You ask about Ledbetter and Scroggins families. I am checking for the
Ledbetter family and I know that Henry Ledbetter's daughter, Elizabeth
married Chatum Scroggins. I would like to communicate with you on the
Ledbetter and Scroggins lines.

There is also a new book out by Ken Haughten of Los Gatis Califronia. It is
called "Ledbetters Revisited" and is about 1500 pages long with about 250
pages of index. The book sells for $40 which includes shipping. He can be
contacted at
