Scrogin, John - Genealogy Research Papers

JOHN SCROGIN(?) (Sarah)This tabulation is incorrect. John and Rachel had six children by 1820 but the count was two boysand four girls. Elizabeth should have been listed as over ten years. The third son probably shouldhave been the fourth daughter. Samuel Scrogin appears in the age group of 10 and under in 1810and 1820, probably because he was born just before the census was taken in 1810 and had notreached his tenth birthday when the census was enumerated in 1820.By 1825, John Scrogin (E14) was living in Shelby County, Kentucky. In 1798 Samuel(D5) and Betty Scrogin sold 100 of the 200 acres that they owned on Townsend Run in BourbonCounty to their son Robert Scrogin (E10) for five shillings. 11 In 1818 Samuel conveyed the remaining100 acres to son George (E11) for $600. 12 Since Robert (E10) got 100 acres of his parents’ land for5 only shillings, he must have been the eldest surviving son with the right of primogeniture to hisfather’s land. Joseph Scrogin (E9) must have died before Joseph Collins Scrogin (E13) was born in1785, considering the re-use of the name Joseph. No records have been found pertaining to JosephScrogin (E9), Joseph Collins Scrogin (E13) or Samuel Scrogin, Jr. (E15) in Bourbon County, so theyall probably died young.Since John Scrogin (E14) did not share in the previous division of his parents’ land, the familyapparently decided in 1825 to make an arrangement giving John equity with his brothers. On 05September 1825 Robert Scrogin of Bourbon County conveyed 102 acres and 17 poles in BourbonCounty on the waters of Silas Run to John Scrogin of Shelby County for $642: 13This Indenture was made on this 5th day of September in the year of our Lord, 1825between Robert Scrogin of the County of Bourbon and the State of Kentucky of the one party andJohn Scrogin of the County of Shelby in the State aforesaid of the other party.

JOHN SCROGINScrogin to be named Benoni for his maternal grandfather Benoni Kendrick.Thornton Wilson resided in Bourbon County, Kentucky, when he bought this land on 15 December1828 from William and Rhoda Miles of Weakley County, Tennessee, for 1500. It was described ascontaining 189 acres, 3 roods and 25 poles in Shelby County on Six Mile Creek and includedRadcliffe’s mill dam. 18 Perhaps the purchase was funded by Benoni Kendrick, who lived withThornton and Mariah Wilson in Bourbon County in 1820. 19 Benoni Kendrick died before 01November 1830 when Thornton J. Wilson was appointed to administer his estate with Robert Scrogin(E10) as his security. 20 Benoni Kendrick probably transferred all of his assets to Thornton Wilsonbefore applying for a Revolutionary War pension in 1818 when he declared that he was in “reducedcircumstances.” 21Since no record has been found of John Scrogin (E14) having owned land in Shelby County, perhapshe lived on the Wilson tract there under some sort of a familial agreement with his brother-in-lawagainst a background of a mutual legacy of their wives. Although there is no statement in the deed tothat effect, the timing suggests that it is another conveyance made to equalize an estate distribution.Since he sold it to them for what it cost him, Thornton Wilson apparently had some obligation to hisnephews and nieces.Benjamin (F45) and Samuel (F90) Scrogin acquired their sisters’ shares of this land for $780 by adeed dated 01 October 1845: 22This Indenture made this first day of October in the year One thousand eight hundred andforty five between John More and Elizabeth Moore his wife daughter of John Scrogins,Abraham Miles and Irean Miles his wife daughter of John Scrogins, Peter Vardeman and MaryVardeman his wife daughter of John Scrogins, and Joshua Tharp and Sallie Tharp his wifedaughter of John Scrogins of the County of Shelby and State of Kentucky of the one part andBenjamin Scrogins and Samuel Scrogins of the County and State aforesaid of the other partwitnesseth that the said John Moore and Elizabeth More his wife, Abraham Miles andIrean Miles his wife, Peter Vardeman and Mary Vardeman his wife and Joshua Tharp and SallieTharp his wife for ... seven hundred and eighty dollars in hand paid viz; to John Moore twohundred dollars, to Abraham Miles one hundred and ninety dollars, to Peter Vardeman one hundredand ninety dollars and to Joshua Tharp two hundred dollars ... hath ... sold ... unto ...

Joshua TharpSarah Jane TharpJOHN SCROGIN(Seal)(Seal)There were no witnesses given. The boundaries were identical to those in the Wilson deed.Unless it was intended to mean “heirs of Rachel Scrogins, widow of John Scrogins,” the term “heirs ofJohn Scrogins” must have been used in the sense of “children of John Scrogins” or “heirs-to-be”since John was alive at the time of writing. Shortly after their marriage in October, John Scrogin(E14)) and his new wife Margaret went to Morgan County, Indiana, where he entered 40 acres on 20December 1835. 23 Morgan County, Indiana, is directly southwest of Indianapolis and adjoins MarionCounty. The county seat is Martinsville. The county is traversed from the northeast to the southwestby the White River. On 20 December 1835 John entered 40 acres there which were the northeastquarter of the northwest quarter of Section 32, Township 12, Range 2 East.. 24 He acquired this landthrough a Federal patent: 25CertificateNo. 25833THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICATo all to whom these Presents shall come, Greeting:Whereas John Scrogin of Morgan County, Indiana, has deposited in the General LandOffice of the United States, a certificate of the Register of the Land Office at Indianapolis,whereby it appears that full payment has been made by the said John Scrogin, according to theprovisions of the Act of Congress of the 24th of April, 1820, entitled “An act making further provisionfor the sale of Public Lands,” for the Northeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section Thirtytwo in Township Twelve North of Range Two East, in the District of Lands subject to sale atIndianapolis, Indiana; containing Forty Acres; according to the General Land Office by theSurveyor General, which said tract has been purchased by the said John Scrogin, NOW KNOWYE, That the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in consideration of the premises, and inconformity with the several acts of Congress, in such cases made and provided, have givenand granted, and by these presents do give and grant, unto the said John Scrogin and to hisheirs, the said tract above described: To have and to hold the same, together with all the rights,privileges, immunities, and appurtenances of whatsoever nature, thereunto belonging, unto thesaid John Scrogin and to his heirs and assigns forever.In Testimony whereof, I, Martin Van Buren, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OFAMERICA, have caused these Letters to be made Patent, andthe Seal of the General Land Office to be hereunto affixed.Given under my hand, at the City of Washington, the twentieth dayof March in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred andthirty seven and of the Independence of the United States the sixty firstMartin Van BurenBy the PresidentHudson M.

1 F 15-201 F 10-15JOHN SCROGINJoseph Scrogin (E21), who was a son of Robert Caldwell Scrogin (D7) and AnnCulver, was married to Martha Campbell. 39 Joseph died in Morgan County, Indiana, on 25 May 1841and his obituary was printed in a Kentucky newspaper on 06 July 1841: 40Jos. Scrogin, 53, formerly of Franklin County, died in Morgan County, Iowa.There is no Morgan County, Iowa; a prophetic error, perhaps, since nine years later his cousin JohnScrogin (E14) moved from Morgan County, Indiana, to Clayton County, Iowa.In 1850 John and Peggy Scrogin went to Iowa to claim a land grant for his service in the War of1812. On 15 August 1850 John wrote from Iowa to his children in Shelby County, Kentucky, sayingthat they arrived in Iowa on 08 April and had rented a house and land about four miles fromMcGregor’s Landing on the Mississippi opposite Prairie de Chien, Wisconsin, while waiting for hisbounty land warrant. The letter remarks about Peggy wanting to go to Indiana; sends greetings toUncle Bill Bohannon in Kentucky; and refers to John and Marion, Jeptha Henderson and his wife andmother, and Jeptha Dulin and his wife, as being with them. The writing and the signature are by thesame hand: 41August 15th 1850My deare children I wonce more make the attempt to wright two you All to let youheare that I am well at this time and all the rest of the family thanks be to the good lord for histender mercies Jeptha and his mother has Enterd One hundred and Sixty Acres of land Withthe best Spring water on it that I ever Drank it runs Cold and fresh and is so cold it is timberedland and is about four miles from McGregors landing on the missisippi Oposit prarie duchien itis a prarie country About 6 or 7 miles from the river with timber in places and around it I havecut forty house logs last Spring after the woods was burned but the weeds and bushes is ashigh as my head and So thick that it is with diffuculty that a person can get a long I want to get thelogs haled and put up as soon as I can before cold weather Sets in we landed the Eighth Day ofApril in Iowa we rented a house and Some ground 3 or 4 acres our truck patch and Corne is goodaltho the Storm tore it all to peices Jep henderson has a house and Some Corne and a truckpatch we have a field of Corne on the prarie of tenn or twelve Acres that is tollerablegoodI wish you to wright as quick as you can as I want to hear from you as Soone aspossible I have not my land warrant yet as it has only pased the lower house If I get any it will be80 Acres as I Served Six months only peggy talks Very mutch of going to indiana next Spring ifthe lord is willing and we Should all live and have our health John and Marion Will be with us I amwell pleased with the Country this far there is Some deer and Some bear and wolves I killedone deer and one large koone Some birds and Squirels feasents Give my Compliments to allthe inquiring friends I way 180 pounds in my Shirt Sleeves tell uncle Bill Bohannon that Iam the Same Old John Scrogin yet and friend that I never was hartier in my life tho Afflicted withpains in the upper Jouint of my right thigh Jeptha hendersons wife has a nother Son Jepthadulins wife has a nother Son also No more at present But Sill remain your Ever loving Old father:Prepared by WILLIAM G SCROGGINS 29 Aug 1998: 718 Mill Valley Drive, Taylor Mill KY 41015-2278 12

Jane was a daughter of Benjamin Scrogin (F45). Someone,probably Sciota Young Scroggins, wrote on the outside of the folded letter:W. B. Scroggins’s Great GrandfatherAnother early settler of Clayton County, who arrived there in 1851, described the town of McGregoras then a hamlet of five or six small buildings. He said that the spring of 1851 was one of the wettestever known. The prairie between Chicago and Elgin was half under water. The railroad track wasnewly laid, unballasted and indifferently graded, with ties laid on the prairie sod in some places. Thefastest speed was ten miles per hour and frequently little faster than a man could walk. Traveling byrail was tedious, but traveling by stage was exhaustive and described by some as paying for theprivilege of wading through mud on foot with a rail on the shoulder with which to pry up the coachwhen it was stuck. 42The town of McGregor is in northeastern Iowa on Mississippi River opposite Prairie du Chien,Wisconsin, just north of where Wisconsin River enters the Mississippi. Located in Clayton County,McGregor is not far from Fort Atkinson, an outpost of the 1840’s that has been restored; EffigyMounds National Monument, where the Indian mounds are in the shapes of birds, snakes andmammals; Pikes Peak and Echo Valley State Scenic and Recreational Parks; and Spook Cave.Clayton County is drained by Turkey River which flows into the Mississippi about half-way betweenMcGregor and Dubuque, Iowa, to the south. The wooded hills and river bluffs of northeastern Iowabreak the level plains of the state which contains one-fourth of the highest grade tops oil in the UnitedStates. A series of highways and byways known as Great River Road follow the Iowa bank of theMississippi from the Minnesota border south to Dubuque. It follows one of the most dramaticstretches of the river’s entire length. Located near Marquette, Iowa, north of McGregor, EffigyMounds National Monument is situated on soaring bluffs above the river.

Perhaps Peggy went with him as far as Indiana, according to her desires expressed in hisletter, and by transferring title to their sons before they left, they avoided legal difficulties that mighthave arisen from their failure to return. John got back to Shelby County to see his children there.Christine Fry Merchant, of Bagdad, Kentucky, had a vague recollection in 1975 of a story she heardas a child about the day that “old man Scroggins came back to Kentucky, riding in alone on hishorse.”John did not return to Iowa. On 18 May 1855 Margaret Scrogin of Clayton County, Iowa, applied foranother bounty land grant as a widow, stating that her husband John Scrogin had died atChristiansburg, Kentucky, on 22 June 1855.

Samuel (F90) and his wife Malinda Miles are buried there with engraved stonesmarking their graves: 51Samuel ScrogginMalindaborn June 14, 1810wife of Samuel Scroggindied Oct. 09, 1849 born Aug. 10, 1812died June 26, 1872The only other stone there is for Mahala, daughter of G.

Their relationship to the Scrogin family is not known.Benjamin Scrogin (F45) is buried in the cemetery at Indian Fork Baptist Church with his wife PameliaBohannon Scrogin. His tombstone gives a birth date of 24 January 1811 which conflicts withSamuel’s birth date of 14 June 1810.

JOHN SCROGINbe accurate with Benjamin being born either 24 June 1811 or 24 January 1812.This area of Shelby County, which is now served by the Bagdad Post Office and known as Bagdad,was previously served by a post office at Christiansburg and generally known as Christiansburg. Thepresent community of Christiansburg is 10 miles northeast of Shelbyville, the county seat.Incorporated on 01 January 1824, Christiansburg had two churches, Baptist and Methodist, twophysicians, two taverns, four stores and groceries, a steam sawmill, a woolen factory and fourmechanics shops in 1873. In a story written about Shelby County that year, Bagdad, Jacksonville andConsolation were described as small places. All four are on the ridge dividing the watershed of thecounty. Land northeast of the ridge is drained by Benson Creek, Six Mile Creek and the Indian Forkof Six Mile into the Kentucky River. The Scrogin land was at the junction of Indian Fork and Six Milecreeks. Most of the county is drained into Salt River to the south by Clear,Beech, Brashears, Bullskin, Fox Run, Plum, Gist, Long Run and Floyd’s Fork creeks.Shelby County was the 12th county formed in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and thethird established after Kentucky was admitted to the Union. Created in 1792 from Jefferson County, itwas named for Isaac Shelby, the first, and then, governor of the state. The first station established bya white man in the area that is now Shelby County was built by Squire Boone in 1779. Situated onClear Creek at the Painted Stone, the location of the station is now within the limits of the city ofShelbyville. For nearly two years, Boone’s Station was the only one between Harrodsburg, and itssurrounding small stations, and the large fort at the Falls of the Ohio, with its small satellite stationsalong Beargrass Creek. In September 1781, Boone’s Station was abandoned temporarily afterIndians began making frequent appearances in the neighborhood and there was an attack. Fleeing tothe stronger settlements at Louisville, the little band of pioneers were attacked by a large group ofIndians near Long Run Creek with a loss of 100 white persons, men, women and children killed orcaptured, including two daughters of John and Sarah Scoggin Hansborough who lived at Boone’sStation at the time. Learning of the massacre, Colonel John Floyd and Captain John Holder led 37men after the Indians but they were ambushed by 200 warriors who killed 16 of the pursuingKentuckians. Only 9 or 10 Indians died in the engagement. Boone’s Station was not re-occupied untilabout Christmas 1781. In 1783 when he was serving in the Virginia legislature, Squire Boonetransferred his station to Colonel Lynch and it was thereafter known as Lynch’s Station. Other earlysettlements in the Shelby County area were the station of Captain Robert Tyler on Tick Creek,Owen’s Station built in 1782 by Brackett Owen, Colonel AquilaWhitaker’s Station on Clear Creek and Captain Samuel Well’s Station.Squire Boone was the brother of Daniel Boone and of Sarah Boone who married John Wilcoxson.Jane Wilcoxson, granddaughter of John and Sarah Boone Wilcoxson, married William Bohannonand had Pamelia Bohannon who married Benjamin Scrogin (F45).Six miles east of Shelbyville there is an ancient Indian fortification situated on a hill some 200 feetabove the surrounding terrain with a view for miles around. A double ring of earthworks from 4 to 8feet high encircled several wooded acres watered by a spring. Graves and Indian relics have beenfound in the vicinity.On 08 March 1856 John Scrogin (Scroggins) of Clayton County, Iowa, bought for $93.50 fromWilliam Joshua Barney and Georgianna F. Barney of Dubuque County, Iowa, the southwest quarterof the southeast quarter of Section 4 in Township 94 North of Range 3 West of the 5th prime:Prepared by WILLIAM G SCROGGINS 29 Aug 1998: 718 Mill Valley Drive, Taylor Mill KY 41015-2278 19

JOHN SCROGINmeridian. 52 John Scrogin (Scroggins), who signed the deed with an X mark, sold the southwestquarter of the southeast quarter of Section 4, Township 94, Range 3 west, in Clayton County, to F.Larned for $300 on 08 October 1856. 53 These deeds must pertain to John B. Scrogin (F91), althoughhe used his middle initial on all subsequent court transactions. It is likely that the B. stood forBaldwin.Margaret Scrogin was living with her son John in Mendon Township, Clayton County, Iowa, on 19June 1860: 54 John B. Scroggins 23 M Farmer born INR. A. Scroggins 21 F MOMary Scroggins 1 F IAJames Hamilton 21 M Laborer NYMargret Scroggins 56 F KYJohn B. Scroggins (F91) was shown with real estate valued at $400 and personal property worth$100. Margaret was credited with real estate valued at $800. Her birthplace of Kentucky and age of56 do not coincide with the 1850 census which showed her as born in South Carolina and aged 49.Since she represented herself as 55 in 1855 when she applied for the bounty land, she probably was59 or 60 in 1860.Julia Ann Baldwin (Scrogin) married William Minney before 1860 and was tabulated with herhusband. Francis Marion Scrogin (F92), who was not listed on the 1860 census as a head ofhousehold in Mendon Township, must have been living with another family. The records of ClaytonCounty do not show a marriage for Julia Ann Baldwin (Scrogin), John B. Scrogin or Francis M.Scrogin. 55On 24 February 1859 John B. Scrogin (F91), his wife Ruth Ann and Francis M. Scrogin (F92), all ofClayton County, sold to G. S. C. Scott and Henry C. Scott of the firm of Scott and Brother, for $300,the southeast quarter of the southwest quarter of Section 4, Township 94, Range 3 west. 56The fact that Frances Marion Scrogin (F92) did not have a wife to sign the deed, suggests that hewas not married by 1859.On 29 May 1863, by a deed of quit claim, John B. Scrogin of Clayton County conveyed to MargaretScrogin of the same place, for $169, the southwest quarter of the southwest quarter of Section 4,Township 94, North of Range 3, west of the 5th prime meridian, in Clayton County. He signed with anX. 57On 26 August 1865 Margaret Scrogin and John B. Scrogin (Scroggins) sold to Patrick Hynes, for$400, the southwest quarter of the southwest quarter of Section 4, Township 94, north of Range 3,west of the 5th prime meridian. The deed was acknowledged by Margaret and John B. Scrogin onthe same date at McGregor in the office of Thomas Updegraff, a notary public. 58The relationships of John Scrogin (E14), his second wife Margaret Baldwin and their children,Elizabeth Baldwin, who married Jeptha Dulin; Julia Ann Baldwin, who married William Minney; JohnB. Scrogin (F91); and Francis Marion “Dick” Scrogin (F92); are proved by depositions, which state:Prepared by WILLIAM G SCROGGINS 29 Aug 1998: 718 Mill Valley Drive, Taylor Mill KY 41015-2278 20

JOHN SCROGINthat Ruth Ann Scrogin, the wife of John B. Scrogin, died before 29 August 1865 and that she had noissue. Elizabeth Baldwin Dulin died before 27 May 1858, when Jeptha Dulin was described as awidower. The record also states that Margaret Baldwin Scrogin “left here” after 24 July 1861, but it isnot understood if it meant that she left Mendon Township, Clayton County or the state of Iowa. Shewas signing deeds in Clayton County in 1865: 59State of Iowa )Clayton County) David Moody being first duly sworn state that I was personallyacquainted with the family of John Scroggin sometimes calledScroggins.

ADDENDAJOHN SCROGINPeter Vardeman of Henry County, Virginia, must have been descended from John Vardeman, whoemigrated from Sweden to America with his family, settled in South Carolina in the early 18th centuryand died there, according to descendants, at the extreme age of 125 years. He was a Lutheran inSweden and joined the Episcopalian Church in South Carolina. His son John Vardeman, Jr., whowas seven years old at the time the family emigrated, married Elizabeth Morgan, a native of Wales,and moved to Bedford County, Virginia, on the east slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains, not far fromthe Peaks of Otter. There he and his wife affiliated with the Baptist Church. They had twelve children,of which the four eldest sons were William, John, Amaziah and Morgan Vardeman. About 1767, JohnVardeman, Jr. migrated with his young family to the settlements on New River, where his last child,son Jeremiah Vardeman, was born on 08 July 1775, in what is now Wythe County, Virginia, abouttwelve miles above Fort Chiswell. In 1777 he went further west to the Clinch River in southwesternVirginia. When Indian trouble arose, the family moved into the nearby fort of Shadrach White on theMaiden Spring Fork of the Clinch in what is now Russell County. Others there included the notedhunters and explorers, James, Henry and Richard Skaggs. In autumn, 1779, the Vardemans went toKentucky and settled near Crab Orchard in what became Lincoln County. Son William, who was thefirst to settle in Kentucky, fought at Point Pleasant on 10 October 1774. Later he went to the Natchezcountry. Sons John (III) and Amaziah were in George Rogers Clark’s campaign against the Shawneein 1782. Sons Amaziah and Morgan served under Colonel William Whitley on scouting expeditionsand in the campaign to Nick-o-jack (sic) in September 1794. Son Jeremiah also fought against theIndians. John Vardeman, Jr. moved to Missouri where he died about 1827 at the age of 109.(Photocopy of undated, anonymous typescript from Valerie Hurd, POB 1066, Sundance, WY 82729-1066.) William Whitley led a group of Kentuckians, who joined a force of Tennesseans at Nashville,against the southern Indians who had been harassing the settlements in Lincoln County. Theexpedition became known as the Nickajack campaign from the name of the major Indian town whichwas destroyed. (Collins’ History of Kentucky.) If John Vardeman, Jr. was 109 when he died about1827 and 7 when his family came to America, he must have been born about 1718 and emigratedabout 1725. However, with his twelfth child being born in 1775, it could be estimated that he wasmarried about 1750, which suggests that he may have been born later than 1718.Much of the above Vardeman history came from Morgan Vardeman, son of John Vardeman andElizabeth Morgan, during an interview with Lyman Draper [Data of Sharon Primeauprimeau@pcok.com

Sarah any property whatever it would be lost to her andthe estate forever, because the involved situation of James Griffin her husband, would cause anyproperty that might fall into his or her handsto be taken immediately to help satisfy his debts, therefore I permit them abarely to enjoythe possession of said land during her lifetime.

JOHN SCROGINcame on the river by boat to Miami where Uncle Will met them in a farm wagon. They stayedover night at a crude hotel in Miami experiencing great discomfort, and the next day proceededon their journey by wagon to their new home.About four years later on the fourteenth day of March, 1882, my father with my mother, sixbrothers and one sister, his family at that time, arrived in Marshall. Uncle Will met them in a farmwagon, drawn by four mules, and they drove out on what is now North Odell Avenue over a stumpyroad through muddy Salt Fork bottoms where they stuck once, to be helped out by Messrs. Boband Henry Irvine--on to my uncle’s farm, north and west of Marshall. He had made a changeof homes since coming to Missouri.They found my aunt and cousins waiting for them in semi-darkness; their only light, alantern and tallow candles. They had broken their lamp flues that morning in the excitement of gettingready for their Uncle Tom, Aunt Nellie, and the children.My uncle and father were almost pioneers. The Indians were gone when they came toMissouri, but flocks of wild turkeys were in the woods--and there were plenty of weeds--hazelbrush and uncleared land. Hazel nuts, hickory nuts, and acorns were plentiful; also wild grapes,wild plums, blackberries, strawberries, and all kinds of wild game.With the exception of one year my father and family lived on various farms north of Marshalluntil the year 1908. We had increased to eleven children of which I was the first “Puke.” We youngermembers were all girls, so that we were then as we are today, six brothers and five sisters.In that year 1908, my father bought a small farm near Nelson, Missouri, and moved mymother and unmarried children. He made his home there until the fall of 1919, when he sold thefarm and bought property in Marshall, continuing to live there the remainder of his life.Uncle Will lived north of Marshall until the year 1920, when he too made Marshallhome, living there until his death.hisThe two brothers and their families were, for many years, the only relatives in Missouri, andthey were always friendly and had great regard for each other. One cousin says, “There wasno greater pleasure in our childhood than going to see the cousins and having them come to visitus.”I feel sure all eleven of us can reiterate that statement. Going to Uncle Will’s when achild, eating Aunt Nellie’s salt rising bread, yellow butter, and jam, watching her rock serenely andreceiving notice from the cousins was my realization of earthly heaven. My father and my unclelived to see many marvels of science. They saw the laying of almost the first, perhaps the firstrailroad in Kentucky and an early one here.One of the cousins remarked that the roar of the early trains filled her childish heart withmore terror than thoughts of the Devil. Electric lighting, the auto, the airplanes were in usebefore their deaths. The radio with ear phones was just coming in at the time of their passing.None of these things moved their faith in God--rather heightened their faith in him.

JOHN SCROGINMy father did itinerant missionary work, but held no regular pastorate in Missouri. Acousin says, “The brothers loved the Bible. Their eyes shone with joy as they discussed the greattruths it contains, and in passing they pillowed their heads on its promises.”Uncle Will was a great worker for the Lord, serving four rural churches of Saline County foryears. Two of them, Salem and Pin Oak, were organized through his efforts, and the influence ofhis life and work will live forever. It was my privilege to attend a service at one of his churches afew years ago, and I could seem to feel his spirit present.My father died in the fall of 1923, at the age of 85 and was laid to rest beside mymother who preceded him two years.Uncle Will died two years later, October 1925, at the age of 83 years. Pointinglast words were “Mommie” (his name for my aunt), “Heaven.”upward hisAunt Sallie lived until October 1928 when she, too, passed on and was laid besideuncle in Ridge Park. The brothers and their wives lie close together in death.myOf my father’s immediate family all eleven children are living. Of my uncle’s immediatefamily three daughters yet live, one widowed and two unmarried. His oldest daughter Mrs.Henry Harvey died last fall. She left a fine family of six children.Among the brothers’ numerous descendants are to be found; a doctor, a preacher,school teacher, a policeman, and many worthy followers of various occupations.aYes, their work on earth is over,Only we who yet remain,Hold the banner they have left us,May we keep it free from stain.Side by side in Ridge Park lyingSide by side and head to headWe can hear our Savior saying,“Only sleeping, they’re not dead.”When, on Resurrection morningThey, the trumpet call obey,There will be a glad reunionThrough God’s one unending day.Although the 1850 census enumeration of Peter and Mary Scrogin Vardeman lists son Thomas as T.F. Vardeman, his obituary in the Democrat-News of Marshall, Missouri, gives his name as theReverend John Thomas Vardeman, the Ridge Park Cemetery records give his name as John T.Vardeman and the 1900 census for Saline County, Missouri, lists him as John Vardeman.
