William SKAGGS married Mary SIMPSON in 1778 in Virginia.  In 1780 William came to Kentucky with his family and settled in one of the three forts that were built in Green County about this time.  William's uncle established SKAGGS Station near Allendale, however, William spent some time at Pitman's Station, which is north of present day Greensburg.  William's father, I believe name Jacob, also settled nearby.  William and Mary lived at the fort until about a year later, when indians caused the three forts to be abandoned.  William took his family to the then county seat at Bardstown.  They lived there for several years and then returned back to the Green County area.

From the James PIERCE bible, we find that William had the following children:
         Elizabeth, born 19 Jan 1785
         Polly, born 27 Aug 1787
         Nancy, born 16 Jun 1789  (William's wife Mary then died)
         William, born 25 Aug 1804  (William married Polly PIERCE, 2 Sep 1802)
         Fielding, born 25 Apr 1806
         Rachel, born 27 Oct 1807
         Libby, born 27 Mar 1809
         Jeremiah, born 17 Oct 1813
         Stephen, born 13 Mar 1820
         Henry, 29 Dec 1821
         Louisa, 8 Feb 1824

(William SKAGGS or Squire SKAGGS as he was called, lived on Brush Creek near present day Allendale.  He was a magistrate and well known citizen of Green County.  A member of the Liberty Baptist Church, he is buried just west of Hwy 61 near the Jct of Hwy 566 in the SKAGGS Cem.  The tombstone reads, "In memory of William SKAGGS, Born 1754, Died 2_ August 1848."  The James PIERCE bible lists Williams birth date as 20 Dec 1757).  William SKAGGS is mentioned several times in Allen's, History of Kentucky, and Wm. is gone but never forgotten.
