---"Court case in Green Co, Kentucky (File #3871) which proves all the
relationships listed below. This case concerns property of Moses Skaggs who
was probably born about 1730 and died about 1799, intestate, in Green Co.
He had no children. The court case concerned disposition of his property,
and since it was many years after his death, almost all his sisters and
brothers were dead so his nieces and nephews were named. Probably those
nieces and nephews who had died prior to the settlement of the estate in
1836 were not named."
