~ Excerpt from page twelve of Scalf Family History by Elmer Scalf ~
While there
remains a lack of proof this writer believes another son of John Scalf and
Temperance Willey was James Scalf. This James Scalf born 1821 in North Carolina
married Catherine Beard and raised a family in Davidson County, Tennessee. This
James Scalf named his first daughter Lydia, perhaps in honor of his
grandmother, Lydia (Stewart) Scalf.
