I am a descendent of the BUMPAS through Duty Benson who lived in Prairieville Twp, Barry County, MI
There is a book called "Descendants of Isaac Benson and Mary Bumpas" 1973, written by Grace Croft along
with my grandmother, Mildred Ellis Warner Beattie, her sister, Marcia Warner Dunwell, and other
researchers. Although I have seen the book, I do not have my own copy.
