Individual Details

Eleanor said to be of Richmond Co VA.

Strangely Eleanor Stamps was not mentioned in the deed of gift from her father Elisha to the other children in 1791. Perhaps as eldest she had already received her share. The Dodson Family book assumed she had died but she was very much alive. She was named as a daughter of Elisha & Sarah also in Rev. Elias Dodson's manuscript and since she was his maternal grandmother, that seems credible. Her name is recorded as Leannah in some records, including the will of John Stamps, and some believe they may be two different ladies.

A note in the Dodson book, p.21, referring to the children of Joshua Dodson [a brother of Eleanor's father Elisha] shows a possible daughter named Eleanor. A grandson of Joshua, George Washington Dodson, said that his father had a sister, name not remembered, who married a Stamps. That would seem to indicate Eleanor was a daughter of Joshua, not Elisha. Of course given the numbers of Stamps and Dodsons, this could have been a different person altogether. This grandson could also have been mistaken about the relationship. He also said that one of his father's sisters had married a Creel. The Dodson lady that married a Creel was Alice who married William Creel and Alice was a sister to Joshua and Elisha and would have been in the grandfather's generation not the father's.
