A documented descendant of Old Peter Skaggs / Martha has matched with a documented descendant of David "Long Dave" Bishop (son of John Bishop and Ruth Skaggs Bishop)/ Elizabeth Wolford and matched with a descendant of William Scaggs / Esther of Montgomery County, Virginia to form a triangulated group on GEDMatch. What this means is that there's about a 90% chance that Old Peter Skaggs, Long Dave Bishop and William Scaggs had the same common ancestor.
