Royal Franklin "Frank" Wampler was the oldest child born to Royal Edward Wampler and Goldena Gilmore Wampler all born in Bicknell, Indiana. He had a younger sister, Anna Elizabeth Wampler Messel, born January 27, 1914 in Bicknell, Indiana

Royal Franklin "Frank" Wampler first marriage was to Mildred Rose Sterrett Wampler Rockwell on 21 Feb 1931, in Marion County, Indiana, USA, and they had Franklin Eugene Wampler on 23 September 1931 , Coleman Hospital, Indianapolis, Marion. The marriage ended in divorce in 1938.

Frank then married Evelyn Lorean Fisher Ragsdale Wampler White in 1941, and had indicated in his marriage application he had no children as of 1941, which was untrue as he already had a ten year old child, Frank Eugene Wampler.

In 1942 or 1943, Frank Royal Wampler married Jacqueline Lee Dillahay Wampler and together had one child in 1944, Robert Erwin Wampler of Indianapolis, IN. After Jacqueline's death in 1949, Frank Royal Wampler married Lucille Robinson Wampler on June 25, 1956 in Marion County, Indiana (as noted as the informer in the death certificate).
