my only Edward Bompasse reference. The Richardson Memorial Eighth Generation 927 Edward Wilson Richardson Edward Wilson Richardson 8 (John, 7 Edward, 6 Edward, 5 Theophilus, 4 Ezekiel, 3 Theophilus, 2 Ezekiel 1), eldest son of John 7 and Eunice (Goding) Richardson, of Jay, Maine; born there, July 16, 1811; married Betsey S. Bumpus, Feb. 23, 1846. She is, without doubt, a descendant of Edward Bompasse (originally bon pas, a fortunate step, or bonne passe, a good condition), a French Huguenot, who arrived at Plymouth in the ship Fortune, Nov. 10, 1621, and joined the colony there. This ship brought over Robert Cushman and thirty-five others, with supplies, to the great joy of the suffering pilgrims, who arrived a year previous, and were now in great want. Bompasse easily slid into Bumpus. Edward W. Richardson resides in his native town, Jay, Me. Children: 1307. Ella M., 9 b. July 5, 1848; m. May 28, 1867, (---) Wilson, of Orr's Island, Maine. 1308. Flora A., 9 b. March 9, 1850; d. July 22, 1867. 1309. Ada E., 9 b. Oct. 23, 1854; d. June 16, 1873. Karen Riley wrote: > Hi All > > I just joined the list and I am an Aussie living in Idaho.
