Peter Scaggs was married in Montgomery County, Virginia in 1788. To my knowledge, that is the first historical record of Peter. But there are other subsequent records of him in Montgomery County:

Does the 1792 Tax List B for Peter Skaggs in Montgomery Co. identify (like 1790 tax list) the name of creeks, rivers and tributaries that Peter lived on and the names of his neighbors ?
ReplyDeleteThe only 1792 tax list I've seen was the Binn's index. An original tax list B must be out there though since that's where the index would have come from and it would likely be similar to the 1790 one.
DeleteThanks. Searching for it......
ReplyDeleteGood luck. Worst case, Library of Virginia has it on film.
