You may want to contact Cornerstone Geneology in Waynesburg, PA. This historical society has a lot of information on the Staggers family and may be of help to you in your search. The do have obits for Thomas Staggers, his son, Peter Staggers, his wife, Sarah Chess Staggers and his daughter-in-law, Bertha Staggers. These were persons of interest to me. I did not attempt to follow the Chess side of the family. I am a beginner at this but this geneology society is made up of a wonderful group of people. There is a website for Cornerstone Genelogoy. Just type in the name and you should come up with the telephone number. There is also obit reference material on their website. Good Luck. Jean Riddle
