Notes

Minnie: The Social Security Death Index lists a Minnie Staggs (SSN 400-46-0985) born 22 Jul 1904, died Sep 1975. The SSN was issued in Kentucky. Last residence was Bonnieville, Hart, Kentucky 42713. Could this be Minnie Edwards Staggs?

Sources

Jesse Staggs: Birth and Death are from the Social Security Death Index (SSN 707-03-0475). Last residence is assumed to be the deathplace. But there is another Jesse Staggs in the SSDI (SSN 563-03-9283) born 8 Mar 1905 (SSN issued Calif.) who died in Oct 1981 in Fallbrook, San Diego, California. In addition, the California Death Index lists a Jesse O. Staggs (spouse "M.W.") who died 4 Sep 1978 in Fresno County, California. Which one is our Jesse?
