~ 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.
