North American Origins of Seventeenth and Eighteenth
Century Scroggins, Scoggin, and Scogin Families

Last updated: 19 Jan 2002

Group 3a.  Descendants of George Scroggin who remained in the Charles County, Maryland, area after the Revolution.  There is little information available about these people, other than census records, and there do not appear to be any researchers online actively working on this group.

William G. Scroggins includes some discussion of Barton Scrogin (WGS:C10), Obediah Scrogin (WGS:C8),  and Obediah's probable wife, Dorothy, in his Scroggins10 file.
