Scroggins, Rices, And Tarrants

Harold Rice research sent (eventually) to me...:

"I think the Scroggins, Rices, Tarrants and Ransoms moved together from Virginia to Rutherford County, North Carolina, to Greenville and Pendleton District South Carolina to Green, Franklin and Juniper Counties, Georgia, then spread out to Franklin County, Tennesse, and to Gallatin County, Illinois.  I think the Mt. Airy people could have been ours.  Mt. Airy is in Sequatchie County, Tennessee, some of which had been Marion County, which is next to Franklin County, Tennessee.

I found an Ephraim Reese in 1790 in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, and there is an Ephraim Rice in Marion County, Tennessee, in 1840, in the Pendleton Distict of South Carolina.  On its list is Tarrants.

The 1790 census of South Carolina 96th District, Greenville County lists Humphrey Scroggins, David Reese, Benjamin Tarrant and John Rice.

The 1782 Henry County, Virginia, Military records lists the following in S. Tarrant Company:  Humphrey Scroggins, Thomas Scroggins, John Farris and Joseph Rice.  Oglethorpe Company, Georgia, 1794-1800: Phillip Scroggins, Thomas Rice, Humphrey Scroggins.

David H. Roark, Illinois Soldier

Record of the services of Illinois soldiers...and in the Mexican war, 1846-8:

David H. Roark

David H. Roark's entry at Wikitree here.

Also see an article about Lawler and the Mexican War (excerpt below):

"After being mustered out, Lawler traveled to Washington... . Once back in the county he raised a second unit, an independent company of mounted troops that called themselves the 'Mamaluke Legion."'

"Lawler's company traveled by river again and boarded the steamers Fashion and Major Tompkins at Baton Rouge and proceeded to Vera Cruz. Upon arriving in Mexico, Lawler's company engaged in scouting duty for the Department of Tampico with the mission of harassing the Mexican guerillas and keeping open the road from the Gulf of Mexico to Mexico City. Sometime prior to Dec. 10, 1847, Lawler's men skirmished with Mexican cavalry at Horcasitas.  Lawler's company continued their activity for most of 1848, not returning home until the fall."

Lawler's Company of Dragoons (also known as the Third Independent Company of Illinois Volunteers) included Roark, David H., Private.

Troops With Cholera

 

Source

The first steamboats to visit Chicago, were those conveying the troops under command of General Winfield Scott in 1832 (cholera year) whose mission was to put an end to the Black Hawk war. Chicago before this did not attract scarcely any attention, being only an outlaying military post, on the very borders of civilization. The troops of General Scott on reaching Detroit, were attacked with the cholera, they suffered severely here, as also on the route to Chicago, and after their arrival at the latter post. The campaign of Gen. Scott is a matter of history. (Source)
