• Notes

  At least one other longtime Skaggs researcher has Matthew as the son of James and Mary.  I believe that James and Mary were hisgrandparents. I have seen little else to lead me to believe there were two Matthewsin Hart county of this age. Green Co. Deed Bk. 9, pgs. 500-502, dated 9 Oct,1820 "The children of James SKAGGS, jr are as given - Matthew, James, Sally PEPPER, Lydia HOOVER, Nancy SKAGGS, Wm. SKAGGS, John SKAGGS, Stephen SKAGGS, Mary SKAGGS, Moses SKAGGS, & Lettice SKAGGS. A grandson, Stephen SKAGGS is also listed as an heir. Stephenwas s/o James' son Henry SKAGGS, who evidently died before his father. Listed on the 1850 Hart County, Kentucky Federal Census.
