Hi Cathy .. look at the 1850 census with your Cynthia Ann Skaggs in it ... hubby and I visited Bowling Green's University in KY and came home with many SKAGGS files.The 1850 census shows her born about 1819!!Are you sure this is YOUR Cyntha Skaggs that married Hiram Starr?
1850 Edmonson County, Kentucky census
Skaggs, William age 53
Skaggs, Mary age 51
Skaggs, Cyntha age 31
Skaggs, James age 20
Skaggs, John age 16
Skaggs, Lorenzo age 14
Skaggs, Malinda age 11
Skaggs, Leander age 10
Skaggs, John L. age 10 (This is Cynthia's son 'out of wedlock) Grandson of "Bluehead" Skaggs!
(I have a copy of an OLD record taken from the Bowling Green University in Kentucky that states a John R. Skaggs raised in the "Bluehead" William T. & "Polly" Mary Harrison SKAGGS household may have been the son of their oldest daughter, Cyntha Skaggs.
I show that Cyntha Ann Skaggs daughter of "Bluehead" Skaggs married a Abraham Vandal but had a child out of wedlock named John Lewis "Razorback" Skaggs before this marriage.I confirmed this with papers copied from the Bowling Green University, Bowling Green, Kentucky library:Family History files of Leander 'Lee' Skaggs and his wife Ann Raymer as remembered by "Aunt Sally" Ray Young (copies are in my files).States that Aunt Sally's mother was the daughter of an illegimate son of Ann Raymers, and that 'Lee' and Ann Skaggs raised her.'Aunt Sally' furtherrelates that 'Lee' and Ann also reared John Lewis "Razorback" Skaggs, the illegitimate son of Cynthia, who was "Lee" and "Jim Fleekins" oldest sister.
