Timothy Hobson Stamps Birth: May 15, 1820, Pittsylvania Co., Va. Death: May 14, 1895 Swisher Co., Texas THE BAPTIST STANDARD, TEXAS August 1, 1895 (p. 7) Extracts from a Letter by B. F. Stamps, Tahlequah, I.T. (B. F. Stamps was a missionary to Tahlequah, Cherokee Nation, Indian Territories in Tahlequah, Oklahoma) A few extracts from a letter written by my uncle T. H. Stamps, of Whitfield, Texas, who worked several years as missionary in the Panhandle. He began preaching while in Lee's army, where he commanded a battery. His chaplain was a worthless character; consequently he had to do the work of the chaplain himself. Ever since the war he has been fighting in the army of Jesus in Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky and Texas. Although he lacked but a day of being seventy-five years old, he died with his armor on. This is perhaps the last letter he ever wrote, as he was starting to a meeting where he took sick and died in a few days. It was dated May 6, and he died May 14. He leaves but one child, Rev. J.J. Stamps of the North Texas Baptist College, at Jacksboro. But the letter: "Well, we Baptists in this neck of the woods are in a fight. Our association meets in convention next Friday, to see if we would not better divide. We have Hardsides and Martinites, and several other sort of "ites;" and each "ite" thinks he is the association, and every other one is a heretic, lunatic, or some other kind of objectionable "tic." Well, I thank God that not a single church that I organized has any of the "ites" in them. All are at peace, and will not be in this fight except as dragged into it. I have often heard that new counties were the places to show up every kind and shade of opinion, and was exactly the soil for the growth of all the "isms" without the aid of fertilizers. Well, I can say with emphasis that this is so; and while I detest the condition of things with the intensity that Bill Arp expressed his dislike for bedbugs, it is here and we have to face it. I am thankful that the church at Tulia, which is the largest and most influential church in the association, is a unit in all Baptist enterprises as well as doctrines, and can't be affected by the trouble. Nor can the churches in her end of the association. We are old fashioned Missionary Baptist(s), contribute to all branches of our missionary work; and while our growth has not been rapid, it has been steady and healthy. Though we have not many wealthy members, we have some, and liberal ones they are. We regret that such a state of things should exist, but it all comes of appointing loose missionaries, who, anxious to report churches constituted and a big work done, take in the ring-streaked, grizzly and gray, and when the sifting time comes, then comes the trouble. May God guide you in your work. Your Uncle, T. H. STAMPS Whitfield, Texas, May 6, 1895 Timothy H. Stamps married Labinda L. Lipscomb (born Dec. 1, 1824, died October 30, 1872). Timothy H. Stamps was the son of Timothy Stamps (son of Leannah Dodson and John Stamps / Timothy Stamps was born January 19, 1779, died October 21, 1867) and Mary "Polly" Stamps (daughter of Ellinor Brent and William Stamps / Mary Stamps was born April 24, 1783, died May 7, 1850). Timothy and Mary Hobson Carter,(his second wife) were married December 30, 1811 in Halifax, Virginia. After the death of his wife, Timothy H. Stamps and his only surviving son John Judson Stamps left Pittsylvania County, Virginia, to join his brother John Hopson Stamps in Murray, Kentucky. While there, John Judson (who had studied at the University of Virginia in Charlottsville) continued his studies at Bethel College in Russellville, Kentucky, where he became an ordained Baptist minister. A couple years later, they were in Pewee Valley, Kentucky, where J.J. Stamps helped form Pewee Valley Baptist Church (later renamed Crestwood). In 1877, J.J. enrolled in the first Louisville class of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; J.J. married Dollie Barnett (daughter of Rev. William Paddox Barnett & Jane Day) and pastored the Pilgrim Baptist Church in the "Butchertown" section of Louisville. After 1880, T.H., J.J. & Dollie (with daughter Mabel) travelled as Missionary Baptists, founding new baptist churches in Aberfoil & Perote, Alabama, Garden City, Missouri, and, finally, Texas. In Texas, Timothy H. Stamps and I. B. Kimbrough were the first (baptist) missionaries to reach the western plains area of Texas in October of 1890. Within two years Rev. T. H. Stamps and I. B. Kimbrough had organized on the South Plains area alone fourteen churches as well as a few churches to the East and North, making a total of seventeen churches in the counties of Briscoe, Swisher, Hale, Floyd, Crosby, and Lubbock. Among the many churches founded by Rev. Timothy H. Stamps and Rev. Isaac Barton Kimbrough were the First Baptist Church of Lubbock, Texas, and the First Baptist Church of Plainview, Texas.
