Oliver Stamper in his book Descendants of James Stamper 1750-1826 terms James
Stamper as “farmer, trapper, hunter, and trader”. He says that James and wife
Sarah Moore Stamper arrived in Kentucky sometime between 1796 and 1825 and that
they may have first lived in what is now Letcher Co., Kentucky before migrating
to Morgan Co., Kentucky. James Stamper apparently had several daughters in
addition to the two sons identified by Oliver Stamper. The 1790 census of
Randolph Co., North Carolina lists a Jammez Stamper with three sons and six
daughters. It seems that most or all of the daughters had already married in
North Carolina, and when James decided to accompany his sons to Kentucky they
did not follow. James and his wife Sarah are buried at or near Grassy Creek in
Morgan Co., Kentucky.
James Stamper's general movements can be documented by his appearance in various
tax lists and census records:
1774 - Surry Co., NC tax list
1779 - Randolph Co., NC tax list
1782 - Montgomery Co., VA tax list
1784 - Wilkes Co, NC tax list
1790 - Randolph Co., NC census
1820 - Clay Co., KY census
