Effie,

I find that my Sanders family that migrated to SW MO (Greene Co MO) in
about 1841 were involved with a Scaggs family also. Henry Inman, grandson
of Sally Sanders m. Ezekiel Inman 1824 in Hardin Co. KY, had a Scaggs
witness on his marriage license. The Scaggs family also were involved
with another Sanders family here.

Just thought I would pass this sidenote on.
