Info on Robert Hampton:
Robert Hampton was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama to William Hampton and Annie Maddox. He was known to have spent most of the ragtime era and many years after in St. Louis, Missouri after many years in his youth in the Little Rock, Arkansas area. The 1900 census listed him as living in Little Rock, Arkansas, with his widowed mother Annie and his older brother William "Willie" (11/1886), who had been born in Georgia.

The birth date on the 1900 enumeration is in question at variance with his official date listed on his WWI draft card, showing September of 1890 in the census and July 25, 1891 for the draft. For the record, his California death certificate splits the difference,cataract rag cover showing a birth date of August 10, 1890, so that will be accepted as potentially the most accurate for this essay. Hampton's tombstone shows an August 10, 1891 date. It is possible that he simply was not entirely sure of his actual birth date.

Hampton was next shown living in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1910 with his mother and Willie, now listed as a musician at 19 years old. His reputation would grow quickly over the next few years, and Robert was known by some to be a masterful performer. He was also an influence to many of the St. Louis school of ragtime artists, including Artie Matthews, Charlie Thompson and Charles Hubbard.

Even Ferdinand "Jelly Roll" Morton potentially recalled Hampton (he referred to a Bob Hamilton, but no musician Bob Hamilton was known in St. Louis) as an inspiration to him, and perhaps even a bit of a threat within Morton's subtext according to some stories.
