General Notes: Husband - James Scroggs

---

He was of a very dark complexion and six feet tall. He had received the preliminary education that was designed to fit him, along with his brother Joseph, for the ministry. The stress of circumstances required that the family expenses should be reduced and thus James became a farmer and aided materially in providing for the equipment of Joseph for his eminent ministerial career. The mental capacity and literary tastes of James were of unusual order in a farmer. He was an ardent Scotchman, an admiring and eloquent reader of the dialect of Burns.
