I am looking for information about my grandmother Della Skaggs, who I believe was orphaned around 1905-1907 when her father and mother, Frank & Martha (Collins) Skaggs, passed away. They lived in Carter County, KY or section of West Virginia which borders. I always have heard there was a connection with Blackfoot Tribe of Kentucky.
Della married Theodore Grissom. I believe she worked for Nancy Grissom (possibly Shields) who husband passed away in 1913. Della moved to Campbell County, KY with the Grissom's, and then married Theodore. They all show up in a 1920 & 1930 census for Campbell County/Ft. Thomas, KY. My father Cylde Grissom was born to Theodore and Della in 1929.
Any help would be much appreciated. I never knew my father and I am having a problem getting past Della Skaggs to further my family tree.
