Co., Inc., Publishers, 1942), xi

    "The life of Daniel Boone," written by Lyman C Draper, LL.D., Henry, Charles and Richard Skaggs, and three other brothers were grandsons of an Irishman who fled from Ireland (Londonderry) in 1688-89, when so many of the Scotch-Irish race emigrated to the shores of the New World.

    Deposition of WILLIAM RATLIFF (27 April 1836 at the home of WILLIAM SKAGGS, Aleck Fork of Pitman Creek). I was acquainted with MOSES SKAGGS of Green County, KY. He had 4 sisters, to wit: SUSANNAH, wife of RICHARD WHIT; LYDIA, wife of MATTHIAS HARMON, ELIZABETH "Betsy," wife of JOHN HANKINS; and NANCY, wife of WILLIAM MERIDY. I was quite intimate with them in Virginia. I knew them before they married. MOSES had a brother named JOHN SKAGGS. . . I knew the brothers of MOSES SKAGGS. They were HENRY, JAMES, CHARLES, JOHN, RICHARD and JACOB SKAGGS. I knew them in Kentucky and they all raised large families.

    Deposition of FRANCES SAMPLES (27 April 1836). I was familiar with MOSES SKAGGS who died in Green County about 40 years ago.

    SKAGGS-D Digest V99 #110, 10/19/99, Henry SKAGGS' Burial Site. An AKERS researcher sent a clipping from "The Kentucky Explorer" magazine, October 1999 issue, that features an article about the efforts of the South Central Kentucky Historical Society to mark forgotten cemeteries in the area. This article has a photo of society volunteers who have placed a sign on or near the burial place of Henry SKAGGS, the Long Hunter, located on the property of former Kentucky Governor Louie NUNN, at Hiseville Park, KY. The site is in Barren Co., KY, and near Green Co., KY, where Henry SKAGGS and Charles SKAGGS' wills are filed.

    Henry SKAGGS m. Mary THOMPSON, d/o John THOMPSON and Mary (unknown). I am interested in exchanging information with anyone who might know where Henry's brother, Charles SKAGGS and his wife, Lucy THOMPSON, might be buried. Mary and Lucy are sisters of my ancestor, Archibald THOMPSON, b. 1736, who left a diary, transcripts and index of which can be seen at Doug Moore's home page at http://www.public.asu.edu/~moore

    The SKAGGS and THOMPSON families were in Montgomery and Tazewell Counties, VA, in the mid-1700s and settled in Kentucky on the Green and Cumberland Rivers before 1800.

    Lived at Slash Branch Of Little Brush Creek, KY.

    There was a grand jury indictment in Green Co. KY against him on May 5, 1795 for saying "God Damm" in the winter of 1795.
