Stivers, 1900 - Pioneer Character Sketches Page 654 -"William Wamsley was the youngest son of Isaac Wamsley and the grandfather of the extensive family of that name scattered over the State of Ohio. He settled upon the fertile banks of the Scioto Brush Creek, right at the mouth of Scioto Turkey Creek, and purchased all the bottom land upon both sides of this creek from its mouth five miles up the stream, being careful to follow, in his line of survey, the base of the mighty hills which enclose this valley upon both sides of this stream.The land was entered for him by William Bayless. William Wamsley was married to Sarah Wikoff about the year 1798. Of this union nine children were born, eight boys and one girl. Leah, the daughter died at an early age. In naming their children the strong religious sentiment seemed to prevail, for all were given Bible names save two, as follows: Peter, Isaac, William, John, Samuel and Christopher (twins), Leah, Amos and Jesse. All these men were devoutly religious and members of the M. E. Church, and every one of them uncompromising Democrats of the "Old Hickory" stripe. [S8] Ancestry World Tree Project., Wamsley, Thomas.
