Family of Samuel Marshall Scoggins 1845-1931
Some of this is conjecture, some is off of census records, and I'm hoping there is someone who can prove/disprove what I have found.
Samuel M(arshall) Scoggins b. Sep 1845 AL, died Aug 12 1931 Polk Co., TX.
married Demaris Scoggins (I believe they were first cousins) b. 1845 AL, on Oct 28 1869 in Nacogdoches Co., TX.
children listed in the 1880 Houston Co., TX census:
Eugenia b. ca 1870
Susan b. ca 1872
Sarah b. ca 1873
Ella b. ca 1877
children in the 1900 Stonewall Co., TX census:
Joseph b. Jan 1885
Elzira D. b. July 1886 md. Benjamin R. McDonald
Richard T. b. Apr 1888
Samuel is listed as a widower in 1900, I don't know when his wife passed away, and I wonder if there were other children born between 1878 & 1884?Elzira is the only child that we know the name of her spouse.Mrs. B. R. McDonald is listed on a page of Samuel's Civil War Pension papers.He was a Pvt. in Co C, 25th LA Infantry.1910 & 1930 census' has him listed without other family members, and I cannot find him in a 1920 census, yet.
Is it possible there is a Scoggins/Scogin researcher on the board that might have more information on this family?
TIA, r. unrein
