1222 Pg. 242
ELIZABETH SKAGGS wife of RICHARD came to Va. From Newgate, aboard
ship Forward Galley, captained by George Bucheridge.
She was sentenced to
Transportation Pg. 580
Then on p. 726: George T. Skaggs, April l74l, Ship-Speedwell or Mediterranian. I have never seen any thing about this person before & I have not found him in Maryland yet.
Didn't write down the page no. on this one. William T. Skaggs, April l74l---ship- Speedwell or Mediterranian.
Didn't write down the page no. on this one. James Skaggs sentenced to transportation for stealing sheep---l4 yrs, Sept. l755.
I don't have the info. about Mrs. Jonas Skagges. I did have but can't find it now. I think Juanita has it. I remember we talked about this family once.
Perhaps the most valuable info included in my package was source material on the 3 Skaggs emigrants - Tho Scag (Thomas Skaggs), Elizabeth Skag and Mrs. Jonas Skaggs. This info was Xeroxed from volume 3 of a huge 3-volume set entitled Passenger And Immigration Lists Index- A Guide to published arrival records of about 500,000 Passengers who came to the United States and Canada in the Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries. Each entry is sourced as to where the authors obtained info on that individual. For the above 3 people, these sources are as follows:
1. Tho Skag (Thomas Skaggs) - page 291- Early Virginia Immigrants, 1623-1666 by George Cabell Greer. Richmond, Virginia: W.C. Hill Printing Co., 1912. Reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. 1960
2. Elizabeth Skag - page 242 - English Convicts in Colonial America, Volume 1: Middlesex 1617-1775 by Peter Wilson Coldham. New Orleans: Polyanthos 1974
3. Mrs. Jonas Skagges - page 205-206 - Delaware Settlers, 1693 by Alice
