I am attaching a family group sheet on the James M. Staggs family. I have looked in vain for this family after 1880 in Chickasaw County. You will see that I have tracked two of the daughters, who married Kitchens brothers. They lived in Beat 1, Pontotoc County, before moving to Union County, just north of Pontotoc County. I tracked William and Prentiss to Indian Territory. Lost Prentiss after 1900. William disappears after 1902, leaving his kids with his in-laws in the 1910 census. He next appears in 1930, living alone in San Antonio, TX. I assume he died here, but haven't been able to find a death or burial.
I assume James M. Staggs and his wife, Clarentine Jamison must have died some time between 1880-1900. So far, I don't find either of them living in the house with the kids I've been able to track in 1900. I don't find them in the Chickasaw or Pontotoc County cemetery books, but they wouldn't appear if they didn't have grave markers.
This family must have joined the witness protection program after 1880! They surely hid their tracks well.
