    3. The Janie Pace who was married to George Scroggins was Nancy Jane Pace, daughter of James Lemuel Pace and Larreta Trammell Pace. I am trying to find what happened to the descendants of Nancy Jane and George. The James M. Scroggins who is buried in the cemetery mentioned is their son. One of their daughters married a Kendley. I am also trying to find descendants of a sister of Nancy Jane Pace Scroggins, namely Harriet Ann Pace Petty and her husband John Petty. In 1870 and 1880 they lived in Haralson County but I have been unable to locate them since. If anyone knows about the Pace family since that time I would love to hear from them. Sarah You wrote: At least James and Nancy Scroggins were buried in what was called the "Scroggins Family Cemetery", surveyed in 1931 by Franklin Garrett. Cobb County, Georgia, Cemeteries, Volume II gives the following: "The cemetery was originally located in District 18, land lot 781. The graves of James F. Scroggins and his wife Nancy were moved to the Scroggins Kendley plot in the Davis Cemetery on Bankhead Highway. New markers were erected and the inscription portion of the old markers were buried with the remains." 47024 - Scroggins, Nancy - January 15, 1815 - December 30, 1903 - wife of James F. Scroggins; wife and mother; moved to Davis Cemetery May 1987 47025 - Scroggins, James F. - April 17, 1808 - March 6, 1869 - Husband and father; moved to Davis Cemetery May 1987. In the Scroggins-Kendley plot at Davis Cemetery are a James M. (1856-1912) and Lizzie Scroggins, Janie Pace, wife of George Scroggins, and an Arthur W. Scroggins, who wasn't born until 1883. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

    2. Linda Murray
    3. Gladys, In 1850, 1860, and 1870, this family is listed as white. In 1850 they were enumerated as Scroggins, in 1860 as Scoggins and in 1870 as Strogging. Cemetery markers indicate that the spelling was SCROGGINS. My copy of the 1860 Cobb County census enumeration for this family is practically unreadable. The best I can do is: 1860 Cobb County, Georgia - Coxes District - PO Marietta - August ??, 1860 - page 484 1862 - J. F. Scoggins, age 53, male; farmer; $400?/$8885; born SC Nancy, age 44, female; born SC E. D., age 20; male; farm labor; born SC* D. S., age 17; female; born SC* E. S., age 15; female; born SC* P.

From Rhea Otto's 1984 published transcription of the 1850 Cobb County census: 869 - William B. Howell, age 23; born GA Alvina J or I., age 20; born GA Sintha A. C., age 1; born GA 870 - James F.

I had been at rifle practice ever since 1862, and I kept right on practicing until 1865, when my command surrendered in North Carolina. Since that time I have been fighting for a living for my wife and children, and to educate the children. Thank the good Lord, I am still among the living, but there are so few of the old Confederates left. I will give the names of all I know living from my company and I will say here they were all volunteers. J.D. Perkinson, T.J. Perkinson, C. McKinney, T.R. Echols, William Stroud, and A.A. Griggs. There may be a few more, I can not say though. One hundred and sixty men went with the company in 1862 to the war and only six of these were at the surrender, the others being disposed of one way or another. A.A. Griggs, Co.F, 1st Confederate Regiment Ga., Volunteers, Jackson’s Brigade. (The practice of the big guns in old Cobb, with their echoes booming around the mountains, awaken memories of active and strenuous service, and the martial spirit is still alive in this old soldier. Even yet he would charge the German trenches with all the fire of youth. - Ed.) [Transcribed 10/19/05 Lynn Cunningham] Additional Comments: Griggs, Archibald A. - Private May 1, 1862. Roll for August 31, 1864, last on file, shows him present. Pension records show he was captured in Paulding County, Georgia, September 1864. Escaped and joined Co. D, 1st Regiment Georgia Cavalry September 1864. (Not found on later command rolls covering period to December 1864.) (Born in Georgia March 1, 1841.)
