Am pleased to see a lot of great work on the Stump list! Thought I might add mine - perhaps it will help someone and shed further light on my ancestors. Johannes Stumpff was born on 22 February 1735 in Geseke, Germany. He died September 28, 1827 in Walkill, NY. He came to the US about 1771 and settled near Montgomery, NY. (Orange County) He married Maria Magdalena Hohl (Howell) and they had 12 children. 1. John Stump/Stamp born October 10, 1777 and I would love to know more about him. He is my direct line. 2.
