Toban, and Becky who married a Stamper. Polly Samper was born about 1756, probably a daughter of Johathan Stamper. About 1773, she married Thomas Towsin, who is accopunted for in Surry County's list of taxables. Towsin has 1 poll and is in Benjamin Cleveland's district. He and Polly had two daughters, Polly and Becky, before he died, apparently in 1776. It is not known whether he was a casualty of the Revolution. (The Adams Families of Southeast Kentucky, D.A.
