2. FHL 929.273 W181sh book "Wamplers in America," by Genevieve M. Shouse, pp. 7-10: "Hans Michael Wampler... died in 1789 in Wythe County, Virginia and is probably buried in St. Paul Lutheran Cemetery there. He was an Elder in St. Paul church in 1782 when a tract of land containing 100 acres was surveyed for the use of the congregation... A record of his marriage has not been found but he was probably married about 1746, presumably in Lancaster County, PA. The given name of his wife was Elizabeth. Nothing further is known about her except that she survived her husband and was living with a son, Peter, in 1807 when she gave testimony in a court case 'Wampler vs Wampler' involving her husband's land in Wythe Co., VA... The last legal transaction found for Michael Wampler was on 18 Apr 1789, when he transferred by deed, all of his personal estate to Michael Wampler, Jr. and Stophel (nickname for Christopher) Wampler. His personal estate consisted of livestock and all of his houshold furnishings. The deed was recorded in Montgomery Co., VA on 1 Dec 1789. This date may be very close to the date of Michael Wampler's death. His wife, Elizabeth, made reference to the fact that shortly before her husband died he had conveyed all of his personal property to Stophel and Michael and said that he ought to have given it to George. This reference was made in the testimony of Elizabeth Wampler during the court proceedings of 'Wampler vs Wampler' in Wythe Co., VA. The names of all the children who survived Michael Wampler were listed in a deed in Wythe Co., in 1805. Their names were listed in the following order: George Wampler, Christopher Wampler, Peter Wampler, Michael Wampler, Elizabeth Abel, Caty Harden, Lovice Wampler, Jacob Kinser and Esther, his wife. Elizabeth Abel, Caty Harden, Louisa Wampler, Jacob Kinser and his wife, Esther, and Michael Wampler released their interest in their father's 270 acre estate in Wythe Co., to their brothers, George Wampler, Christopher Wampler and Peter Wampler on 15 Jul 1805. On 16 Dec 1805, Peter Wampler assigned his interest in his father's estate to his brother, Christopher Wampler. Apparently this was not a satisfactory arrangement because it was on 18 Apr 1807 that Christopher Wampler filed his bill in Superior Court of Chancery of Wythe Co., against George Wampler, his brother. Following is part of the bill where Christopher Wampler was: '...humbly complaining... that on the ___day of ___1789 Michael Wampler departed this life intestate leaving Elizabeth his widow and relict, four sons towit: George Wampler, Peter Wampler, Michael Wampler and your Orator Christopher. Also four daughters towit: Elizabeth, 'Easther,' Caty and Lovlis... that during his said father's lifetime it was well known to the family that he intended to divide the whole of his lands amongst his sons. Your Orators sisters therefore released their rights of the whole of the said lands for the sum of 100 dollars to your Orators said brother and himself. Your Orator further states that the said father in his lifetime had permitted the said George Wampler... to settle on the lower end of that tract of land whereon he then lived and promised to give him a part thereof but had never divided off or converyed the same...'
