THE SKAGGS FAMILY AND THE SKAGGESTON COMMUNITY IN KNOX COUNTY
Knox County, in its eastern section, out the oldMillerstown Pike and near the Rutledge Pike section of the old days, once known as the old Emory Road, has a community known as SKAGGSTON. It was named for the Skaggs Family who settled there in the early days of Knox County. The name of the original Skaggs is not shown on modern records, but STEPHEN M. (Moredock) SKAGGS who was born in Tennessee and of course, in Knox County, was one of the sons of the original person of that (unknown) name. He was born in 1795 and his wife was Dorcas (McPherron). This family from Virginia were numbered among the "Long Hunters" of D. Boone.
