Stamper Grave Marker Project The Stamper Family Association has been using much of the proceeds from the sale of EASTERN KENTUCKY KIN top purchase markers for unmarked or poorly marked graves of Stampers in Eastern Kentucky. To date we have been involved in the purchase of markers for 21 graves, either purchasing the markers outright or sharing the cost of the markers with the direct descendants of the deceased. We shared the cost of markers for Isaac and Polly (Adams) Stamper with descendant Jeanette Huff. We also purchased 2 infant markers for the Stamper-Stewart Cemetery, eight markers for John Whit and Lucinda Hogg Stamper and some of their descendants in the Jent Cemetery in Letcher Co as well as nine markers for various Stampers in Breathitt Co. In Breathitt County the markers purchased were for Jonathan and Nancy (Turner) Stamper; John Wesley Stamper; Henry; Hiram and Chaney (Bowling) Stamper; Fred Stamper; Kelly Stamper; and Emily (Stamper) Herald. For those who do not know, one hundred percent of the money we accumulate is used for the Stamper Research and the preservation of Stamper Family history. As sales of the book have slowed, so has our ability to purchase more markers. If any Stamper descendants with Eastern Kentucky origins would like to make a donation to our general cemetery fund, we would be most appreciative. You may send your non tax-deductable contributions to the Stamper Family Association, P.O. Box 135, Dwarf, KY 41739. We regret that small donations cannot be earmarked to buy a marker for a particular person. If you are willing to split the cost of a particular marker with us, we are open to discussion. Currently, we would like to authenticate the burial places of James and Sarah (Moore) Stamper, and their sons William and Thomas Moore Stamper and their spouses, thought to be buried near Grassy Creek in Morgan Co, KY. If anyone can provide specific information to the location of these graves, we would be most grateful. |
In Letcher County, stones have been bought and placed for John Whitt and Lucinda Stamper; along with stones for two daughters, Millie and Margaret Stamper; along with four stones for four unidentified family members. Stones have been placed for Joseph, Sr and Joseph, JR. |
