If we follow the source notation, of hm4-21, this leads us to:

[hm4-21]   Harvey George, WAMPLER
  b. 10Dec1832, Russell Co VA
  m. Dorothy Elizabeth CHANDLER
  sc. Dorothy from George Christian Wampler site

(Side notation: I have Dorothy Elizabeth's last name as Candler in my notes. Therefore, I may refer to her, if using her maiden name, as Dorothy Elizabeth Candler.)

The link shared for George Christian Wampler site, of www.claynet.com/athomas/wampler/, leads to a 404 Page Not Found. At the time of posting this information, I have not ascertained where the site was moved to ... therefore limited, at the moment, as to what is shared on the Database. Particularly when looking at the dates involved the odds are in favor of the Dorothy, listed as the source for the information for Harvey George Wampler, is not the Dorothy listed as Harvey's wife. This also means I do not have access to what information Dorothy originally shared about Harvey George Wampler through their personal web site.

My tactic is first to uncover what information is available for Stuart David Wampler as some of that may be of help to fill in the information gap. In doing this, I came across the following:

Stuart David Wampler, 87 of Fairlawn, passed away Monday, July 17, 2006 at his home. He was a Member of the Fairlawn Presbyterian Church for over 50 years. He was born [March 11, 1919] and raised in Russell County by his late parents Clarence A. and Martha Janie Johnson Wampler, also preceded in death by his wife of 58 years Edith Mattie Allen Wampler [daughter of Jesse W. and Lena P. Allen]. Survivors include three daughters and sons-in-law, Bonnie and Bill Bradberry of Christiansburg; Elaine and David Hite of Dublin; Teresa and Rick Vest of Canton, GA; seven grandchildren and spouses, Amanda and Jake Little, David Shumate, Shawn and Kim Hite, Ryan and Jamie Hite, Dexter Shumate, Ricky Vest Jr., and Tony Vest; four great-grandchildren, Justin Hite, Joshua Mayer, Austin Hite, Camden Hite; two sisters, Frances Gobble and Beulah Morris. Funeral services will be held 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, July 19, 2006 at Fairlawn Presbyterian Church with Rev. Terry Woodard officiating. Graveside services will be held Thursday at 12:00 noon at Highland Memory Gardens Mausoleum in Dublin. The family will receive friends Wednesday from 5 to 7 p.m. at Fairlawn Presbyterian Church. The family is in the care of Mullins Funeral Home in Radford.

There I hit a brick wall with this avenue. Going through FindAGrave links shared, for Stuart David Wampler's parents, it states Clarence Augusta Wampler and Martha Janie Johnson Wampler were interred in Temple Hill Memorial Park at Castlewood, Russell County, Virginia. On the created Memorial pages both Clarence and Martha's death dates are listed as "unknown" as of September 12, 2014. Martha is said to be the daughter of Levi Jarvis Johnson and Elizabeth Ivy.

On Clarence Augusta Wampler's Memorial page there is very little information shared (birthdate of April 11, 1874 in Carroll County, Virginia). On his wife's page, the person shared a birthdate of Feb. 22, 1879 and a(n unlinked) listing of children for the couple: Alverta Henrietta Wampler Greening 1904 xxxx, Charles Abel Wampler 1906 1996, Ray Pierce Wampler 1908 1992, Ernest Levi Wampler 1910 xxxx, Beulah Mary Wampler Morris 1912 xxxx, Alice Bell Wampler Fugate 1915 1938, Iris Ellen Wampler Farmer 1916 xxxx, Stuart David Wampler 1919 2006, and Frances Martha Wampler Gobble 1921 xxxx.

Referring back to the Wampler/Wampfler Database we can garner more information: [hm5-223]   Clarence Augusta, WAMPLER
  b. 11Apr 1874; Buchanan VA
  d. 3Sep1954
  m. Martha Jane JOHNSON (22Feb1879-9Jun1953); 24Jun1903 Clintwood VA
  sc. See hm5-223
  l. [he1-3]Hans->[hm2-2]George->[hm3-3]George->[hm4-21]Harvey=>

Which hm5-223 leads us to .. well, Clarence Augusta Wampler himself. None of the other children, listed on Martha Janie Johnson Wampler's Memorial page, on FindaGrave, are listed within the Wampler/Wampfler Database. So, using the information provided on those two sources, we have a bit of a mystery to work on in sorting the sources of the information shared!
