Narrative
As determined from patrilineal descendants of all sons of James Skaggs, his y-DNA Haplogroup is R1a-BY54816 (or just simply R-BY54816 in shorthand.)
The designation "R1a" is important because patrilineal descendants of Richard Skaggs (c.1674 - c.1766) of Maryland, and his wife Mary Kear (a.k.a Mary Thear), show a completely different and unrelated y-DNA haplogroup of the R1b on a different limb of the human phylogenetic tree which split about 22,000 years ago. This proves that James Skaggs is unrelated to Richard Skaggs of Maryland, and could not be his biological son.
At this time, the parents of James Skaggs are still unknown, but he is not related biologically to the Skaggs family of Maryland.
