SCRUGGS -
I am looking for an Edward Scruggs born in Virginia in 1795. I have not been able to find anything about his except that he moved to Tennessee. I cannot find parentage for his. I of course have no idea what county he was from. I have tried every avenue I know to follow, but I can find nothing. I know there are many, many Scruggses to be found in Virginia. But I have been unable to find my limb. If you have anything in your Archives, I would greatly appreciate knowing anything about Edward. Thanks,

NICHOLAS -
I would like to know if you have any thing on the father of William Solomon Nicholas born about 1814 -1817 in Virginia. I believe it to be in Cabell County, West Virginia, of course it would not have been Cabell County back then. Or not even West Virginia. In the 1880 census it lists his father as being born in England. Of course it didn't give a given name. Would appreciate any thing you can find on this man. Thanking you in advance.
