Many genealogists indicate Gdańsk as the place of origin of Wawrzyniec Campher (Scholz 2009), but one document gives the locality of Morrouw (Höge 1946) and another Werenhold (VOC 1719a)

Resolutions of the Council of Policy of Cape of Good Hope, TANAP, Cape Archives
C. 51, pp. 53-65. 21 November 1719
In 1719 the Council of Policy, in a list of unpaid debts, listed Lourens
Campher van Werenhold, stating that he was still living, that he had a farm
in 't Cleijgat, north of Clapmuts, and owed 156 gulden.
Note

Richard Ball noted:

Lourens Campher first appears in 1688 in the Cape District, but by 1691 he was resident in Stellenbosch (Opgaaf and Muster Rolls). A wife is not mentioned until 1695 when he is listed along with Ansela van de Caab and three children. From their opgaaf returns they seem not to have been great farmers, starting with sheep and moving onto vines.<br>
In 1702 they still had the 3 children with them but by 1709 (the next avail-able opgaaf), just one daughter remained living with them and by 1712 she had left home too.<br>
In 1719 the Council of Policy, in a list of unpaid debts, listed Lourens Campher van Werenhold, stating that he was still living, that he had a farm in 't Cleijgat, north of Clapmuts, and owed 156 gulden.
(C. 51, pp. 53-65. 21 November 1719)<br>
I assume that their three children were Lourens [sic], Antonetta and Jacoba Campher, although there is no documentary proof (that I have yet discovered). in 1705 Cornelis Campher appears for himself as a single man in Stellenbosch on the opgaaf returns and on the 5th September 1705 Antonetta married Gerrit van der Swaan in Stellenbosch, and on the 10th November 1711 Jacoba married Joost de Klerk, all three thus tying in well with the statistics of the children above.<br>
Cornelis, Antonetta and Jacoba all appear as baptismal witness for
children of one or more of the others. Given that baptismal witnesses were, where possible, chosen from very near relations, such as grand parents and aunts and uncles, this is a further argument for their being brothers and sisters.<br><br>
