| Notes |
- The census for Charles County, Maryland, for the period 1775-1778 listed Walter Scrogin (C9)
in the East Hundred of Newport; Walter Scroggen (C9) of Charles County took the Oath of Allegiance during the period 26 January to 01 March 1778. [Maryland Records - Colonial, Revolutionary,
County and Church, Volume I, Gaius Marcus Brumbaugh, Baltimore, 1915, reprinted
Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore, 1975.]
Walter Scrogin (C9) apparently moved from Charles County, Maryland, across the Potomac River to Prince William County, Virginia, where Walter Scrogin (Scroggin) and wife Elizabeth leased two parcels of land in Prince William County, Virginia, on 25 August 1781 for 2400 pounds of tobacco. [Data of Janet Stephens, Abilene, TX, 1986, Prince William County, Virginia, Deed Book U, pages 287-290.] Walter Scrogin (Scroggin) was taxed in Prince William County during the period 1782-87. Virginia Tax
Payers 1782-87, Augusta B. Fothergill and John Mark Naugle, Richmond, 1940, reprinted Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore, 1978. He had five slaves. There is no Scrogin or Scroggin listed on the 1790 census for Virginia so Walter probably died before then. His widow apparently returned to Maryland. Elizabeth Scrogin (Scrogins) was enumerated in Baltimore County, Maryland, in 1790. [Data of Janet Stephens, Federal census page 29.]
