The question about the birth and death dates for Adam Stump has been resolved. Linda Houyouse was kind enough to send me a photo of the headstone for Adam Stump. The following is the transcription. Adam Stump Died May 16, 1896 Aged 78 Y. 2 M. 13 D. This translates to a birth date of 3 Mar 1818, which is the date listed in the family bible and in "Alexander Mack the Tunker and Descendants" -- Rev. Freeman Ankrum (1943).
