Notes
Edouad Bompasse, (Edward Bumpas), as he was called in the Plymouth
Colony, was the first of his name, and the only of his name, as far as
can be found to arrive in this country. The name has taken on various
spellings as follows: Bump, Bumpas, Bumpass, Bumpers, Bumps, and Bumpus.
Edward came as a young man on the ship "Fortune" the first ship after the
"Mayflower I". The ship "Fortune" arrived at Plymouth, now Massachusetts,
on November 10, 1621. The name Bompasse is of French origin, possibly
Hugenot. The old Norman and French name Bonpas, literally translated
"Goodstep" is an aristocratic name is Europe. The Bonpas family
originated in Perpignam in the extreme southwestern portion of France
near the Mediterranean. The name probably came to England with the
Normans, and perhaps again with the Hugenots.
Edward Bumpas was probably a member of the Protestants who fled from
Holland to Amsterdam. He was reportedly with the Pilgrims in Leyden,
Holland and probably went to England with those who returned after the
first attempt to sail for America failed. Willison states in his book
"Saints and Strangers" that Edward was a Saint and native Leydener.
Leyden was located six to seven miles up the Rhine River and was
considered the spiritual capital of protestant Europe.
In 1623 he received one share in the land allotment as one of those who
came in the Fortune and in 1627 a share in the cattle. He sold his acre
of land on the north side of town in 1628 and was granted 20 acres of
land on Duxbury Bay where he settled and built a house and palisado. In
March of 1634/35 he sold this property and was allowed to "take up land
in another place". In March of 1644/45 when the boundries of Marshfield,
MA were laid, his property was included. He is included in the 1643 list
of men of Marshfield able to bear arms. Sometime before September 1645 he
sold his property to Solomon Lenner. Edward was one of the original
proprietors of Middleboro, where his son Joseph settled.
