'Marriages of some Virginia Residences' by Wulfeck. Series 1, Vol. 5, p. 16 5. Thomas Oneby m. 27 Jul
1727 to Mary Stamper at Christ Church.
Correspond esce to the above remark is a notation from Mr. George Dewey Ownbey: 'I believe the
Thomas Oneby you mentioned, marrying Mary Stamper is somehow connected wit h Powell Stamper
Ownbey, who was killed by a fallen tree on Bald Mountain about a mile from where I lived in 1815.
His grave is close by where he was killed. He had gone, very early in the morning to chop down a tree
to make an Ash troug h for his wife. She called him to breakfast, he turned to answer her and the tr ee
fell. The accident took place on Johny Warren's place - also on Bald Mountai n, where Powell and his
family were living at the time of his death. Buried dow n the branch from where the Warren place - At
Standing Cap Stone, the spot wher e they stood when hunting. Bill Warren was a heavy bearded man
and seemed to kn ow he wanted Carl Searcy to work for him and (Carl) being kid like was usually
hard to find.'
