(Remember This Is Taken From The Book Below), Names And Stuff Can Look A Little Different To Us >From Here Back Up Through The Generations. Will Add It To The List As I Get Parts Of It Done. Michael Stump Sr. of Virginia 1709-1768 by: Thurman Stump 1975 - ----------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Stump (f), Senior b: March 17, 1709 in Eberbach, Hessen - Darmstadt Germanies d: 1768 h/o Catherine/Katherine (surname unknown) b: no record d:1794 CHILDREN: 01. Michael Stump, Junior h/o Sarah Hughes 02. Catherine w/o Jacob Brake 03. George h/o Elizabeth Wilson 04. Leonard h/o Catherine See 05. Mary Magdaline w/o "Jacob Yoakham" As noted above the Michael Senior was born in Eberbach am Neckar in the principality of Hessen - Darmstadt of the Germanies. A record of the birth has been given previously. The marriage record and records of the childrens births have not been found to date. The likelihood of ever finding them seems to be a remote thing at best. An unsuccessful search for them was concluded recently. this is the family that emigrated from Hesse to the colonies in 1743. Presumably all of the children were born overseas before emigrating or at least the majority of them were due to the derived birth year of Michael Junior, circa 1730.
