There are numerous threads from these families interwoven via DNA and genealogy into my own family.

My relationship to Scoggins and Scroggins: Am in search of a grandmother born about 1745-1755, possibly born in Virginia or the Carolinas. Settled by 1780 in the Newberry, South Carolina area. Members of the Scoggins and Scroggins are documented as marrying into our family in the generations after and before this grandmother whose name is known only as ‘Nellie’. One branch of Scoggins were indeed neighbors at the right place and time (Lott Scoggins). DNA indicates a Scoggins connection during Nellie’s lifetime. Our Nellie may be a Scoggins.
There seems to be consistency across different family lines in the surname morphing back and forth between Scoggins and Scroggins.

These gentlemen set their sights upon colonizing New Jersey, then under Dutch control, and many of them would return just over a year later with written rights (patent) to settle the land for what is now much of Monmouth County. The Monmouth Patent of April 8th, 1665 was formal recognition of the ouster of the Dutch from what is now New Jersey.
