Notes for Smith Scroggins Sr.
Smith and Tabitha presumably moved the family to Lincoln County, Tennessee, but it could have been several years before. The most common route into Tennessee was from the north through the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. This was because the route from the east was blocked by the Appalachian Mountains. There was no access through them at this time.

Smith and most of his family adopted the "Scroggins" spelling and migrated through Tennessee and Mississippi, with many descendants ending up in Texas; Smith is the ancestor of Loma Scroggins Patton, author of several books on Scroggins, and of several other active researchers. He apparently left Wake County, North Carolina, after 1826, and was in Lincon County, Tennessee by 1840. He may be the Smith Scroggins in the 1830 census of Hickman County, Tennessee.
