The Mystery of Richard Wade Skaggs

Back in 2014 there was a request on the Ancestry message boards for information about a Richard Wade Skaggs from Western Kentucky.  He supposedly was born in Louisiana and grew up in Kentucky and appears to have ties to a Richard Wade and Mary Ann Skaggs who are found in Louisiana shortly after it was turned over to the United States.  What's really interesting for Skaggs researchers are the lawsuits filed in 1836 against a bunch of Skaggs including this Mary Ann Skaggs and her husband Richard Wade.  The details are below the fold.
