MUMPOWER/MOMBOUR/MUMBAUER/MUMPOUR

I AM LOOKING FOR THE CONNECTION OF PETER MUMPOWER WHO WAS ON THE SHIP SAMUEL THAT ARRIVED IN PHILADELPHIA, AUGUST 27, 1739. MANY OF THE SHIP'S PASSINGERS WERE SOLD ON THE OPEN MARKET FOR INDENTURED SERVANTS WITH A CONTRACT FOR SEVEN YEARS TO PAY OFF THEIR PASSAGE. THEY WERE CALLED REDEMPTIONERS. THE RICH PEOPLE DID NOT BELEIVE IN SLAVES BUT DID TAKE ADVANTAGED OF OUR GERMAN IMMIGRANTS.

THE ONLY DATA I HAVE BEFORE 1780-81, HE WAS IN THE LINCOLN COUNTY MILITA UNDER CAPT. NATHANIEL HART, WHO WAS PART GEORGE ROGERS CLARK'S MEN WHO BUILT FT NELSON IN 1780-81 THAT ESTABLISHED THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY.

PETER MUMPOWER ENDS UP IN WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA AFTER RECEIVING A LAND GRANT FROM VIGINIA GOVERNOR PATRICK HENRY FOR 100 ACRES ON BEAVER CREEK IN WHAT IS NOW KNOWN AS BRISTOL, VIRGINIA WHERE HE RAISED HIS FAMILY. MOST OF THE MUMPOWERS TODAY IN AMERICA AS TRACE THIS FAMILY.
