    I believe that Richard Wade Skaggs is listed with Steven and Sarah Skaggs in l850. He was 2l years old. He was listed as being b. in La. So, he was b. about l827. I don't know who he belongs to, if any of you know, please contact me. Mo. was a part of La. purchase and was considered La. until about l806.
    
    l850 Green Co., Ky.:
    Stephen 30 b. Ky.
    Sarah 31 b. Ky.
    Nancy ll b. Ky.
    Mary 6
    Richard 2l labor b. La.
    
    
    When he was 4l years old he md. a 2nd. time on Aug. 6, l868. At that time he lived in Taylor Co. He is listed as being b. in La. His father was b. Ky., and so was his mother. He md. Nancy Thompson. She was 24, her 2nd marriage. She lived in Taylor Co., but was b. Green Co., Ky. They were md. at Mary Underwoods.

It is therefore ordered by the court that unless the sd. non resident defendants to appear here on or before the lst day of Dec. term next and file their answer to the complainants bill that said bill will be
    taken against them as confessed and the prayer thereof decreed accordingly.
    
    Then John also sues William Skaggs & the same people are listed.
    
    I might suggest that you write to the county clerk in Green Co., Ky. and see if he can send you a copy of this law suit. It might give more info. as to how all these people are kin to Richard W. I have found that these law suits sometimes gives tons of info. Ida at the top of Texas
