Henry Skaggs, and Lucy Thompson, b. 1742, and Charles Skaggs. These Skaggs were the Longhunters of Kentucky history. Roseanny's brother, Rodden, b. 1759, is my ggg-grandfather. So "Rawdon" could be a deviant spelling of "Rodden." The children of John Thompson and Avas Unknown, as well as the marriage of Roseanny and Isham (Isam) are recorded in the Archibald Thompson Diary, transcript and index of which are posted at Doug Moore's web page http://www.public.asu.edu/~moore/archibald/archibald.html I would really appreciate anything you can tell me about Amanda Charlotte Wood and Thomas Wood. Legend has it there was inter-marriage of the Skaggs and Indians, maybe the Cherokee. The Thompsons, Skaggs and Woods were early settlers along the Cumberland River, in what is now Green, Cumberland, and Monroe County, Ky. Thanks, Jemima Gee Morse
