Anyone interested in knowing James H. Staggs (aka. Robert Henry Benbrooks).
Thomas Staggs and wife Mary had the following children:
John G. Staggs (b.1848 TN)
James H. Staggs (aka. Robert Henry Benbrooks)
William Staggs (b.1849 TN)
Mary E. Staggs (b.1852 TN)
Martha J. Staggs (b.1857 ARK)
Thomas F. Staggs (b.1859 ARK)
Amanda Staggs (b.1862 ARK)
I am a descendant of James H Staggs above. He was born in TN like his parents, but the family resided in Izard County 1860 thereafter. Very interesting life this man lived. We have newspaper clippings, birth/death/land/marriage records, etc for this family before and after he ran away from Jail and fled to Montana. Oh, yes, I also have a stack of handwritten letters by this individual dated in 1870s and 1880's. Interested? Please visit our website for details:
