Read More	The Jamison Family Bible records the birth of Elizabeth Rumph as follows: "Elizabeth Rumph, daughter of Gen Jacob and Ann [Harrisperger]Rumph and the wife of Dr. Van de Vastine Jamison , was born August 25th, 1783." At the time of her birth, her father, Jacob Rumph had completed his activities as captain of the local militia in Orange Parish, South Carolna that opposed the British in the American Revolution. Rumph became a prosperous planter, owning land near St. Matthew's, South Carolina and was a member of the South Carolina General Assembly. Described as a large, imperious man, he became a General of the local militia later in life. The Rumphs, who were Swiss Germans, became early converts to Methodism. They entertained Bishop Asbury in their home during Asbury's circuits through South Carolina and provided two of their sons to the Methodist ministry. In 1798, Elizabeth married Dr. Van de Vastine Jamison, a local physician. Shortly after their marriage, the couple settled at White Hill, a plantation of considerable extent, about six miles eastward of Orangeburg,South Carolina on the road leading to Belleville, South Carolina. Their son, David Flavel Jamison, wrote a Memoir of Dr. Vastine Jamison years after Dr. Jamison's death. In this memoir, he said that his father "was fortunate in his marriage." The following is their son's tribute to his mother: [At the time of her marriage, Elizabeth] "was then only fifteen. She was a woman of remarkable personal attractions, and she brought to the discharge of her various duties of wife, mother, friend and mistress, an unperturbable sweetness of temper, frugality, diligence, and the most exemplary piety. Before her marriage, she became a member of the Methodist Church, and she continued in it till her death. The predominant characteristic of her moral nature was her piety. It appeared to influence every act and thought of her life. It was sometimes carried even to excess. Although it was never exhibited in any outward manifestation of religious fervour, [sic] as is frequently seen among the members of that communion, yet it sometimes arose even to ecstacy,[sic] and sometimes it prostrated her into the deepest self abasement. Though subject to such exaltations [sic] and depressions of spirit----and which the slightest incident would sometimes bring on,--- in general, her disposition was cheerful, hopeful and happy and she diffused, throughout the small circle of which she was the centre, the delightful influence of her gentle nature, which is still felt, after the lapse of nearly forty years." Elizabeth gave birth to seven children in her short life. In 1814, she died of complications of child birth, bringing her youngest child Elizabeth Margaret Jamison into the world. Her tombstone records that she died on February 14, 1814, the day her child was born. The Jamison Family Bible, however, records her death as follows: "Elizabeth Jamison , wife of Doct. V.D.V. Jamison, died February 26th, 1814. aged 30 years, six months and one day." They laid her to rest in the family grave yard at White Hill Plantation with her sons who had proceeded her in death.
