97. During most of the 19th century, the Scaggs/Skaggs name, like many other surnames, was variously spelled whichever way the person writing down the name (clerk, census taker, etc.) liked at the moment. Name spellings did not begin to settle down to the preference of the person actually holding the name until around the 1890’s, with the advent of systematic indexing of public records.
When that happened, most families in Lawrence Co., Morgan Co., and Rowan Co. settled on the Scaggs spelliing, and most families in Carter Co. and Elliott Co. settled on the Skaggs spelling. (As can be observed by doing a statewide search in the 1920 and 1930 censues.)
