1760 Muster roll for Joseph Bumpas

Hello Dorothy,
I would be interested in seeing a scan of the muster roll.
BTW. . . I have proved that it was not the same Joseph Bumpus who married Ruth Reed and Mercy Haskins. Not sure why none of the earlier genealogists ever picked up on it, LAB included, but there are guardianships for both Ruth and Zilpha Bumpus, daughters of Joseph and Ruth (Reed) Bumpus, stating that their father, "Joseph Bumpus, late of Wareham" was desceased by the time of these 1759 guardianships. So the Joseph who married Mercy Haskins (this being my Joseph, father of the Joseph who married Lydia Raymond Wingfield, who was a Rev War soldier and is buried at Agawam cemetery) was not the same man who married Ruth Reed.
Contact me directly if you could send me a copy of the scan.
Thanks,
Paul Bumpus
