Biography
Leonard Stump was a Virginia colonist.
Leonard, youngest son of Michael and Catherine Stump, was born in 1749. A good business man, he accumulated a large estate from bother inheritance (lot #3) and from his brothers Michael and George. Leonard married Elizabeth Catherine See, of a prominent pioneer family. His contributions to the Colonial cause were mostly in material aide as recorded in Virginia State Claims and in Josiah Hughes', PIONEER OF WEST VIRGINIA. At age 21, Leonard was given lot #3. Leonard and Catherine had ten children, but of the three boys only one, Adam, lived to maintain the farms and carry on the Stump name. Leonard Stump's will gave the greater part of his lands on the South Fork to his son Adam.[1]

Stump(f) Run
The Stumpf Run property is a reminder of pre-revolutionary pioneer life in America. The land was cleared and settled by Michael Stumpf in 1744, then deeded to him by Lord Fairfax in 1749. During the following 250 years, this farm and Michael's descendants were historically involved in Indian insurrections, the Lord Dunmore's wars, and the American Revolution.
In the mid-19th century the family owned slaves, and participated in the Civil War. During all these times, the Stump family farmed the river bottom lands, raised livestock on the upland pastures, and cut timber in the mountains. The property left the family hands in 1972. The restored house and the old cemetery are often visited by descendants of Michael Stumpf Spelling of the name changed in the late 18" century and is now recognized as Stump.

Whoever has permission, this Stump's father should be https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Stump-1866. Thank you.

Leonard's state of birth and death needs review. FindAGrave uses modern day names of places and is not a reliable name for the locations of birth and death to be used at WikiTree. The WikiTree Style guideline for locations is to use place names as they would have been known at the time. Since the state of West Virginia was not formed until June 20, 1863, he probably was born and died in Virginia.
A note could be added in the section about Stump(f) Run to explain that the location was in the part of Virginia which became West Virginia.
Please let me know if you have any questions,

This Leonard is the son of Michael, Junior, and wife Sarah (Hughes) Stump. The preceding February 10, 1829, will of his uncle, another Leonard Stump, precludes confusing the two same-named parties. The military captaincy may have been either a militia, War of 1812, or both rank. The determination of its origin is probably best left to the lineal descendants, if any. However, it apparently has been established that Captain Leonard Stump married a Mary Morrow.
I'm working on my father's mother's side (Millar) using _The Millar-du Bois family; it's history and genealogy_, by Eva Miller Nourse, 1928.
"Sarah Louisa Stump, (born September 1, 1829; died March 7, 1886), daughter of Adam and Mary G. (Parsons) Stump; Adam (born August 4, 1788), son of Leonard (born November 21, 1748) and Catharine (See) Stump, (born February 26, 1754; died April 23, 1827). The Stump and Parsons families were early in the South Branch Valley and much intermarried in these records and elsewhere. "
I suspect Stump-9 is the same Leonard Stump referenced by Nourse, as the spouse and birth date almost match (note 1748 in my info vs 1749 here.)
What'cha think?
Thanks! horkan
