(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), Junior b: circa 1730 in Hesse, Germany d: June 1799 h/o m: 1765 Sarah Hughes b: June 15, 1821 d/o Thomas & Mary (Baker) Hughes, Senior. CHILDREN: no dates 01. Michael 3rd. h/o Magdalena Richards 02. Catherine w/o George Whitecotton 03. Leonard h/o Mary Morrow 04. Jesse h/o Susan (surname unknown) 05. Sarah w/o Jacob Simons The above Michael Junior is the 1744 Hans Michael Stumpf der Jung indentured to the woodworking trade in the town of Eberbach of Hesse in the Germanies. As noted the year of his birth has been approximated as 1730 based upon the age for apprenticing there at the time. No marriage record has been found to date. The year of marriage, 1765, has apparently been derived from the Oldest child's, Michael 3rd., known birth date in the year 1766. the third Michael's birth date was undoubtedly taken from a long - lost and missing family Bible which many of the present - day descendants have been unable to locate, unfortunately. The birth date was known and inscribed on the gravesite marker previously shown to commemorate the 1912 ceremonies. the month and year of death is derived, as noted previously, from the date of the inventory of his, Michael Stump (f), Junior, estate since he died intestate.
