I am researching my wife's family and have run into a brick wall. Does anyone have information regarding James W. Stamper, born 1866 and died 1945, buried in Wolfe County, Kentucky. He was married to Laura Bell Rouse, born 1867 and died 1928 also buried in Wolfe County, Kentucky. They had a daughter Lillie May Stamper, 1893-1967, who married Menifee Jackson Salley. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Michael & Carol (Salley) Cook North Carolina
