Hello Listers, I am new to this list, and this is a query I hope someone can help me with. I am looking for Elias Stump's parents. I believe them to be Michael Stump 111, that married Magdalene Richards. They had a son John, b. 12-06-1795, Hardy Co. (W)VA. My Elias was b. in 1795 too, and in Hardy Co.. He is first listed in the tax records (about 16 yrs. old) in Pendleton Co. in 1812. He is also listed in Lewis Co. tax record in 1819. Could the son of Michael and Magdalene be the same person, and his name was John Elias Stump...named for his Uncle Elias Hughes, brother to his mother Sarah Hughes? I am grateful for any tidbit of information. Thank you, Evelyn
