The Library of Virginia's digital archive of family Bibles includes images of the birth, death and marriage records recorded in Catherine Stump's son George's Bible (1745-1848, Call #35598, Bible printed in 1802). Though the images do not show Catherine's dates of birth and death, they are accompanied by some undated, type-written notes which declare that George Stump descended from Hans Michael Stumpff (1709-1768) and his wife Maria Catherine (1722-1799 [sic]) of Hampshire County VA, and that Hans Michael and Maria Catharine Stumpff were married in Germany in 1740.
Catherine Stump's Will was dated December 4, 1783, and it was probated in Hardy County VA, now WV, in 1796. It reads:
