About Rachel Skaggs

Only child. Was orphaned at a young age. (Both parents died in 1700.) Tip to researchers: look for guardianship records for her.

Problems

This profile needs work. Some issues:

  1. Rachel currently has two husbands, one of whom appears to be her father-in-law.
  2. It gives Maryland as the her marriage location, but VA would be more plausible, especially since all of her children (except Aaron) were born in VA.
  3. If Aaron was born in SC, he's probably not her son.
  4. It's unlikely that Rachel gave birth at ages 47 and 49.

Conflation

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Skaggs-42

Susannah and Rachel Moredock are often recorded as the same person. They are not, Susannah Moredock married James Skaggs born abt. 1735. Rachel Moredock married James Skaggs born abt. 1700. It is unclear if James Skaggs in this record is the son of James Skaggs Sr. and Rachel Moredock. The birth dating and familiarity with the Moredock family make it very possible.

U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900 [3] at Ancestry.com have been taken from family trees at the LDS and are a notoriously unreliable source of information. There are no sources for Rachel's name being either Susannah or Moredock other than a myriad of family trees without any other supporting sources. These names are modern myths. She is found in only a few records and simply as Rachel. If anyone has legitimate sources, I challenge them to bring those forward.[7]
