of Herman Stump and owned land in Harford
County in her own right. In a prenuptial contract
dated November 16, 1804, however, she assigned
all of her real and personal property in trust to
her friend, Margaret W. Robertson. LAND AT FIRST

property holdings as 610 acres in fee simple in
Harford County, 104 acres of leasehold land in

County, 1797; his insolvency petition in 1800 in-
cluded only the 610 acres in Harford County,
which he had inherited from his father, plus his
interest in 300 acres, which he had probably in-
herited from his brother Eli; bought 141 acres in

others and deeded them 108 acres in 1809, prob-
ably retaining 33 acres for himself; sold with his

1802, and with his brothers sold 14 acres of his
father's land, 1807, all in Harford County; mort-
gaged his 610 acres in Harford County in 1809,

gage; purchased 260 acres in Harford County in
1810, and mortgaged it the same year; purchased
195 acres in Harford County in 1810, and sold it

acres, probably in Pennsylvania, in 1816; sold a
total of 755 acres between 1816 and 1827, some
of it possibly new acquisitions in Pennsylvania,

brother Bennett's previous agreements; cleared
