All my relations; (#3) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Six kids who traveled the Oregon Trail from Missouri to Oregon in 1851: Cuthbert Stump Jr about 5 years old, was born about 1846 in Missouri. Revinna Stump who was about 7 years old, was born about 1844 in Missouri. Leonard Stump who was about 9 years old, was born about 1842 in Missouri or possibly Virginia. Marvilla Stump who was about 12 years old, was born about 1839 in Missouri. American Ann Cathern Stump (my ancestor), who was 15 years old, was born in 1836 in St. Charles County, Missouri. Adam Stump who was 16 years old, was born in 1835 in Missouri. And an older brother Mortimer Stump who was 20 years old along with their parents Cuthbert STUMP, a farmer who was born on 2 Jan 1809 in Hardy County, Virginia/West Virginia and their mother Perlina YOCUM STUMP who was born in 1807 Hardy/Hampshire Co, VA/WV. They all traveled the Oregon Trail possibly from Lawrence County, Missouri, arriving in Oregon on 20 Sep 1851, settling on a Donation Land Claim. The older brother Mortimer was later murdered in 1858 by his new father-in-law Dan BALCH. Mr. BALCH was convicted of the murder and hanged in 1859 in Portland, Oregon; the first legal hanging there.
