  Wiley S. Scroggin, the subject of this sketch, owes his nativity to
  the State of Mississippi, but was brought to Conway County, Arkansas,
  when a child of six years of age by his parents, who were among the
  earliest settlers here. He was born April 8, 1833, and his parents,
  Henson and Malinda (Carpenter) Scroggin, were natives of Georgia and
  Mississippi respectively. They were the parents of eleven children,
  nine of whom grew to maturity, and seven are yet living. Mr.
  Scroggin, Sr., was a farmer by occupation, and emigrated from
  Mississippi to Arkansas in 1839. He settled in Conway County, where he
  entered land. He was a man who took quite an active part in building
  up schools, churches and society in those early days. He and wife were
  members of the Christian Church. Mr. Scroggin died November 16, 1860,
  and was followed to his eternal rest, twenty-seven years later, by his
  faithful wife, who died March 6, 1887. The subject of this sketch
  received a limited education at the common private schools of Conway
  County, and at his majority began life for himself, by engaging in the
  occupation of farming. In this he has been eminently successful, and
  now owns a fine tract of land, of 280 acres, with 125 acres under a
  high state of cultivation, which, equipped with stock and necessary
  farming implements, will make it one of the most desirable places in
  the northern part of the county. Mr. Scroggin has been twice married;
  to his first union in 1859, were born nine children, who were named,
  in order of birth, Dennis C., Sarah J., Malinda C., Martha E., Henson,
  Matilda C., James M., Wiley A., (deceased), and Robert F. He lost his
  wife by death, October 1878, and in 1879 he married his second and
  present wife, who was a native of Tennessee. To this union have been
  born two children, Minerva and William A. C. (deceased.) Mr. Scroggin
  is socially a member of the Masonic Lodge at Cleveland, No. 473, while
  he and wife hold membership and worship at the Christian Church.¹¹
