Among them was a man by the name of Michael, also Thomas Ross, Aca Cater, Jerry Plummer and two of Wash Goodpaster's sons whose names I have forgotten. We then went on some five miles to a man's house named Cecil and there put up for the night. Shortly after we got our horses fed we discovered a light some miles back the way we had come. We detailed twenty men to go see what was happening. They discovered that the Guerrillas had come in behind us and set fire to the home of a man named Vest which was destroyed. We immediately went in pursuit of them and surrounded them in the home of Big Jim Stamper. They showed fight and fired on us. We returned the fire, shooting through the cracks of t he log house and at the doors. When a door was torn down, they surrendered throwing their pistols into the yard. On entering the house we found old Stamper had been killed .'
Another letter written by Samuel Hurst to William Hurst on February 11, 1864 from Mt.

James B Stamper wasn't killed in the Ticktown Bridge Massacre by rebel scum who murdered five young draftees on their way to join the Army. He was killed in anti-terrorist operations against the band that perpetuated that outrage and others. "Old James Stamper" provided support and shelter for the bandits pretending to be rebel soldiers who infested the area. (I say pretended because many were deserters and none served in regular military units recognized by the Confederate government.) Google Henry C Hurst & letter to find original source for both the massacre and Stamper's death.

James B Stamper wasn't killed in the Ticktown Bridge Massacre by rebel scum who murdered five young draftees on their way to join the Army. He was killed in anti-terrorist operations against the band that perpetuated that outrage and others. "Old James Stamper" provided support and shelter for the bandits pretending to be rebel soldiers who infested the area. (I say pretended because many were deserters and none served in regular military units recognized by the Confederate government.) Google Henry C Hurst & letter to find original source for both the massacre and Stamper's death.

It was during the Civil War that James B. Stamper was killed by Federal troops on January 30, 1864. His allegiance was with the South. His grandson, William H. Tutt, was a member of Co. E, 2nd Battalion, Kentucky Mount ed Rifles, CSA. When James Stamper was killed, his grands on was a prisoner of war and confined at Camp Morton, Indiana. Also, James' nephew was Captain Hiram H. Stamper of the 13th Kentucky Cavalry. Hiram had been taker prisoner at Gladeville, Virginia in 1863. James B. Stamper's pro-southern support led to his death.
In a letter written by Daniel D. Hurst to William L. Hurst on February 10, 1864, an eyewitness account of the shooting is detailed. Daniel Hurst was one of one hundred Federal troops who were scouring the mountain region of eastern Kentucky for Confederate soldiers. His letter, in part, reads as follows: 'We went to Wash Goodpaster's and made a charge on the house and got so me nine or ten prisoners and very bad ones. Among them was a man by the name of Michael, also Thomas Ross, Aca Cater, Jerry Plummer and two of Wash Goodpaster's sons whose names I have forgotten. We then went on some five miles to a man's house named Cecil and there put up for the night. Shortly after we got our horses fed we discovered a light some miles back the way we had come. We detailed twenty men to go see what was happening. They discovered that the Guerrillas had come in behind us and set fire to the home of a man named Vest which was destroyed. We immediately went in pursuit of them and surrounded them in the home of Big Jim Stamper. They showed fight and fired on us. We returned the fire, shooting through the cracks of t he log house and at the doors. When a door was torn down, they surrendered throwing their pistols into the yard. On entering the house we found old Stamper had been killed .'
Another letter written by Samuel Hurst to William Hurst on February 11, 1864 from Mt. Sterling, Kentucky claimed, 'We killed old Jim Stamper and a ring leader of the Guerrillas by the name Hamilton and took 19 prisoners.' Information on the death of James B. Stamper supplied by Tutt Lambert, Paxton Lake, 1443 Nauticus Cove, Loveland, OH 45140. It is believed that some of James B. Stamper's marriages were common-law arrangements. Land deeds show that his farm was situated on Grassy Creek, Morgan Co, Kentucky per Oliver Stamper (1945): James B. Stamper (William, James), farmer.: b. December 13, 179 7, either in NC or in what is now Letcher Co, Kentucky.
