Thanks to some recent digital transcription of records by the Maryland Historical Society we have discovered that a John Scaggs lived in Kent County, Maryland in 1749 and 1750.
The 1749 tax list of Upper South Sassafras Hundred lists a John Skags with one taxable. The 1750 tax list of Kent County, Maryland lists a John Scaggs with one taxable. It is likely this is the John Scaggs born in Kent County in 1721 to Richard and Grace Scaggs. This evidence would place him in Maryland in 1750.
