George Stamps

(Oct 1763 - Aft 1850)



George David/Davis [did he really have a middle name?] Stamps, born Oct. 1763 in Fauquier Co., VA.

An abstract of the Minutes of the Broad Run Baptist Church in FauquierCounty, reads: "On October 9, 1763 the following infants were received into the care of the church...George Stamps, son of Timothy Stamps."

George married Mary Lovell in Henry Co., VA; but the record shows no date. Mary was the sister of Daniel Lovell, senior Warden of the Masonic Order when it was organized on Sept 15, 1788 at the Pittsylvania County Court House.

On Dec. 31, 1802, George witnessed a deed in Oglethorpe Co., GA. On Sept. 26, 1804, he signed a receipt for his share of his father's personal estate. In 1805, he participated in a land lottery in Clarke Co.

Evidently, George moved back to Virginia. The 1830 census for Pittsylvania Co., VA indicated that he was 55 to 60 years old; and his wife was 50 to 60 years old. At home were two sons 10 to 15 who could be grandsons. He owned 8 slaves. When the 1850 census was taken for Pittsylvania Co., VA, he was 80 years old and lived with his son, William Stamps, 60 and Nancy Stamps, 65.
