re..... "Elias Stump. Can anyone shed any light on Elias Stump? Was Elias a nickname. Any help appreciated. Thanks Sue Kramer" Sue... my father mentions an Elias Stump twice in his book about the Stumps. The first is on page 60, apparently from the Lancaster County Historical Society Papers.... WILL BOOKS, page 46: Christopher Stump 1778 Book C, vol. 1, p. 578 Elias Stump 1792 Book F, vol. 1, p. 410 The second is on page 63 and I believe is from the Lancaster County, Pennsylvania Tax Lists 1751, 1756, 1757, 1758... 1758 Freeman, Leacock Township Stump, Elias Don't know if this is the Elias you are looking for. Hope the information is helpful. Emma
