George Stump, son of Michael III and Mary Magdaline Richards Stump, born 1797 was seven years old when his parents emigrated from Hampshire County to Lewis County, (became Gilmer/Calhoun Counties) (West) Virginia. He married Nancy "Sally" Bennett in 1834 which was the first marriage in Sherman District, Calhoun County, (West) Virginia. [1]
They were the parents of:
Katherine b 1834 Living with Elizabeth Johnson 1850 Gilmer County, (W)V,[2] m Isaac Tucker Jun 15 1856 [3]
Lydia b July 8 1834 m Jonathan Smith Feb 27 1851 [4]

An interesting tale about George's wife may be found here. [10][11]
The children were orphaned before 1850 and the effort to find them is cited above--they went with kin. The only ones not found were Lydia but found a marriage record for her and Robert for whom no records-birth, death, marriage, where he lived in 1850-were found.
