Person:Sarah McGlone (1)

From: Sadie Sowards To: Darrell Warner Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2003 9:03 PM Subject: Re: Russell Pitts

Sarah McGlone is definetly Russell Pitts` mother, she married a George Washington Stamper, and he died before 1900, and Russell used the last name of Stamper. He is actually Robert Russell Stamper, so if you have a Robert and a Russell listed as the children of Sarah McGlone, they are one and the same, he used both names, but in family circles he was Russell. Sarah`s middle name was Eda, not Edith. This is the correct family but she only has four children, William, George Washington (Washington), Bessie and Robert Russell. There was no marriage to the Pitts guy, and Watt, and Walter are cousins of Russell. They are Joe (Joseph) McGlone`s sons, and I do not know who the Alma is. Joe is a brother of Sarah. Thanks for replying, I was hoping that someone may have actually known for a fact who Russell`s father was.

HI Sadie,

            Thanks for the letter.  My information comes from an old McGlone researcher who passed away a few years back.  I tried to find his name in my records but when I first got involved in the research about 10 years ago I did not keep records and I can not find anything on it.  As you are a direct family member I will bow down and say you are the expert on this line.  

Are you saying that Sarah McGlone was not the mother?

Thanks, Darrell

I have seen on ancestry that you have Russell Pitts as the son of Sarah Eda (Edith) McGlone. How did the family come up with the unknown Pitts as Russell`s father. I am not doubting this, but just interested as this Russell is my grandfather, and he used the name of Stamper as his last name, because that was his mothers name. We did know he was an illegitimate child of Sarah as well as his sister Bessie, but according to our family he was a Frazier, and Aunt Bessie was a Scott. I can see in the census records that a Mr. Pitts was the grandfather of a Mr. Frazier, they lived in the same household, and both were of the age that were able to have produced a child. I believe the Mr. Pitts was an uncle by marriage to Sarah`s husband George Washington Stamper. The census record show them living very close to Sarah.

Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

I was just researching for some Zornes, and your info popped up on the Stamper. You have a Washington Stamper married to a Sarah Edith McGlone. Sarah and George only had George Washington and William. The other sons are not their children. Watt, Walter, and Alma are related to William and Washington. I am not exactly sure as to how, except they are not sibblings, I believe they were cousins. I can remember meeting Watt and Walt as a child, and I believe they lived in Vanceburg. Sarah was widowed in the late 1890`s. Sarah`s middle name is Eda. Sarah moved to Scioto County between 1910 - 1920, and all four children are living with her in 1920 plus a daughter in law which is George Washington`s wife Elizabeth (Lizzie). I am the granddaughter of Robert Russell Stamper, illegitimate son of Sarah Eda McGlone Stamper.
