That's how the clone stamp tool works. The two are locked together and move together. Here's the relevant text from the documentation:

Note that the source point moves in the same path as the tool when cloning starts. This results in the tool path being copied as a stripe rather than just the source point.

If you're trying to copy the same source region to a number of destinations, try using copy/paste or the paint brush (for solid colors).
