 Stamper Court Records
Extracted from Stamper Court Records, Middlesex County, Virginia, 1673-1852, by Betty M. Maynard and sent to us by James A. Stamper

3rd May 1690 - "Ordered that ye sher: doe sumonds Mrs Cary Stamper to ye next Courte to be held for this County to give security for ye Estate of Mr Jno Stamper her decd husband according to an inventory Returned of ye same." (There were several other attempts to get her to appear in court.)

7th March 1697 - "The Inventory of the Estate of Elizabeth Stamper, decd was Returned in open Court and Admitted to Record." (Wonder who she was.)

8th July, 1707 - "Ordered that Henry Barnes and Cary his wife be summoned to ye next court to give an account of ye estate of Jno Stamper and Peter Tindall, decd." (Because various people held claims upon the estate of John Stamper, the settlement of the estate apparently dragged on for years.)
