This photo is of my grandfather, Marion Stamper and twelve of his thirteen children. One son was deceased at the time. Marion Stamper was born in Wise Co., VA in 1856 and died in 1953 at the age of 97. He was the son of Joseph Stamper and Malinda Phipps Stamper of Ashe Co., NC and the great grandson of Jonathan Stamper, Jr. and Mary Davis Stamper. |
