Ginny & Skaggs listers,
I'm pasting an outline of what I have for the first four generations of
the descendants of Jacob Skaggs and Frances. This Jacob is the son of
James Skaggs and wife Rachel. I have that he died prior to 1810 because
he never appeared in any of the Green Co., Kentucky censuses. However,
William Skaggs, son of Jacob and Frances, and his wife, Margaret Hoover,
and their family were in Tennessee around 1808-1810. My GGGGgrandfather,
John Dover Skaggs, was born there. Where in Tennessee, I don't yet know.
I hope this comes through all right. If anyone would like I can send
them an rtf document with more detail about these people.

Right now I'm working on and editing what I have about Lydia Skaggs and
Mathias Harman's family. I'll put that on here as soon as I get it
complete...or atleast presentable. There is so much really incorrect
information floating about on World-Connect. Sometimes I fear that we
have created a monster! I'd be happy to learn about Jacob running off to
Tennessee. Frances gave a deposition in 1836 and she stated that "she
considered herself to be the widow of Jacob Skaggs." The unusual
phrasing there does lend to the idea that perhaps he ran off with another
woman. I'm all ears!
