William S. Bumpus Jr.
William S. Bumpus Jr., farmer, P.O. Mount Vernon, was born
May 22, 1837, in Hanover County, Va.
His father, William S. Bumpus, Sr., was a native of Virginia. He was
also a farmer, and had also served an apprenticeship at the
house-carpenter trade, in Old Virginia. He moved to Kentucky in 1838,
and there our subject was reared and schooled. He came to this county
about fourteen years ago, and is yet living.
His father, Evan Bumpus, was a native of Virginia. The mother of our
subject, Charlotte Buckner, was a native of Virginia, and the mother of
six children.
Our subject was joined in matrimony, in Butler County,
Ky., to Miss Elizabeth Sharer, born December 24, 1837, in Butler
County, Ky. She was a daughter of John and Rosa Ann Sharer, both
natives of Kentucky.
This union resulted in seven children, now living, viz.:
- Charles H., born October 27, 1858;
- Eugenia C., born July 31, 1860;
- William, born September 25, 1864;
- Theodore, born December 28, 1869;
- Millard, born November 9, 1871;
- Edgard, born December 26, 1874;
- Alpheus, born October 21, 1877.
Mr. Bumpus is a member of the A., F. & A.M., Mount Vernon Lodge, No. 31;
and I.O.O.F. Williams Lodge, No 242; also a member of the Encampment.
He has a farm of 240 acres, and came to this county in 1856.
He has been Justice of the Peace four years; was re-elected and resigned.
He then was Supervisor, being the first in the township; served three
years; then was Collector three years, and is now Township Supervisor.
In politics, he is identified with no particular party.
From this biography we know that William S. Bumpus Jr.'s father is
William S. Bumpus Sr. his grandfather was Evan Bumpus of Virginia.
William S. Bumpus Jr. was born in 1837 Hanover County, VA.
the family moved to Kentucky in 1838.

From the biography and marriage record we know that Evan and
George Bumpus are the same person.
We believe we now have enough data to provide evidence that
Nathan W. Bumpus Sr. and William S. Bumpus, Sr. were brothers.
We also believe there is another brother Evans George Bumpus
that remained in Virginia, and that their parents are Evans
George Bumpus or George Evans and Patsy Ragland.
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.
