1613 HEARLDS VISITATION OF HUNDINGTONSHIRE
JOHN SKEGGES family recorded
1620 RICHARD & HENRY SKAGGS probably born ca. this time. First show up in records in America in 1642.
==========================================
1 BUSSEL /RUSSELL? SKAGGS
b. Ca. 1630-1640 Came from Derry, Providence of Ulster Ireland.
He could be a missing link between Richard b. 1620 and William b. l674.
(Juanita Lutrell thought a mistake may have been made and this name should have shown up as RUSSELL, no proof.)
2 THOMAS SKAGGS
b. Ca. 1665‑1670 Ireland
Came to Maryland, then to Va. Ca. 1700. Possibly then to NC or SC.
THOMAS SKAGGS left Ireland after siege of Londonberry l688‑1689.
He had 7 sons. It was stated in Draper Manscripts that the Longhunters were 6 Skaggs brothers and grandsons of an Irishman,
THOMAS SKAGGS who fled from Ireland to Maryland after siege of land.
They lived ripe old ages, by Burdette and Berley, “Longhunters Skin House” Filson Club Quarterly Vol V. Pg. 179.
2 JAMES SKAGGS
b. Ca. 1700 on a ship to America
d. 1776-1781 Virginia
m. ca. 1723 RACHEL MOREDOCK There is some question as to whether her last name was MOREDOCK.
Some think she is daughter of Abraham Moredock. In the Lacefield family, there is mention of a Moredock
Indian. Many of the sons do not have last names for their wives. They could have been from Indian descent.
Brothers AARON, RICHARD, JAMES, MOSES, wives last names unknown. Some say it’s because they were Baptist
and not allowed to practice and maybe marriages not recorded.
