Famous Skaggs: Ricky Skaggs

Anybody who has followed Bluegrass music or the Grand Ole Opry in the last 40 years knows about Ricky Skaggs.  His production company is Skaggs Family Records.  Here is his pedigree back to Old Peter Scaggs:


Hobert Skaggs married Dorothy Thompson
John M. Skaggs m. Pearl Mae Ferguson
Cornelius Skaggs m. Carrie Osborn
William Francis Skaggs m. Matilda Lester
Martin Scaggs m. Elizabeth Fyffe
John Scaggs m. Mary (Polly) Judah Woods
Peter Scaggs m. Martha Cothon

The Martin Scaggs (b. 1828) that married Elizabeth Fyffe is frequently confused with the Martin Scaggs (b. 1830) that married Susan Eldridge, whose father was Christian Scaggs, the youngest son of Old Peter.
