Mary Ann Skaggs 
Mary was born in 1787 in Kentucky.1 Mary's father was James Skaggs and her mother was Nancy. Her paternal grandparents were James Skaggs and Mary. She had six brothers and four sisters, named Matthew, James, William, John, Moses, Henry, Sally, Lydia, Nancy and Lettice.General Notes
I believe that this individual may be the mother of Richard Wade Skaggs though there is only minimal circumstantial evidence at this time.
