My father was Hardy Stampley from Fayette, Mississippi. He died in 1980 at the age of 59. We live in Michigan. I saw a picture of my grandmother a very long time ago. She was in a rocking chair. That is the only memory I have of her besides the stories my dad once told. He had sisters and brothers too. All deceased now. I was told that his dad fathered upwards of 30 or more children with 2-3 wives. I was told that our great grands were slaves. My dad moved to Chicago from Mississippi, then to Michigan. He had 10 children. My mother is still alive. There are a few Stampley's here in Michigan, some still in Chicago. We lost touch with the Binghams after Clyde Bingham died. One of our cousins married into the Bingham family here in Micigan. Maybe she knows of this woman that you are seeking. [email protected]
