Family life
Rumpf (sometimes spelled Rumph) was the son of the diplomat Christiaan Constantijn Rumpf (1633, The Hague – 1706, Stockholm) and Elisabeth Pierrat de Longueville (1646–1675). He obtained a Doctor of Laws degree at Leiden University and left for the Indies early in 1707. En route, on 26 June 1707 in Cape Town,[1] he married Gijsberta Joanna Blesius (born 1686, Cape Town).
