Notes for Robert “Bob” Steagall or Stigall
His death certificate records Robert Stigall, age 67, date and place of birth blank, died 2 Feb 1936 in Rowan Co., father Louis Stigall, mother’s maiden name Mary Ann Mauk, cause of death chronic nephritis, informant Golda Stigall, burial in Jones Cemetery.
The mother’s maiden name is probably incorrect. Records for Lewis’s other children are consistent in reporting their mother’s maiden name as McMillan or McMillion, and the 1880 census listed Lewis’s wife Mary A. as 53 at the time, so there is no reason (other than this death record) to believe he remarried to a second wife also named Mary Ann. The informant Golda was the wife of Robert’s son William, and most likely was simply mistaken about her grandmother-in-law’s maiden name.
