Hi Joe, I too have Stumps in Ohio, however mine are from Laurel Township in Hocking County which I know is not far from Circleville. Their first names were John, Samuel and Phillip. I am descended from Samuel who may be the son of John. Phillip may have been a brother of Samuel and he moved to northern Ohio at an early date. Oh what fond memories I have of the Circleville Pumpkin Show. My grandfather, who had a farm just outside Grove City, used to take my sister and me every year. By the way, we were born in Lancaster in Fairfield County. charla in nj Charla Marchione marchpubs@juno.com On Fri, 18 Jul 97 19:24:53 UT "Joseph McNemar" <Pumpkin_head@msn.com> writes: >I am new to this list and wanted to tell you a little about my >interest in Old >Frederick Co., VA.
