The Skaggs family Y-DNA project is looking for descendants of a Skeggs from the Nashville, Tennessee area. Male descendants of Thomas Leonard Skeggs (1810-1880) are needed to take a Y-DNA test to identify how this Skeggs family line fits and where they come from.
The Nashville Skeggs family line can be traced back to Maryland, to Leonard Scaggs and Sarah Rice married 30 November 1802 in Frederick County, Maryland. Thomas Leonard Skeggs died in Nashville on 27 July 1880. The Y-DNA project needs testers from this Skeggs family line to determine how they fit with other Skaggs family groups. Also, it would be interesting to see if this family group also descends from the Isle of Man with Viking heritage like several other Skaggs families. Yes, I'm serious. Skaggs Vikings.
If Skeggs male descendants of Thomas Leonard Skeggs are interested in participating in the Y-DNA project, please consider signing up for Y-DNA testing at the project link below. You can test with the Big-Y or several less expensive Y-DNA tests that are available. Please reach out to the Group Administrator for help choosing which test to take. Remember, Y-DNA testing is men only.
