1850 Census Records for Knox Co, IL

Peter Stump, 30 years old, born in Ohio, farmer
Samantha, 21, born in Ohio
John, 4, born in OH
Daniel, 2, born in OH
Levi, 21 years old, born in OH, farmer
Joel, 23 years old, born in OH, farmer
Elizabeth, 18 years old, born OH

It would appear that the mother of Joel had died and the father remained in Hocking Co, Ohio with his daughter Mary and granddaughter Anna but that Peter and Joel and Levi and Elizabeth decided to move to IL and were living there together in 1850. They must have moved to Macoupin/Montgomery Co within the next few years since Joel married Sussanah Perrine there in 1855 and Peter remarried to Nancy Maze in 1859.

Notes:

1900 St. Clair County, Lebanon, IL census records:

Charles McCan, 40 years old, born in IL, parents born in Germany
Anna, wife, 40 years old, born in IL, parents born in Germany
Charles, son, 1 year old, born in IL
Stumph, Minnie, step daughter, 17 years old, born in IL
Stumph, John, step son, 11, born in IL

It appears that Joel Stump died between 1890 and 1898 as Anna, his wife and the mother of James Grant Stump, had remarried to Charles McCan. James Grant Stump had moved to Iron Co, IL and can be found there on the 1900 census records. Both daughters (Daisy and Lula) had married in 1899 and moved out. Newton Stump had moved in with his biological mother (Susan) who had also remarried and was living in Montgomery Co, IL with her new husband, John Maurer. Susan was listed as 68 years old, born in NJ, and arnets born in NJ.

It is not clear if Susan had divorced Joel or Joel had divorced Susan to marry Anna.

Purchased 80 acres in Wayne Co (border of Iron Co) on 4/29/1893. Was listed on 1880 census records for Iron Co and also on 1900 census records, so could not have been on the land in Wayne Co for too long.

It is not clear when William died, he was alive on the 1900 census records but not there in 1910. His widow and children moved to IL sometime shortly after the 1910 census records were taken.

William married LONDON Martha A in ABT. 1874 in Probably Iron Co, MO. Martha (daughter of LONDON James Alexander and BERRY Rutha) was born in Apr 1858 in Madison Co, MO; died on 21 Apr 1916 in Madison Co, IL; was buried on 24 Apr 1916 in St. Patrick's Cemetery, Alton, Madison Co, IL. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Martha was born in April, 1858, the same month her mother died. Martha was the first and only child of James London and Rutha Berry, Rutha's father had died 4 months before his daughter. Martha can be found on the 1860 census records living with her father in Madison Co, MO, Liberty Township, Fredericktown, MO. They are family number 376, James London, 23 years old, born in NC, farmer, Martha A. London, 2 years old, born MO.

Martha can be found in the 1870 census records in Liberty Township, Madison County, MO, livng alone. Her father had remarried and started a new family and Martha was not included in that family. She is listed as 12 years old, born in MO and living with the Lwellen family who were farmers from KY. Not only is Martha without a family, she is not attending school and cannot yet read and write.

The next census record, 1876, Martha is found livng with her husband and children. Since the first child was born in 1875, the marriage most likely took place in 1874 when Martha was 16 and her husband was 18.

Martha had apparently moved with her two children, Mary Estelle and Jessie, to Wood River, IL sometime after 1910 from Iron Co, MO. She and Katarina Sonnenberg (future mother in law of Mary Estelle (Stella) who would marry John Sonnenberg in 1912, bought a family buriel plot in Alton, IL (Madison Co) sometime before her death there in 1916. She and Katarina and Jessie Hawk, as well as George Sonnenberg and his wife Annie, are all buried there. Her son, Jessie Hawk, witnessed the death certificate. Cause of death was heart failure, with general dibility a contributing factor. Attending physician was H.B. Giths from Woodriver, IL.

1910 Census Records, Iron Co, MO, Arcadia Twp (Pilot Knob)

Martha Hawk, 48 years old, born MO, widowed, 9 children, 5 alive, rents a home, cannot read or write
Jessie, son 19, laborer in factory, can read and write
Stella, daughter, 16, in school, can read and write
Bessie, 6

There is some confusion on number of children reported born by Martha. On 1900 census records she reported 9 children born and 7 living, in 1910 she reported 9 children with 5 alive, but at least one child (Bessie) was born after 1900 making total born 10 or more.

Adair Sonnenberg, daughter in law of Stella Hawk Sonnenberg, reported that she had been told that the father of Stella (William Hawk) had been shot in the back by an irate husband for some inappropriate behavior with the husband's spouse.
