In the pension application of Jacob Stamper (1762-1834) dated October 1, 1832, it states: 'resides Exceedingly indigent circumstances and totally unable to provide for himself and family by reason of his almost total blindness in which condition he has been for several years past'. This disease is called Retinitis Pigmentosa and it is a progressive degenerative disease of the retina of the eye. This results in night blindness and a total loss of vision in later life.

From Cheryl Malo: Rev War pension app for Jacob states he fought at King 's Mtn, and was a scout. Served with brothers Joshua and Jesse, and b-i-ls Toliver and Burton. On a trip to the New River area, they captured and hung a Tory, believed to be Zachariah Goss, according to Draper Manuscripts. Jacob had a land entry in 1779 for 100 acres near Little Mountain. Jury duty in 1801 in Wilkes Co, NC and 'lay off road' in 1803. History of Wilkes Co gives Jacob's birth year as 1762. (The family would have still been in Amherst Co, VA that year?).

Per records of Jackie Stamper (1997) Jacob to Wilkes Co, NC abt 1767, Gallitin co, KY 1810, to Eagle Creek, Owen Co, KY 1813. In 1778 Jacob entered the Am. Rev. in service of the United States as a volunteer in a company commanded by Capt. Richard Allen and Wm. Reynolds was the lieutenant and that the company was attached to a regiment commanded by Colonel Benjamin Cleveland. Jacob was a resident of Wilkes co, NC and was about 16 years old when he volunteered.

In the book, 'The Heritage of Wilkes County', there is an article submitted by the late Samuel Elihu Sebastian, Sr. It states, 'Joel, Jacob, and Joshua STAMPER and the son-in-laws, John P. BURTON and Jesse TOLLIVER served in the Revolutionary War. Jacob Stamper was a man of small stature, served as a mounted scout, he not being able to walk long trips. Jacob and his sons Jesse and Jonathan went to Cincinnati, Ohio, where they made brick and built brick houses. They later came back to Owen Co, Kentucky and spent their last days there'. This book goes on to state, 'Jesse married Nancy SEBASTIAN and his brother Jonathan, married Mary SEBASTIAN her sister, daughters of Benjamin Sebastian of Wilkes Co, N. C.'

Stamper Footprints states he was less than 5 feet tall. He traveled to Cincinnati with two sons, Jesse and Johnathan, to build brick houses. Later the three traveled to Owen Co, KY where the two sons met and married two Sebastian sisters.served in Rev War.

Per Judy ; It is my understanding that they were in Wilkes Co. then went on to Ky. For some reason Jacob Stamper moved back and forth for a few times before he finally settles in Owen Co. What is interesting is that Jonathan's son, Hugh, married an Owen Co girl and settled there. The others did not. Hugh has been said to be a son of Jesse Stamper, but his son was named Hiram. All of Jesse's 17 children have been accounted for and Hugh is not one. It seems that our families were more mobile than was previously thought.
