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’.
