At an old broken down slab south of an oak tree, is the grave of Susan, daughter of J. R. Stagg, died April 27th, 1855, aged thirty-six years. Edmond D., son of J. R. Stagg, died June 30th, 1841, aged four years, one months. (May 29th, 1837). Lodena, daughter of J. W. and S. Stagg, died April 23rd, 1853, aged fifteen years, two months. (February 22nd, 1838.) William M., son J. W. and S. Stagg, May 21st, 1853, a child aged ten months and eleven days. These are in the second row from the east end. Next is a vigorous catalpa tree standing at the head of the unmarked grave of some grown person. By the side of this is a more recent mound, and two children's graves at their head, all in good repair. There are two old time graves in the southeast corner, near a large hickory tree. John W. Stagg married Susan Mann, 1837. Elizabeth Stagg married William R. Prince, 1837. Other inscriptions are: William, son of W. M. and Elizabeth Stagg, in his fifth year. (Date not copied). Elizabeth Stagg, died 1854, aged twenty-seven. Isaiah, son of William and C. Stagg, died 1851. (Perhaps meant for son of William and Catharine.) Elizabeth Stagg, wife of William B. Prince,died 1855, aged thirty-seven years, six months. These are all old graves and covered over with wild grape vines and with blue myrtle, and a cluster of yucca has been set nearby. There are two new headstones at graves, under a pine tree, two rows west of the gate. I think it is possible this William (Catherine Staggs) was a brother to George Staggs who married Jemima Furr and came to Greenup county Kentucky. Anyone who can identify these Staggs or has information on them or the families they inter-married with -I would love to hear from you and exchange notes.
