    1. Re: Anna STUMP
    2. I'm green with envy seeing all of the great Stump lineages that have been posted. I am quite literally "stumped" on my Stump ancestor and have been for YEARS. I hope someone may know something about her family. Anna STUMP was b. abt 1810 or 1811 and m. 1835 Cyrus SELLERS of Wolmesdorf, Berks Co., PA. They were married at Trinity Tulpehocken Reformed Church which is actually just over the county line in Lebanon Co., but many or most of the members were from the adjoining area of western Berks Co. (around Marion Twp., Stouchsburg/Womelsdorf, etc.). There are no baptismal records for her nor many Stump records at all in that church. Anna and Cyrus had several children born in or near Marion Twp., Berks Co. Perhaps these names will give someone a clue: John, Cyrus Jr., William Henry, Anna, Sarah and Mary J. Anna and Cyrus removed to Iroquois Co., IL about 1860. I've not been able to find any appropriate Anna in the Stump wills in Berks Co. From the 1830 census it looks as if the Stump families in Berks Co. who had a daughter of the "right" age for Anna would be the following: Henry Stump--Bethel Twp. Jacob Stump--Bethel Twp. John Stump--Heidelberg Twp. Jonas Stump--Albany Twp. Michael Stump--Upper Tulpehocken Twp. Peter Stump--Reading Samuel Stump--Heidelberg Twp. Samuel Stump--Greenwich Twp. John Stupp--Tulpehocken Twp. David Stump--Heidelberg Twp. Do any of you know anything about the families above? If I can find out the children in those families and know there is no Anna, that will help me narrow what has been a very difficult search. Negative information is sometimes quite helpful! Thanks for any help! Judy
