I have found a Richard Vosper who owned about 240 acres in Ferris Twp, Montcalm County, Michigan in the 1897 plat map.
Also, a Benjamin, James and Richard Vosper who obtained 20 land patents on Bois Blanc Island north of Cheboygan, Michigan between 1889 and 1902.
I am curious as to whether you have come across the names Bridinger, Delamarter or Gregg at all. I'm not sure if there is a connection, but I am related to Bridingers who owned land in Ferris Twp in 1897, who were in turn related to Delamarters and Greggs in Osceola County around 1884. George Delamarter and Ella Gregg also obtained land patents on Bois Blanc Island in 1890.
I would be happy to share any info that is useful. You can visit my website at www.geocities.com/michstory/index.html or contact me directly.
Thanks,
