Results
At the moment (August 2009) We have 19 sets of results. As new tests are submitted we will update this site. There are a couple of test kits that were sent out but have not been returned to the lab for processing. We encourage those who have those kits to return them to the lab as soon as they can. Thank you
Right here and now I have to apologize. I have re-sorted the chart on the "Y-results" page using a new tool they have provided to administrators. But I have been quite busy with work (plus I lost my old hard drive) and have not found the time to re-sort the 'histories' on the "results page" to match the chart thus the numbers (ie: 1,2,3 etc) have been re-sorted and they no longer match the chart. The test numbers (4 or 5 digit numbers)however should remain tied to the correct history.
I have sent out an email to the participants requesting they check, confirm, and update the information. I will get to this as time permits but if you have a question in the mean time please do not hesitate to email me. The chart on the "Y results" page is produced automatically by FamilyTreeDNA and is accurate and up to date.
In the chart on the ‘Y-results’ page you will see the results of tests as they come in. Those 'loci' in red show quicker evolution thus it is expected that the values in these locations would show more variance thus exact matching is less significant. The intro pages at FamilyTree DNA will explain things better than I can.
Below are listed the earliest proven ancestors in the lines of the DNA test donors as provided by them.
PLEASE NOTE that “earliest proven ancestors” is a term open to interpretation. What one researcher considers proven may differ from what another might accept. It is the administrator’s job to encourage participation and we accept the submissions of the participants without interpretation. When researchers differ in their interpretations of their families histories (and they will) we hope the evidence of DNA can help solve the mysteries.
Haplogroup "I1a" are most likely closely related at the earliest known ancestor in each line.
Haplogroup "R1b1" are thus also related to each other.
Sample classified as Haplogroup "R1a"seems to be more closely related to this second group but more research is needed here.
Two other samples appears to be a new haplotypes "R1b1c" and "R1a" are similar but not matching the R1b1 group and there may eventually be a connection.
The one result in the "G" haplogrouup does not appear to have any matching members at this time.
***NOTE*** WE NEED everyone to submit what they know of their earliest ancestor so we can update our information below and VERY importantly PLEASE let me know if I can list your name and email or method of contact for other researchers interested in your line.
PLEASE NOTE** These results have NOT bee re-ordered since some changes to the chart. the 5 digit number should be attached to the history but the single digit "kit number" has been shuffled by recent results and actions.**

The earliest proven ancestor of the “Scogin” lineage was Solomon Scoggin (notice the spelling). His date of birth is unknown but he is said to have been a Welshman (from Wales, Great Briton) (Editor note: the origin is not yet proven). The oldest records we have on him are found in the Pennsylvania Archives. The Archives reflect that he was a member of the Pennsylvania Militia, Chester County, in 1780, during the Revolutionary War. He is listed as assessing property for taxes in Chester County in 1785, and is again listed as a member of the Pennsylvania Militia, Chester County, in 1786. The first census of the United States, taken in 1790, lists him as a "head of family" with one male child and two females (wife unknown) in Chester County. (Spelling on this record is quite different)
Solomon Scoggin married Jane Taylor in Frederick County, Virginia on October 2, 1792.2 Sometime there after he and his family migrated west and settled in Hamilton County, Ohio.
Solomon Scoggin died in 1818 and left a Will which is probated in Hamilton County, Ohio. The Will lists his wife as being Jane, and his children as Joel, Ruben, William, Lewis, Alse, Ruth, Ann, Mary and Rachel.
This family is clearly related to Kit #2.

The oldest known ancestor for our line from a family Bible is John Beverly
Scoggin, born Dec. 18, 1809 in Tennessee. He married Cythia C. Davis
about Oct. 4, 1830, in Rutherford Co., Tennessee.
John was a Methodist
minister.
John and Cynthia's children were James M. (b. 1831), David
Clement (1833), John W. (1835), Elizabeth (1837), William P.M. (1840),
Priscilla Ingram (1843), Lee Ann (1847), and John Beverly, 1853.
David Clement Scoggin married Margaret H. Thomas in Morgan County,
Missouri in 1856. Their two children were George Mattison (b. 1857) and
Hallard Randolph Scoggin (1859). David died in 1861 in Butler, Missouri.
Hallard Randolph Scoggin was born at Altona, Bates County, Missouri. He
married CeCelia Ann Moore in 1880. Their children were Clement Barkley
(b. 1881), Mollie Frances (1883), Eliza Ethel (1885), Grover Randolph
(1887), Henry Elmer (1889), and an infant son (1895). Hallard and CeCelia
lived and farmed near Harford, Kansas.
From the book, Genealogical Serendipity, by Doliante, John Beverly
Scoggin, b. 1809, is listed as a son of John Beverly Scoggin, b. about
1784 in Pennsylvania, and Elizabeth White, b. about 1786. We don't have a
document for this birth, but accept it as being "our" John for strong
circumstantial evidence and faith in the book's author.

Isaac Scoggin was born 1799-1800 in Virginia, and died 1840-1850 in Izard County Arkansas. He married Sarah (last name unknown but possibly Walker or Webb, Marriage date and place unknown but possibly Illinois or Tennessee). She was born in North Carolina about 1785 and died in Coryell County, Texas, 1882.
They lived in NC/VA and migrated to Tennessee then to Illinois and Missouri, back to Tennessee and then to Arkansas. After Isaacs’s death much of the family including the Sarah and many of her children moved to Coryell County, Texas. They had 18 children some of whom have been traced to the present day.
Their identified children are: Henry, Jesse, Elizabeth, David, Stephen, John, James, Sarah, Rachael, Robert, Martha, Nancy and Ellen. There are three more female and two male children as yet not identified.
It is strongly believed that the father of Isaac was a Rev. John Scoggin Sr. of Washington County, Virginia and White County, Tennessee. But that is not yet proven. It is hoped this DNA study will confirm this. Descendants of this line are strongly encouraged to join the study.
Patrick Scoggin is one genealogist who is studying this line. You can find information on his website at http://members.tripod.com/jpscoggin
He is also administrator of this DNA study. jscoggin@nmsu.edu or patrick.scoggin@gmail.com

The earliest ancestor of our line with the Scoggin/Scroggins surname was John Scoggin (his name is spelled Coggin, Scogin & Scoggin in the early records). His date of birth is circa 1740 in Granville County, North Carolina. There are numerous records of him in the records of Granville, Bute, Orange and Wake Counties. The first census of the United States, taken in 1790, lists him as a “head of household” with two male children under 16 years and five females of undetermined age in the Hillsborough District of Wake County, North Carolina. His name is spelled Scoggins in this census. His wife’s given name was Mary. It is possible that her last name could have been Repps.
[Admistrators note here: Recent correspondence has suggested there are differing theories by various researhers on the term "proven" in the following paragraph.]
(2007 update) John Scoggin has finally been proven to be from the line of John Cogan (1591-1658). John Cogan’s family was of Welsh descent and had it’s origins in the parish of Cogan in Glamorgan County, Wales. The family had migrated to southwest England by the 14th Century. John Cogan migrated to Boston, Massachusetts from Devonshire, England in July 1633. Over the next 100+ years, John Cogan’s family migrated from Boston to Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to Granville County, North Carolina. During this migration the surname slowly evolved from Cogan, to Coggan, to Coggin, to Scogin, to Scoggin/Scoggins and eventually (in our case) to Scroggins. This evolution of the surname is not true for everyone named Scoggins/Scroggins. It is only true for this one particular line. This was proven several years ago by the late Dr. Don Gant Scroggins and several other researchers.
John Scoggin died between 1810 and 1816 in Wake County, North Carolina. His children’s names were John B., Repps, Smith, Charity, Leah, Sarah, Elizabeth and Polly Mary. The children’s last names are spelled both Scoggins and Scroggins in later records. His son, Smith Scoggins, spelled his last name as Scoggins as late as 1871, even though everyone else in his family was spelling it with the “r.”
Smith Scoggin’s family later moved to Hickman County (1826) and later Lincoln County (before 1840) in Tennessee; Tishomingo County, Mississippi in 1857; Decatur County, Tennessee in 1867; Scott County, Arkansas in 1876 and eventually to Fannin County, Texas in 1888 where the family remained until 1953.

My GGGGrandfather was Nehemiah
Newton Scoggins.
I have traced him back to being born in North Carolina, moving to Georgia in
1794 and staying in Hancock, Baldwin, Putnam, and Clarke counties then moving
to Bibb Cty, Alabama before 1830 and dying sometime after the 1840 Census.

My names is Jim Scoggins and officially James Matthew Scoggins Jr., born 10/10/1954 My father, James M. Scoggins Sr., 12/31/20 - 01/08/89 was born in Monroe Parrish, LA, is from Reb Monroe Scoggins. Reb's wife was Emma and died of TB when my father was 3, in about 1923. I was the first of my family born out of the south, in Washington D.C. I know nothing about my father's ancestry and don't know where to start. Do any of these names mean anything to you. Thank you. Jim

Robert Clifford Scroggins whose father is Robert Novalle Scroggins - born 1926 in Illinois died 1975
His father is William Jackson Scroggins - born Aug. (I have found dates of 1895 and 1897) in TN. died 1929 in IL . He married Gladys Novalle. I know he was in WWI. and at sometime stationed in IL.(around 1920) He also had a daughter born in 1920 in Stuttgart, AR.
William's father was George Scroggins, born in TN and he had a wife who's maiden name was Taylor.
This is all I know for certain.
William Jackson Scroggins was born Aug. 1895 in Tennessee and Died 1929 in Illinois. He married Gladys Novalle (b. 1900 Pinkstaff, Illinois d. 1983 Rockford, Illinois) ) around 1920 (location of marriage unknown). They had 2 children, Dorothy (born 1920 in Stuttgart Arkansas d. 1929 Rockford, Illinois) and Robert (born 1926 in Rockford, Illinois d. 1975 Rockford, Illinois). The 1920 federal census places William at Camp Grant, Illinois. William was a veteran of WWI. There is very good evidence (Census records) that the father of William was one “George” Scroggins who was born in Tennessee and died in Arkansas about 1955 (Stuttgart, Arkansas County). And further we are pretty sure that George’s father was A.J. Scroggins who was in Tennessee in 1880 and 1900. So while William 1895-1929 is the earliest proven person in this line, It is very likely that two generations prior A. J. Scroggin (Born Aug.1845 Tennessee-Died after 1900 probably in Tennessee)will prove to be the earliest known ancestor. The DNA study will help us confirm this.
The submitter has compared their results at The Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation (SMGF) and reports that they match exactly two others and is one maker off with a third. It would be most helpful to identify those other submitters if possible. Anyone having an idea of who they might be is encouraged to contact this study and/or those people directly and suggest they join in our study.

[Administrators note: while this sample falls in the same haplotype there is significant variation from those other samples in this group so it might be well to think of it as a separate line.]
A study of the Scoggins line represented in this test can be found on this website: http://donjaggi.net/winnifred/index.php
William Bye Scogings came to Utah in 1859. He was born in 1822 in
Badingham, Suffolk, England son of Philip Scoggins and Mary Bye.
Philip Scoggins son of Thomas Scoggins and Elizabeth Lloyd was born in
Badingham in 1789.
Thomas Scoggins son of Thomas Scoggins and Elizabeth Flurry was born in
Clopton, Suffolk, England in 1751. Thomas Scoggins son of Robert
Scoggins and Elizabeth of Framsden, Suffolk, England was born about 1709.
Thomas and William Scoggins sons of Thomas Scoggins and Ellizabeth
Flurry has large families in Badingham. Between the two they had twenty five children.
The current study focuses on these twenty five children
born between 1777 and 1802, fourteen of which lived to old age. No
descendants have yet been traced to the United States except for my
ancestor William Bye Scogings.
