Kathie,
Since one of your Stampers m in Olive Hill, KY the chances are really good that your father-in-law descends from one of the Stamper families who lived in Carter Co KY and appears on the 1840 census in that County.
This Stamper family lived next to my own
Wilburn ancestors and they were related in some fashion.
If I am correct here, then your Stamper ancestors is also connected to the Blevins & Osborne families too.
As far as I can determine, ALL Stamper families in eastern KY by 1850, descend from the same colonial VA Stamper ancestor.I'm just applying logic here.There are always exceptions to rules.So lets just say this is highly likely.
At any event, there are still many Stamper families living in Carter co KY today. And they should all be distant kin.
Cheers,
