Have you checked >out Don Norman's files? If not, you might try to find your Elizabeth Starr >there. Yes, I have talked to the Starr line and that is not mine. I now know that my Elizabeth Stump/Wilson was the Daughter of John Stump and Sarah Neff both of Hardy Co. My John Stump was the son of George Stump(I) and Elizabeth Massey Wilson. I personally would use Elizabeth Massey WILSON on this one below. Because I feel Wilson was her maiden name. Also their son John is my John Stump who married Sarah Neff. The Neffs feel that Leonard Stump Sr was married to a Catherine(they haven't found any evidence of her last name yet) and Leonard Stump Jr. was married to Elizabeth SEE.This John Stump here married to Prudence Parsons-- was a son of a Leonard Stump JR. They have been through Hardy Co deeds and wills to determine this. The George Stump, brother of my John, was married to Catherine Neff. This George was an Uncle to my George Stump and Catherine Jane Neff. Also Catherine Neff and Catherine Jane Neff were related--first cousins once removed. Also my George Stump and Catherine Jane Neff were 2nd cousins. Catherine and Sarah's father was Michael and Mary Neff. Catherine Jane Neff's father was a brother of Michael Neffs--Abraham Neff married to Elizabeth SHOOK. Another thing is Abraham's son Isaac' wife was Phebe Stump. Phebe Stump was the daughter of Leonard Stump JR. and Elizabeth SEE. They also have a John Neff, son of Jacob Neff, married to Dorothy Stump(daughter of Leonard Stump JR and Elizabeth SEE). I would have never found my line if I had followed just Don Norman's website. I did contact him with my information and never heard back from him. The Neffs have been way more helpful and I feel really understand the Hardy Co. Neffs, Stumps and Wilsons. They are all interconnected. I also feel I'm connected to the Charles Wilsons of Hardy Co because Catherine Neff and Sarah Neff's two brothers(Abraham and Issac Neff) were married to two of Charles Wilsons daughters. Also Catherine and Sarah's brother (Jacob)was married to a (Amelia or Emilia) Stump.. but haven't found much on them yet-- and don't say go to Don Norman's site-- because I have. I see as more and more of us come in with our lines to attach to the ones already researched..there needs to be a good discussion of what happened before and why they came to that conclusion. There are so many similar names in all my three Neff, Stump and Wilson families that you really have to be careful. It is very confusing. > (ii) George (b.
