I am looking for an IL Stump. I noticed Vermillion Co IL in some of the recent postings. Douglas Co is not so far from Vermillion, perhaps the family spread out? My niece has been trying to get information from her grandmother but it is too late. She either doesn't want to tell her or her memory is gone. I suspect both. So this request is for information that is not too far back in time. Does anyone have a Vergil/Virgil Stump who would have married in Douglas Co IL around 1901 - 1905. His wife's name could be Ida Mae Smith. The only census that I can find is 1900 Douglas Co, Bowdre Twp. A Virgil Stump is 17 years old and living with his parents. Joseph Stump, born Feb 1851 in KY Sarah M. Stump, born Mar 1853 in PA a brother Harve P. Stump age 22. Joseph Stump lists his father born KY and mother born VA Joseph and Sarah had 4 children, 3 living. I don't know if this is the correct family but it is all I have found in the area. Can anyone shed any light on this family? I am hoping that someone with IL Stumps might know. Can't find the roots if I can't find the Stump.
