Monroe Mitchell Hampton was born 9-15-1855 in AL., died 1-24-1924 in Taney Co., MO.
He homesteaded 160 acres in Ozark Co., MO, 2-6-1892 (copy on file).
Married:
WIFE #1: Sarah Jane STACEY around 1874. She was born 6-7-1852 (other records say 1858 Taney Co., MO) and died 5-1-1927, buried near Coweta, OK in the Shahan Cemetery. There does not appear to be a marker.
She married Thomas MAYNARD after Monroe and had 5 children so the name on the tombstone is Sarah Jane MAYNARD.
Thomas MAYNARD and Sarah Jane had children: Jessie James, Leonard, Minnie, Chaney and Zonie.
Otto MAYNARD is a grandson of Jessie.
John H. Stacy is buried at BOYD Cemetery, 30 miles back in the mountains north of Russelville, Pope Co., AR.
Mackey (Larry) Hampton told me Sarah had cancer on her face somewhere as he had been told by other family members.
Sarah was the daughter (second child) of John H. STACY and Marietta "Etta" APPLEGATE. They had 15 children.
