Rev. James Skaggs, who joined Liberty Baptist Church in 1802, was the son of Old James Skaggs of Skaggs Station. He moved his membership from Liberty to Lynn Camp Church prior to his death in January 1814. Rev. William Downs said of him: "I have no doubt but James Skaggs, was a man who supported as unspoiled a character as any other man upon earth, and was perhaps, as much esteemed by his neighbors. His independence in religious sentiments, were not exceeded by any preacher."
