Judy, I think I can provide quite a bit of information. There is a W. Stamp in lot 29 in the 1866 Gainesville Map. To see the map - http://www.rootsweb.com/~nycgaine/images/GainesvilleTownshipGainesPOCenter.g if The 1870 Gazetteer lists Stamp, Wm., (Gainesville) farmer 182. (not transcribed yet) I believe the 182 is acres owned, and (Gainesville) is the Post Office - so they lived near the village of Gainesville, rather than one of the other villages. Go to http://www.rootsweb.com/~nycgaine/CemMapleGrove.htm Most of the Stamps you listed are buried in Maple Grove, and listed on that webpage. Please do a "search" by doing edit-find, because along with the Stamp surnames, there are others listed in the spouse column or other comments. Using the Gainesville Census published by the Wyoming Co. historian, the Stamp family is listed in 1860 too: William 38 m farmer Eng Sarah 25 f Eng George 14 m Eng John 12 m Eng Catharine 10 f Eng Rebecca 8 f NY Edward 7 m NY William 5 m NY Isaac 2 m NY Mary E. 10/12 f NY This is exciting... they must have come to the US between about 1850 and 1853. There are a bunch in the 1880 census too, but let me stop here and get this much too you. There is a Riley J. Stamp married to Minnie A. Coax 1909 on the Silver Springs United Methodist church page of the website. Also, I am going to be copying the Gainesville United Methodist Church records early June. Check back with me later. I'm glad I can help.
