Merle, I believe that I can resolve most of your questions. 1. The Stump family bible (photo via Linda Houyouse e-mail) says, "Adam Son of Benjamin and Mary Stump." This may be new information for you. 2. The birth date you have for Catharine (Stump) Longanecker most likely is wrong. "Alexander Mack the Tunker and Descendants" -- Rev. Freeman Ankrum (1943) has the dates as Nov. 7, 1815 and Nov. 15, 1879. Her age in the census isn't consistent but it fits better with a birth year of 1815 than with a birth year of 1818. 3. Lydia Longanecker (m. Adam Stump) and Samuel Longanecker (m. Catharine Stump) were gr-gr-grandchildren of Alexander Mack (1679-1735), through their mother, Sarah (Mack) Longanecker.
