Following are penned notes from my husband's files: 1. 1683 Germans to Germantown, Phila. Suburb - 1/3 of Penna. with Germans by Amer. Revo. 2. 1714 - German Redemptioners sent to Falls of Rappahannock where they became Colony of Germanna. 3. 1718 - Scotch-Irish mostly settled in Western Pa. 4. 1732 Justus Hite (German) led group from York PA to Winchester. Va. (No indication as to his religious association.) Other surnames taken from land records and some marriage records - all in Muhlenberg Co. KY during the tenure of Elder Francis Stump: Jacob Rhoads; D. Kimmel (apparent male married C. HUNSACKER) numerous spellings such as Hunsinger, etc.; Geo. Hunsaker (perhaps one named in Francis' Will). The old handwritten will of Francis does not show a surname for the David which has become Stump in later wills - which clearly show completely rewritten by the same hand. I found a similar happening on another line - the female name had been transcribed as Sara and when I got the original land record it was quite plain as Leah - which showed in other papers. So it can happen. Many more Ripples, Willis, Washabaughs (no indication they were Brethren); Roth (assumed to be Rhoads); Barbara (assumed daughter of Elder Francis Stump married a Frampton); I'll continue checking, but since the following appears in the land records, - and they are scattered: Muhlenberg became a county in 1799; it was Lincoln from 1780-1792; Logan from 1792-1797; Christian 1797-1799. There were no death records in Kentucky prior to 1852. The first land purchase of Elder Francis Stump was from a Rhoads - and the land is described from a Warrant to a Biggerstaff - naturally the description cannot be located during the last century. I did get a USGS Survey dated 1911 from the Univ of Ariz. and worked with the City Engineer in Tuscon trying to locate the land - from the several drawings of the Biggerstaff warrant we could not quite complete the land because one vital measurement was missing. It raised the question of the warrant of the land may have been on the edge of Butler Co. KY (Butler created 1810). This was because the Title to the land went to so many different people after Rhoads sold part to Elder Francis Stump. Not finally settled to Biggerstaff heirs until mid-1800s. My feeling is that the Ripple sand Washabaughs - (married to Stump family members) were not Brethren - or they left the Brethren beliefs when they emigrated to Edgar and Clark Counties, Illinois. My husband's records of the blood line descent from David (Washabaugh) Stump and wife Catharine Ripple are quite complete. There are many related collateral lines which show no association with Brethren records. As I continue to try and get all these records (many are duplicated) in order, I'll send anything I think will help you. Please let me know if you have questions about anything I've written or anything you think may be in all this paper-work. Good luck on your book. Liz Stump
