W. S. STAMPS, head of household, b.June 1849, 50 yrs old, married 17 years, born in MS, Father born in MS, Mother born in MS.

1920 census (Lea Count, NM)states: William S. STAMPS-(Living with his daughter, Eunice (STAMPS) and son-in-law, Marion Wiley PRUIT) age: 70, Widowed, Born in MS, Father born in TN, Mother born in TN.

My line descends from Eunice STAMPS/Marion Wylie "Buck" PRUIT. As you can see, I don't have alot to go on yet, (and unfortunately, no living relatives who know about the Stamp/Stamps family). I have seen references to STAMPER in my preliminary search, and wondered if STAMPS/STAMP has been found as a derivative of STAMPER.

"His second marriage was solemnized in Sacramento, March 24, 1867, uniting him with Miss Elizabeth N. Stamper, of Bath county, Ky., ... Mrs. Ball is of Scotch ancestry and was not only closely related to the Neely family of Welsh descent, and the Ralstons of Scotch ancestry, but also to Martha Washington, of Virginia. Her great uncle, John Neely, was one of the earliest settlers of Virginia and an Indian fighter. Her great-grandfather, Joseph Neely, before the Revolutionary war, with his wife and a few neighbors defended a blockhouse in Kentucky from the onslaught of the Indians."

Our connection is with Naomi's mother, Callie Edith BLITCH BARNETT, who is Granny's sister. Thanks, Judy Uplinger-Brannon

Am trying to help Mr. Dwayne Treat of Arkansas with his Stamper ancestor. Please help if you can. Ellen Stamper, born about 1859 in Kentucky. Married Remington W. Tolliver about 1878-79 in or around Rowan Co., KY. Ellen bore three children, then died 6 April 1883, probably in Rowan Co. Can anyone help?

Does anyone have the children of William stamper who married Nancy Wilson on Feb 7, 1820 in Wilkes Co., NC?

I am trying to find the Frankie Stamper that married Jesse Toliver and their descendants, does anyone have Jesse's parents?

[note from Kay Inman; For those who might have ANY information for Robert, his "Frankie" is person number 1 on report #1i from the Descedancy Report Menu of our web site. It is Jesse Toliver/Tolliver/Taliaffero that he really needs help with.

QUERY: I located and spoke with by phone in July of 1996, a Margie STAMPER Hooper of Jersyville, Jersy County, IL. She told me all she could remember of STAMPER folks in that area and I would appreciate corresponding with anyone who might recognize the names: Joseph & Joseph, Jr. STAMPER, Villette STAMPER Zimmerman, Alice STAMPER Gisy(?) and Curt STAMPER. Curt's father/grandfather she believed were Joseph & Joesph Jr.

I am searching for information on ESTHER STAMPER who married EDWARD L. O"SHAUGHNESSY cir. 1902. ESTHER died cir. 1908. They lived in Wellston, Jackson o. Ohio. I would appreciate any help. Esther STAMPER had a sister named SOPHIA STAMPER who 1st. married CASTLE and 2nd FRANK WOLFORD and they moved to PA. Thank you very much.[Comment from Kay Inman; est birth date abt 1880-1885? Do you know birth place?]

I'm new! I'm trying to find ANYTHING about my ancestress who has always been called Elizabeth STAMPER CARTER even though she was married and became Elizabeth DAVIDSON. I have the dandiest picture of her with more lines on her aged face than you can count! Here is what I know: Elizabeth STAMPER born:22 May 1796, place: North Carolina, md. 1st) _______ CARTER, son: Henry CARTER marr. Barbara CARMAN. died: 28 Jul 1865; md 2nd) Silas DAVIDSON, Dallas, Iowa, b. 1 Mar 1794, place: Virginia, died:
21 Jul 1879, place: Van Meter Twp., Dallas, Iowa. His 1st wife was Phoebe LEWIS, born: NC, died: KY. What this doesn't tell you is that Elizabeth (Stamper) and Silas DAVIDSON lived in Montgomery County, Indiana and had two children there: Daniel Nave DAVIDSON b. 6 Sep 1832, and Robert DAVIDSON b. 28 Jun 1836.

POSSIBILITES? 1) Could Elizabeth Stamper Carter have had an illegitmate son who took her last name? 2) If so, then her middle name was STAMPER and her last name could have been CARTER! (Her niece, Elizabeth Dent DAVIDSON, was given her mother's maiden name as a middle name. Is that a common practice?) 3) My mother told me last night that she had found an old genealogy worksheet of my grandmother's. It stated, "Her parents moved to Hendricks County, Indiana in 1828." 4) Henry CARTER was born in Kentucky and later shows up on a Hendricks, IN census in the northern part of Eel River Township, Hendricks County, IN by many other Carters. 5) That would mean that the Washington GW STAMPER written in the Bible record I sent to the list was a relative from her mother's side of the family. Could he be a nephew? 6) Are there "Bastard Lists" in Kentucky like there were in North Carolina? If so, Henry CARTER might be listed there.

[note from Kay Inman] I am inclined to believe that THIS Elizabeth was a Stamper because of her obvious ties to GW STAMPER. (see bible recs) Can't comment on the legitimacy of Henry, as I have absolutely no information to even make a guess.

I am still seeking informaton on Mary A. STAMPER. b.Ky. Apr 7,1827 d.Davies Co., Mo.Sep 23,1902. She married George M. UTZ in Boone Co., Ky. Dec 20 1849. George was a native of Boone Co. but I found George and Mary in the 1850 Greenup Co., Ky. ceusus. They lived in Greenup Co. Ky for four years befor moving to Davies Co. Mo.

There has to be a connection between William and my Mary A. Utz maybe her brother. Can anyone tell me the parents of William H. Stamper?

I found, in my 1883 Boone Co. Atlas on page 41, Wm. H. Stamper. It says that he was a native of Owen Co. Ky., moved to Boone Co. in 1851, owned 50 acers and his occupation was farmer and merchant.

Also, under Burlington Business Referenes: WM. H. STAMPER, Dealer in Dry Goods, Groceries,&c. Produce taken in Exchange for Goods. Store 2 1/2 miles N.W. of Union. This is on page 10 of the atlas.

Also, on page 11 is W.H. Stamper living on Burlington Rd. in Burlington Precinct. On page 17 is Store of W.H. Stamper. His store is next to Pleasant Hill and is N.W. of Union in Union Precinct.
