A few months ago a correspondent presented me with a Skaggs mystery. I must admit I've spent some time working on it and am stuck. This mystery involves an Elizabeth Skaggs whose parents disappeared prior to the Civil War. I'm posting what information I know hoping that someone out there can piece together the puzzle of who were Elizabeth's parents.
