Hi...
This is how i am conencted to the Lum family:
Starting with me...
Stephanie Lynn (McPherson) Grohol (Jan 14, 1971) married Joseph B. Grohol
Carroll Walter Mcpherson Jr (July 3, 1943 in Hagerstown, MD) married
Donnie Lee Hodges
Carroll Walter McPherson Sr(May 3, 1917)) married Wanda Lee Alsip
Walter Kellar McPherson (April 1, 1887, Pondsville, MD, died Aug 28,
1984 in Washington Co., MD) married Susan L. Carroll.
Walter's biological father was Edward McPherson and he was not married
to Walter's mother, who Ada (Adith) Jane Lum(m).
Ada or Adith was born August 1868 in MD(as the 1900 census said for MD).
I found information on familysearch.org that says Ada's parents were:
George and Mary Lum. George was 60 in the 1880 census that I found on
Family search.og. and Mary was 51. Edith was 11 in 1880 and she had a
brother named David Lum who was 23. They lived in Cavetown, Washington
Co., MD.
Ada was 18 when her son Walter was born. She went on to marry Victor
Kline(Mar 1863 from the 1900 census) and Walter took the Kline name
until he married in 1913. In the 1900 census it states that they had
been married 10 years, so I am guessing around 1890 or so..because
Walter was 3. She and Victor had two sons together....Marshall Victor
Kline(17 Mar 1891 in Pondville, MD and died 23 Aug 1969 in Washington
Co, MD) and Silas R. who was born March 1900.

So that is my connection to the Lum(m) family...if any one has any
information on Ada or Adith and her parents and her family, please, I
would appreciate any help.
