She was the daughter of Jonathan Stamper, who was an early settler in Surry (later Wilkes) County.
The Stamper family arrived in 1767 from Amherst County, Virginia, according to Revolutionary War pension applications filed by Jonathan's sons Joel and Jacob Stamper.
Jonathan Stamper's name first appears on a tax list in Surry County in 1771.
During the 1770's and 1780's, he bought and sold a number of parcels of land on Bugaboo Creek and the Roaring River in Wilkes County, NC.
Jonathan Stamper died testate in Wilkes County in 1799. His will names his wife Rachel, son Jesse, and "rest of my children" (not identified). (Wilkes WB 1, p.509.)* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Mar 10 2022, 19:47:57 UTC
