My records on the ancestry of Christopher Stump come from the LDS Church: His grandfather was Christoph Stumpf, b abt 1640 in Germany, m. H. Johannes Raubling. Only known child was John George Stump, b abt 1670 , Germany, married Elizabeth Raubling on Nov 13, 1699 at "6100 Paranstadt". This is apparently the address of a church in Germany. What city? John George Stump's children were Christopher Stump, Johannes Stump and Michael Stump. An emigration record I saw showed Christopher emigrated to Schaefferstown, PA in 1741. Christopher's children by first wife Margaretha were: Hans Frederick Stump, George Adam, Christopher, Henry, Catherine, Maria, Susanna, Margaret and Magdalene. By his second wife, Anna Margaretha he had Catherine, Juliana, MArgaret, Christopher, Leonhart and Michael. Doris: Can you give me the info of his other two children and his third wife? RMTerry@Prodigy.Net has a lineage of a Hans Stumpf(f) b abt 1600 in Hessen Germany, with son Diterich Stumpff and grandson Hans Peter Stumpff, b abt 1665. I wonder if there is a connection between these families. Gordon W. Pace siriuspace@aol.com
