Diane, I have a copy of a sermon "preached the first Sabbath January 1875 at Scroggs field by the Rev. William C. Dunn. It is a history of the Presbyterian church and includes this about the founding of Scroggsfield. "Judge Robt. George was the first settler at Scroggsfield. He came April 4th 1809 - came from Washington Co., Pa. and resided the first year on his brothers farm on Yellow Creek, Jefferson Co. The second year he moved to Columbiana Co. now Carroll Co." The George house in Scroggsfield was a large brick home sitting on the bend in the road from Harlem Springs to Bergholz. My mother said that the house was part of the underground railroad.
