  William W. Scroggin, prominent among those who are engaged in
  agriculture in Conway County, and a well-known and esteemed citizen of
  Union Township, was born in that part of Conway County now known as
  Nichols Township, in the year 1839, making him but three years the
  junior of his native State. His father, John C. Scroggin, was born in
  Georgia, January 2, 1817, and the mother, Disa McAlister, was a
  Mississippian by birth, and was born February 19, 1820. In 1834
  Mr. Scroggin removed with his parents, Humphrey and Julia (Chaney)
  Scroggin, to VanBuren County, Arkansas and the year following to
  Conway County. His first marriage occurred in 1838, to the mother of
  William W She died March 29, 1847, and August 17th Mr. S. was married
  to Sarah Black. His death occurred March 28, 1864, after a residence
  in Conway County of nearly forty years. He was a prominent member of
  the Springfield Lodge of A. F. & A. M., No. 127, and of the Missionary
  Baptist Church. (For ancestral history, see sketch of J. M. Scroggin).
  Daniel McAlister, the maternal grandfather of our subject, removed
  from Mississippi to Van Buren County with the Scroggin family. There
  he and wife both died not many years after. They were among the
  earliest families of that part of Arkansas. William W. Scroggin, the
  only surviving member of a family of one son and two daughters, was
  reared in the wilds of Conway County, and has witnessed the county
  develop from a wilderness to its present high state of improvement,
  and his school days did not exceed three months. January 31, 1861, he
  married Martha Reynolds, a daughter of Jonas and Elizabeth Reynolds,
  who were natives of North Carolina, but removed from Georgia to Conway
  County, Arkansas, in 1856, but in 1863 removed to Bates County,
  Missouri, where they both died. Mr. Reynolds was a farmer and
  brickmason, and both he and wife were Primitive Baptists. Mrs.
  Scroggin was born in Georgia, and is the mother of eight children, six
  of whom are living, viz.: John J., Orville O., James C., Dora, Martha
  and Damel. Mr. Scroggin has resided in different localities, but about
  twelve years ago settled on his present farm of 240 acres, (about 135
  acres under cultivation) five miles southwest of Springfield. He
  began life with nothing of this world's goods, but by his industry,
  economy and good management has obtained a good home. In 1861 he
  joined Capt. Morgan's company of Col. Glenn's Regiment of Arkansas
  Infantry, in which he served about two years, participating in the
  battle of Prairie Grove. The remainder of his service was in Company
  A, Third Arkansas Cavalry of Gen. Steele's command, as a sergeant,
  participating in the engagement at Jenkins' Ferry and numerous others
  till the cessation of hostilities, when he was discharged at
  Lewisburg, after about four years of active service for the cause of
  the Union. Mr. Scroggin has been a member of the Masonic fraternity
  for twenty-five years, and both he and wife are members of the
  Christadelphian Church.
