  ROBERT SCROGGINS, a native of Kentucky, the "Dark and Bloody Ground", came to Greene
  county in 1828, and located on Sec. 13, T. 9, R. 13, now included within the limits of Woodville
  township, where he lived several years. He then removed to a farm in Carrollton township, now owned
  by the heirs of Peter Hobson. While living at this place, during a severe thunderstorm, the house in
  which he and his family resided, was struck by lightning, and three of his children killed, and his wife
  severely burned, and rendered for a time insensible. From there he lived four years, and then left the
  county, going to the American Bottom.
  
  With Robert Scroggins, came his son, C. J., then a lad, who was for many years a resident of
  Woodville township, where he remained after his father's removal from the county. He is a native of
  Kentucky, born in 1815, and was married in 1837, to Mahala Brown. He died July 15, 1883.⁷
