Back in colonial Virginia there was an Aaron Skaggs who many researchers believe was one of the Long Hunter brothers. He died prior to 1800 so he would not have necessarily been considered in the Moses Skaggs court case later in the 1800s. Anyway, this Aaron had two sons, Henry and Aaron, who were brought up on adultery charges in Washington County, Virginia in 1781.
Peter Skaggs is a common ancestor for many Skaggs, Scaggs and Skeggs families throughout the United States. This site exists as a single point of contact to encourage researchers to work together to uncover his place in their family histories.
Are Richard Scaggs and Sarah Selby Buried Here?
There was a Scaggs family in Prince George's County, Maryland beginning about 1750 on a farm called "Chew's Folly." I posted about this family here. Several family members appear to be buried in a family cemetery in present-day College Park, Maryland.
