Thought I would just jump right in on this new list....hope someone is out there besides me...... For two years I've been trying to establish the line of Margaret "Maggie" Stamper Lackey [born 1861 in Iredell - died 1929 in Alexander]. Married - Thomas Preston "Press" Lackey in 1879 in Iredell. 8 children Siblings - James Melmath Stamper(married an ALLEY and a WHITLEY), Gilbert A. Stamper (married a MILLS and a BRADLEY) and possibly R.A. Stamper was also a brother. Parents - Mothers name was Mary "Polly" ?/father possibly J. Hugh Stamper Father said to died as a result of civil war. MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES: for James Melmath show parents J & M.E. Stamper. for Gilbert A. shows parents as Hugh & Mary Stamper. for Maggie shows parents as ? & Polly Stamper. Death Certificate for R.A. shows parents as Ab. & Polly Stamper. Census findings - Living in household of Catherine Coburn Stamper in 1870 with M.E. Stamper. Catherine Stamper living in household of Eliz. Campbell in 1860 w/ Polly Stamper Catherine Stamper living in household of G.W. Stamper in 1880. Catherine is widow of John Stamper - children, M.E. "Polly", Gilbert, George, Margaret Hopefully someone will recgonize a surname and see a connection. Sherry
