Skaggs Pioneers in Alabama

Back before there was an Alabama, there were Skaggs pioneers in the area known as the Mississippi Territory.  First there were the Skaggs intruders on Indian land, part of the Sims Settlement, who the government ran off the land in 1810.  But that wasn't the last of the Skaggs in the Mississippi Territory.

A Family of Early Ohio Scaggs Pioneers

Most Ohio Skaggs settlers moved over from Kentucky sometime in the mid-1800s.  Many of these Ohio Skaggs are descendants of Old Peter.  I was recently shown a Scaggs family with a completely different and somewhat unexpected origin, apparently Maryland in the 1790s.
