Sometime before the birth of their first child in 1671, John married Sarah, whose birth surname is unknown.[2][3][4] They lived in Scituate and the first six of their nine children were born there.[5] In 1676 the town was raided by Narragansetts and the Bumpas home was burned.[6]
Before the birth of daughter Sarah in 1685,[7] John moved the family to Rochester and they were among the first settlers.[8] John and Sarah remained there, and he died shortly before 17 Jan 1715/6, when his estate was inventoried.[9]
