Hi Judy: That is part of what the library in Nashville, so kindly sent to me. And you are right they are wonderful pictures and articles. Thanks, Allice

Allice, In an earlier post (to which I forgot to reply!) you mentioned obtaining some pictures and information about the Frederick Stump home and tavern here (Nashville). If you haven't already seen it, you might be interested in seeing Paul Clements, "A Past Remembered" published in 1987 that has wonderful pictures/articles on the very oldest houses here. The articles have information about the families that lived there as well as diagrams of the floor plan. It may be available through Interlibrary Loan. Judy

Hi Jan: I believe this FREDERICK STUMP, founder of STUMPSVILLE, is my FREDERICK b: 1723 married abt 1757 ANNA SNAVELY b: 1725, who was arrested for the killing of several native americans in PA, and helped settle Nashville, Davidson Co. TN. Thanks for printing it. Allice Reynolds

Subj: Re: Lebanon book by Frantz - Lookups Date: 8/4/99 5:22:47 PM Central Daylight Time From: jalfred@earthlink.net (Fred Davidson) To: KTompk7744@aol.com This citation came on the York County PA line. Somebody found an old book with brief bios of some locals. One of them was a Frederick Stump. This is the entire entry from the book about Frederick Stump, and there were no more Stumps on the index. Here is what he says about Frederick Stump: "Frederick Stump: Founder of Stumpstown, later called Fredericksburg."... In 1761 he bought 193 acres, and in May he started to sell lots. In 1843 the name was changed to Fredricksburg. While this town was not on the canal system, canal boats were built here to such a degree that it was called "the Navy Yard." In 1827 occurred the great fire in which much of the town was destroyed. This fire was caused by shooting a bird on the roof of a barn. The wad from the shot ignited the roof and in a short time the barn was a mass of flames." Of course, I'm not sure who this Frederick Stump is and whether he might have aught to do with my Stumps, but perhaps someone else recognizes him..... Jan T

Does anyone have information about Russell G. Stump b. Jan 21, 1926 married Neva Townsend Oct. 13, 1945 at Adel, Iowa. He lived in Colorado in 1965 possibly until his death in 1995.

Hi everyone, Does anyone know anything about the family of Stumps mentioned in this article? LeRena Original Muhlenberg Settlers - 1785 Posted by Marilyn Vaught Young <mvyoung@shawneelink.com> on Sat, 27 Feb 1999 Surname: Vaught, Rhoads, Hunsaker, Zimmerman, Bell, Boone, Stump, Smith Original Muhlenberg Settlers The Kentucky Migration 1785 Copied from the TIMES-ARGUS, weekly newspaper, published at Central City, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. Contributed by The Vaught Association Editors Note: The following article is part of Chapter XI of "Two Centuries of Brothers Valley" by the Rev. H, Austin Cooper. It concerns the migration of Muhlenberg County, from Pennsylvania of members of the Church of the Brethren, commonly called Dunkers. The migration was headed by Captain Henry Roth, Jr., who changed his name to Rhoads. He became Muhlenberg County's first representative in the Kentucky General Assembly and named this County for General John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg, his commanding general in the Revolutinary War. The terrible winter of 1784-85 all but depleted the hopes of the frontiersmen who had faith in the coming crops of the spring and summer. The snows began early in October and continued almost without letup until after Easter. This is not uncommon to the area as the storms both in summer and winter comes quickly and violently and often last for long periods without deminishing in force and fury. The altitude and the formation of the mountains to the west and east cause the storms to funnel into this area. The Brothers Valley area is like an inverted saucer or dish lifted up above the surrounding countryside. Thus the storms beat heavily upon the land and the temperature drops quickly and holds on for many weeks, sometimes without varying much either way. On Easter Sunday when the sun shined warmly, the snow measured eighty-five inches on the level. This was one of the contributing factors for so many people leaving the area. However, this was only one. Perhaps the other factors that induced the settlers to seek more pleasant settlement in the southern wilderness were the stories of some of their relatives such as Captain Henry Roth, Jr. and Phillip Aswald who had traveled extensively in the Kentucky county. They came back with glowing tales about the rich and fertile grasslands of the "blue grass region". At that early time most of the land was unsettled and there seemed to be room for all to settle in a more temperate climate. No doubt, the determining factor for their departure from Brfuedersthal in the summer of 1785 was the dual fact that the State of Virginia offered free land to her soldiers who fought in the Revolution. Many of the young men who had joined the Brother's Valley Militia and followed General George Washington throughout his campaign against the British, received large land grants in what was then called "Western Virginia", which was the Kentucky county. Captain Henry Roth, Jr. led more than one hundred to Kentucky from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and what is now West Virginia. Several from New Jersey joined the band at New Market, Virginia in the early part of the summer of 1785 and proceeded to the new "promised land". For the most part the people in the party were listed as heads of families. To be sure, there were many children in the group. It seems that they went by way of Winchester, Virginia and there met a group from Maryland, especially from Washington and Frederick Counties. It is known that at least a dozen from the Pine Creek County, in what is now Carroll County, met them at Winchester and accompanied them to New Market, Virginia. Here they rested for several weeks before going on to the Roanoke Settlement where many others met the band and proceeded on their way. The other reason for so many going along with the small band of leaders who received the "military grants" were those who were termed later in Kentucky as "squatters" on the land. They were the workers and the tillers of the soil for these large landholders. Many of them later bought tracts for their homes and settled permanently in Kentucky. About 1800 there was another movement from Kentucky across the Ohio River into Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and into the Black Hawk county of Iowa. Now for the heads of families in Captain Henry's band: 1. Captain Henry Roth, Jr. and wife, Elizabeth Stoner, of Pine Creek, Maryland, daughter of Elder John Stoner. 2.

It seems evident that this company must have numbered well over 100. The reader can see that for the most part only family heads are listed. This list has come about through research across 12 years and we have listed names from many sources where it has gleaned that these people came along with Capt. Henry Roth to Kentucky. However, it must be said that the first 48 names were given by Mrs. W.H. Newmayer of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania on Aug. 23, 1952, the 190th. anniversary of the founding of the congregation.

Hi, I don't know how many people are aware of it, but the name Mary is interchangeable with the name Polly. Or, so I am told. But, if you have a Mary or Polly in the family that you are working on, try interchanging the names while searching. I found a g-g-g-uncle's birth record this way. LeRena

I have hit a brickwall. The only way that I can continue anymore research is if I go to Ohio. Unless someone can help me. Back in about 1942-1946 or sometime in that time era. Two families that were either friends or neighbors or something.......somehow they knew each other. They switched spouses. The parties involved were: Lawrence Wallace Stump b. 1/8/1902 his wife Florance Victoria Baar Stump b. 3/4/1909 d. 12/31/93, Frederick Raymond Bartolet b.1907 d. 1961 and his wife.......I don't know who his original wife was. My father, Edward Wallace Bartolet, was an original Stump. When his mother and Frederick got married, Frederick adopted all of the younger children. My dad was only 4 yrs old at the time. The above became a scandal at the time and made the paper.......The Beacon or something like that. The city that they lived in was Toledo, Ohio or the surrounding area. I have gone to my library to see if they could get any information from Ohio. They have informed me that libraries do not like to loan out their genealogy records. I have checked the LDS, Searchfamily, Ancestry, FTM, and others. I have not been able to find anything. I would ask the children who were involved, but they were too young, and their parents would not talk about. In fact my aunts and uncles who do know a little, say that I am stirring up a hornets nest. And the more I am told to leave it alone, the more I want to know the information. Plus, I would like to know who everyone is in my family of course. Can someone please help this lost soul???? You can email me personally at nativeind@aol.com Thank You Venus

Hi, I have just learned that my g-g-g-grandfather may have been in the military between 1784 and 1811. Does anyone know of a military web site that relates to this time frame? It is my hope that he was stationed in, or near Kentucky. I would also like to know of forts in the area of Bourbon County, Kentucky, or near by. Thank You LeRena Stump LERSTUMP@prodigy.net

A FEW DAYS AGO, I SENT OUT TWO MILITARY STUMP NAMES FROM A DISK FOR THAT PERIOD.. I THINK THE NAMES WERE LEONARD & GEORGE.. ?? DOES ANYONE HAVE THAT INFO? I'M NOT NEAR MY SOURCE AT THIS TIME. THANKS! ELLIE

Judy: I have ANNA STUMPb: October 22, 1763 PA married JONATHAN GAIS as a daughter of FREDERICK STUMP & ANNA SNAVELY. Is this one yours? Also, not only is the Inn of FREDERICK STUMP still standing but the log cabin home he lived in on the other side of WHITE'S creek is still there, or was in the early 90s when my husband and I visited there. I took pictures. The log cabin home sits along side the driveway to a modern home down a gravel multi dwelling driveway behind the expressway a few blocks from the Inn. On the south side of the modern home (the log cabin sits on the north side) is the STUMP family cemetery which is overgrown with no markers visible. I also received tons of documentation and pictures of both the Inn and the log cabin from the library in Nashville in the early 80s with stories on each one. The library folks were absolutely wonderful. Further when DRAPER(LEEPER-DRAPER PAPERS) toured the south interviewing older settlers, he interviewed FREDERICK's surviving sons and got first hand info on them. I list this as my source for ANNA STUMP m: JONATHAN GAIS info. The library also sent a copy of the CUMBERLAND COMPACT that both FREDERICK & son JACOB STUMP signed. Other sources are ANNUAL OF TENNESSEE, page 447 & 598, and NASHVILLE IN PICTURES, page 5. If anyone is interested I can make copies and mail whatever I have. Allice Reynolds

For those of you who descend or can connect with Frederick Stump (1724-1822), you might be interested to know that Frederick Stump's log home is still here. Several years ago while taking what I thought was a short cut between schools, I got hopelessly lost and was startled to come across an historical marker that had the following legend: "Frederick Stump, an early settler in the Fort Nashborough area [near what is now downtown Nashville], came from Pennsylvania by way of Georgia. He was a Revolutionary War soldier and noted Indian fighter. He owned a large plantation along White's Creek where he operated a mill and inn and rented land to other settlers. This log house is reputed to have been his home where he operated the inn." I subsequently heard that this house/inn was the oldest dwelling still standing in Nashville. The log house is quite nice and has been beautifully restored and is currently someone's home. I believe that his son's home was across the street from the site of the State Capitol. Since my "lost" Anna Stump (b. abt 1811 probably in Berks Co. or Lebanon Co., PA) was from the same area in PA, I'd love, as a Nashville transplant, to find some day a connection between her and Frederick. But for now, I'd just be happy to find out who her parents were!! Judy in Nashville

Those interested in Stump families in Vermilion Co., IL might be interested in this tidbit from Iroquois Co., IL (borders Vermilion Co. on the north). Beckwith's history of Iroquois Co. (1893?) mentions a Thomas Stump of Ashkum Twp. He was b. in Ohio and was there (OH) until 1855. Judy
