Surnames: Smith and Scroggins Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ig.2ADI/834 Message Board Post: Am interesting in finding anyone who has done research on the Scroggins or Scoggins surnames. I have some information on Scroggins and am looking to exchange data. I have both Smith and Scroggins ancestry from Jersey County, Illinois. I have quite a lot of family history and information. Let me know if we have a match and you would like to exchange info -- On the Smith side my GGGGrandfather was Jessie Smith who married a Charlotte Stewart on 9/8/1825. I do not know much more about either of them, except that family tradition is that Jessie was from Tennessee. They had three children that we know of: Robert Monroe Smith, John S. Smith, and Margaret Smith. Robert Monroe Smith married Sarah Margaret Lurton on 10/2/1858. They had three sons: Charles Andrew Smith (born about 1865), William Rameses Smith (born 2/22/1868), and Robert Eugene Smith (born 12/22/1860). I descended from Robert Eugene Smith (my GGrandfather). Robert Eugene Smith married Mary Elizabeth Scroggins (born 10/15/1868 in Fieldon, Illinois). Mary was the daughter of John E. Scroggins (born 1844 in Illinois) and Rebecca Alexander (born about 1846 in Illinois). Rebecca's father was believed to have come from Tennessee. If these sound family to you, please let me know.
