"The life of Daniel Boone," written by Lyman C Draper, LL.D., Henry, Charles and Richard Skaggs, and three other brothers were grandsons of an Irishman who fled from Ireland (Londonderry) in 1688-89, when so many of the Scotch-Irish race emigrated to the shores of the New World.
This grandfather would be Richard Skaggs.
