Classification: Query
Surnames: BUMPUS, PAGE
I have been tracing the following 2 BUMPUS men who married Lucinda and Louisa PAGE, both Daughters of William PAGE and Lavisa/Lovisa ENSLEY/HENSLEY(?) -
BUMPUS, NATHAN PAYE (PAGE), Lucinda 04/02/1868 003/ 00000058 JEFFERSON
BUMPUS, ROBERT M PAGE, LOUISA E 06/18/1863 002/0018 00000000 JEFFERSON
The above Nathan appears to have been a son of Nathan BUMPUS (Sr.), b. bet 1813 and 1818 in Virginia. This is based on finding the younger Nathan in the Census enumeration of this family in 1850 (see below). Nathan (Sr.)
There are on-line files at Ancestry and RootsWeb (some are one-and-the-same) some of which show that the elder Nathan, born abt 1813 (+/-, the Census entries have him born between 1812 and 1818), who came to Illinois before 1860, was a son of George BUMP/BUMPASS. This George BUMP/BUMPASS is listed as having sons William, Nathan, and Evans George. In a search of the 1810 Census, I do not find a George BUMP in Virginia, but I do find a George BUMPASS, two Nathan BUMPASSes, a Samuel BUMPASS, and a William BUMPASS.
Robert Marion BUMPUS was a son of William S BUMPUS, b. abt 1809 in Virginia.
I suspect that William Sr, and the elder Nathan were brothers, or at least cousins, but have no actual basis further than the continued association of their descendants over time.
Now, if George BUMP/BUMPASS, who is listed as the father of the elder Nathan, is the same individual as George BUMPASS of the 1810 Census of Virginia, AND if the George BUMP/BUMPASS was actually Evans George BUMPASS (the BUMPASS families seem to follow the naming of a son for the father in several generations, and this George BUMP/BUMPASS had a son named Evans George BUMPASS), THEN it is just possible that the William BUMPUS listed as a son of George was the same person as the William S BUMPUS who came to Jefferson Co., Illinois before 1860 (as a bio. published in a history of Jeff. Co. lists the father of this William S BUMPUS as Evan BUMPUS). This would make Nathan BUMPUS (Jr.) and Robert M BUMPUS 1st cousins.

If anyone can help with any of this, please offer corrections, additions, or thoughts. If you want the family groups, or the transcriptions of the Census enumerations brom 1850 thru 1930, please ask.
