  • Notes 
    • Thomas was the original immigrant to come to America in this line in 1667 from England. He gained passage from William Stanley who received 250 acres headrights for transporting him. Thomas Plummer received 100 acres of land "Bridge Hill" from his brother-in-law, Thomas Stockett on May 20, 1676. On July 28, 1686, his wife's uncle, Dr. Francis Stockett, purchased 64 acres, part of "Deden," adjacent to "Bridge Hill". By Dec. 15, 1686, he owned a tract called "Level Addition" surveyed by his step-father, George Yate. It was on the west side of the Susquehanna River. He purchased two other tracks that were part of Prince George's Co. when is was separated from Calvert in 1696: "Seaman's Delight" and "Scotts Lot". He wrote his will in 1694 in which he calls himself a religious man. His religious affiliations have not been found. His will lists wife Elizabeth, children: Thomas, Margaret, Mary, Susannah, and Elizabeth. Witnesses were Capt. Henry, Elizabeth and Jos. Hanslap and Edw. Brucebank. It is signed Eliz. Plummer, ex. of the last will & testament of Thomas Plummer, late of Anne Arundel Co., deceased. To quote a more exact translation from Vivian Markley, it was as follows: Plummer, Thomas,A. A.
