The link below is to a webpage (prepared by one of my relatives) that is 
dedicated to Ruth (Stump) Davidson, who was originally from West VA.  Ruth 
moved to Buckingham Co., VA, and she eventually married one of my Davidson 
relatives there.  I would assume that she was somehow related to your Stumps 
in West VA.  Unfortunately, I do not know anything more about her "Stump 
lineage" than what is shown in this link.

There was an area in Augusta/Rockbridge Co., VA that was (is?) known as 
Kerr's Creek.  Perhaps this area was named for your Kerr family who lived in 
Rockbridge at one time.  There was a Davidson/Davison family that lived in 
that area, as well as another Davidson/Davison family that lived in the 
nearby Collier's Creek area.  A branch of what appears to have part of my 
own Davidson family also moved to the Rockbridge area (headed by a William 
Davidson).  At present, there is no proof that these three Davidson/Davison 
families in Rockbridge in the 1700s were related (though two of these 
Davidson/Davison families did intermarry on two known occasions).

The William Davidson mentioned above was married to a Martha Baker (born 
circa-1750).  Martha was from Prince Edward Co., VA and her husband William 
was apparently from Buckingham Co., VA.  They moved to Botetourt Co., VA 
around 1774, and their land there became part of Rockbridge Co., VA in 1778 
(when that county was created from portions of Botetourt and Augusta Co, 
VA).  This Baker family had come to the Amelia/Prince Edward Co., VA area 
from PA.  I have no idea, however, if this Baker family was related to your 
Baker family.

Best regards,

Bill Davidson
