To Michael Stump and Magdalene were born: Michael IV, Sarah who married William Boggs, Jacob, Mary Magdalene who married Henry Beall, Absolom, John, George, Elizabeth who married Samuel Stout, Jemina [aka Jennia, Jemima or Jeminah] who married Seymore Norman, Temperance who married John Wolfe Stout, and Jesse. Michael III and Magdalene Stump were buried near their old home on an eminence overlooking the Steer Creek Valley near Stumptown, West Virginia. His descendants placed at his grave a monument made in the shape of a stump with the design of a gun and an ax to represent the pioneer and hunter, on May 30 1912.
Note that various descendants, in applications for membership to the NSDAR and NSSAR, have declared that this Michael Stump died on 27 MAR 1834, and that Magdalene Stump, his wife, died on 11 JUN 1832, contrary to the monuments shown here, which were erected by other descendants. Though there was at one time a family Bible which presumably would settle this matter, it appears to have been destroyed or lost.
