While working on some Kimmerling/Kemmerling, etc. deeds for Kimmerling Research: Maps and Deeds and Ludwig Kimmerling (-bef.1819), came across a few items that seem relevant to that claim.

Thank you for this information! It looks good! One of the problems I’ve encountered is that there seems to have been two men named Michael Stump who died in Franklin Co. PA in 1803, one from illness & the other killed by Indians. They have different parents & ancestors, so I’ve tried to be careful.
I have not performed research on these families, but the 2004 post on Genealogy.com (linked above) suggests that Catherine (Eshwy) Stump's son, Michael Jr. (our Michael Stump) married her brother's daughter, Mariah (our Mary Ashway).
Believe there are some worthy tree links there.--Gene
Edited to add: I wasn't able to locate a second gent of the same name who died in 1803, but did find much discussion about one early Michael Stump (abt.1715-1768) who had a wife or wives Catherine.
