I don't have much firm information, but perhaps some help.
I believe the Jonathan Stamper referenced in the beginning of this thread is the brother
to my direct ancestor, Solomon Stamper. It appears the Stampers moved to Greene County
from North Carolina around 1840.
I'm related to the Greene County Arthurs too. My Solomon married Margaret Arthur in
Greene County in 1841. From census records, it appears Margaret was born around 1819,
probably in Kentucky.
I've worked with other Arthur researchers, and we believe (no firm documentation) that
Margaret was the daughter of Aaron Arthur and Sarah Unknown. Aaron was born around 1797 in
North Carolina and died between 1860 and 1870 in Greene County. Per census records, they
had 6 children (including Margaret). This Aaron had a brother, Joseph. I have not
pursued Joseph's line.
Let me know if it looks like we're looking at any of the same families!
