Misc. Notes
Lloyd Roupe gives his birth date as Feb. 22, 1818, not Jan. 22. Lloyd also suggests that Abraham was married first to Susan Eisiminger, daughter of Abraham and Elisabeth Eisiminger, and that she was the mother of his first two children, Mary Elizabeth and Minerva Jane Staggers. Other researchers are not sure of this wife. Lloyd himself is not sure of the fact, either.170
From History of Greene County, Pennsyvlania by Samuel P. Bates:
“Abraham Staggers, farmer and stock-grower, Bristoria, Penn., was born in this county January 22, 1818. He is a son of Abraham and Catharine (Grim) Staggers, natives of Greene County, and of German descent. His ancestors were all of German extraction and among the first settlers of Greene County. Of a family of eight children, Abraham Staggers is the fourth. He was reared on a farm near Waynesburg, where he was born. He spent a considerable portion of his early life chopping wood and clearing timber. He has made a very successful farmer, and is the owner of 294 1/2 acres of land where he resides. Mr. Staggers was united in marriage December 27, 1857, with Rebecca, daughter of Robert and Salona (Renner) Morris. Her parents were natives of Greene County, and of Dutch ancestry. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Staggers are Hannah, James and Sarah A. Mrs. Staggers, who was a member of the Church of God, died in Jackson Township in 1873. In politics Mr. Staggers is a Republican.”
