Mr. John W. Stump, whilst returning on one of his vessels from France, in 1814, when the British fleet was in Chesapeake bay, barely escaped capture, and reached the city of Baltimore in time to participate in its defense as aide to Gen. Stricker. On January 13, 1814, he married Sarah, daughter of Col. James Biays, a large shipping merchant of Baltimore, who owned many vessels, and aided materially in building up the commerce of the city. John W. Stump was the father of Hon. Herman Stump, President of the Maryland Senate, member of Congress and Commissioner-General of Immigration. Colonel Biays commanded the cavalry at the battle of North Point, and in the official reports of that battle was highly commended for his efficiency. There now reside in Harford County many descendants of John Stump, of Stafford , among whom are Stumps, Lees, Archers, Constables, Smithsons. Ann, daughter of John Stump, of Stafford, was the mother of Hon. Henry W. Archer. -- History of Harford County, Maryland: From 1608 (the Year of Smith's Expedition) to the Close of the War of 1812, Walter Wilkes Preston, 1901 sd
