Francis Plumer or Plummer was probably from Berkshire, England, though some authorities say Wales, coming to America in the year 1633 with a company from Newbury, in Berkshire. He took the freeman's oath in Boston May 14, 1634. In 1635, when the company came up Little River to found the town of Quascaquenquen (Newberry), Massachusetts, he was the second to land, Nicholas Noyes being first. He was one of the original trustees of the town, where he acquired an excellent farm, and the meeting house, also used as the school and town house, stood on his land. His farm continued to be owned and cultivated by his descendants for more than two hundred years, his posterity including a number of distinguished men. He was a linen weaver, and besides following his trade kept an inn. [HVC 1919, 696]
