The following is a number of notes Lemuel Stump kept while searching for his Stump line. He has since passed on, but his wife copied them and sent them to me and I thought I would share it. (With her permission.) I think there might be something in them of interest to most of us as the notes seem to touch all the families. LeRena > You said you would dearly love to have what else you have on Lewis E. and > Daniel Stump of Dallas Co. IA. I hope the following will help you!
