Edouad Bompasse,(Edward Bumpas), as he was called in the Plymouth Colony,
was the first of his name, and the only of this 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, as you will
find in this text. Edouad 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 Nov. 10, 1621. The name Bompasse is
probably of French origin, possibly Hugenot. The old Norman and French
name Bonpas, literally translated, Goodstep, is an aristocratic name in
Europe. The Bonpas family originated in Perpignam in the extreme south
western portion of France near the Mediterranean. The name probably came
to England with
Normans, and perhaps again with the Hugenots. Bumpus also exists as a
name derived from Boneboz in Normandy, a Fief held from the Earls of
Mellent. One source of information states that Edouad Bompasse was born
about 1605, of St. Bartholomew Parish, London, England., died 3 Feb.
1693, Marshfield, - Plymouth County, Ma., married 1628 in Ma., Hannah,
born about 1607, England, died, 12 Feb. 1693, Marshfield, Ma. Edouad
Bompasse 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 in his Saints and Strangers, states
that Edouad Bompasse 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, indicating he was unmarried. 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 were laid, his property was included. He is included in the
1643 list of men of Marshfield able to bear arms. Sometime before Sept.
1645 he sold his property to Solomon Lenner. Edouad or Edward as he was
now called, was one of the original proprietors of Middleboro, where
his son Joseph settled. He was also a purchaser of Dartmouth lands.
On the 15 July 1653 Edmond Chandler of Duxbury exchanged his rights in
lands in Satuckquett for Edward Bumpas's lands and rights in Cushenett
and Coaksett. He was on the jury in 1654 and 1655 and in 1657 took the
oath of fidelity as of the Town of Duxbury. After 1656 he seems to have
lost control of his properties and through lack of cooperation in the
family he and his wife Hannah were to some extent dependent upon the
community for their well being. Although he and his sons as "first
borne in the colony" were eligible for grants they did not take advantage
of their positions. In the next generation several branches of the
family prospered and left good estates. It was customary in those days
during the transfer of property from father to son, that the deed call
for the father and or mother to be "maintained for life". Deeds between
Edward and his sons did not contain these provisions. Edward and Hannah
had at least twelve children, eight being recorded at Marshfield. In my
research thirteen have been indicated. There is some question if Faith
was really a first child. Some researchers show that she was and was born
in 1630. Others say that she may have been a twin to Sarah, and that she
died at birth or shortly after. There is much more that has been
written about Edward that I have not included here. Much of it is
