  	MARRIAGE: Date: Sat, 6 Jun 1998 20:30:28 -0400 (EDT) From:  "Michael D. Warren" To: SKAGGS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: William "Squire" SKAGGS My great-great-great-great-grandfather was William Skaggs as follows: William Skaggs b. 20 Dec 1757, Horse Pasture, North Carolina, m. (1)1778, Mary Simpson, b. 1760, m. (2) 2 Sep 1802, in GreenCounty,Kentucky, Polly Pierce, b. 25 Jul 1784.  William died 20 Aug1848, GreenCounty, Kentucky.  William was an "indian spy" (i.e scout)for theVirginia Militia during the Revolutionary War. He was an earlypioneerinto Kentucky and is buried just north of Allendale in Green County KY. Some of his exploits are discussed in Allen's "A History of Kentucky"."A History of Kentucky" also talks about "Squire" Skaggs, and itimpliesthat they are the same person.  I have also seen the genealogy work ofothers that says that this William and "Squire"  are the same person.However, I have never seen any document that clearly states that this WilliamSkaggs and "Squire" Skaggs are indeed the same person.  Some have also said that he was known as "Captain" (maybe the Corn Stalk Militia???). If anyone has located documentation that would prove this, Iwouldappreciate a description of the source(s).  Thanks, Mike Warren
