Sarah "Sally" Stamps

(Ca 1763 - Bef 1800)



Sarah "Sally" Stamps, married Samuel Murray Street in Henry Co.,VA. He was a private in Capt. James Hook's Company of the 13th Virginia Regiment, commanded by Col. William Russell of Pittsylvania Co., VA. Samuel Street enlisted in 1777 for three years. He attained the rank of major. General George Washington presented him with the sword of General Lord Cornwallis for meritorious conduct. After the conclusion of the war, he moved to North Carolina, probably to Surry County. In the 1790's he lived in Wilkes Co.,GA; during which time, he was granted a headright in Oglethorpe County. At this time, there were six in his family. Sarah Stamps was not mentioned in her father's last will, so she probably died prior to 1800. Samuel Murry Street married (2nd) his sister-in-law, Mary Stamps Street.

Some descendants of Samuel Murray Street disagree with the above, saying there is no proof Samuel was ever married to either of the Stamps girls. However, Samuel Street received a legacy from the estate of Thomas Stamps, their father, in the right of his wife Polly (Mary).
