WILLIAM PLUMMER b 14 Dec 1757 (should re-check date?) at Scarboro, Me d
29 Oct 1838, the fourth child & second s/o Aaron Jr &
Elizabeth (Skillings) Plummer, m 2 Mar 1785 at Cape
Elizabeth, Me, Abigail Jordan b 14 Feb 1760 at Cape
Elizabeth, Me. she d 27 Jan 1838. William was a sailor,
fisherman, & farmer. At ae 18y he enlisted in the
Continental Army at Cambridge, 1775, and served for a time
there. In Jan 1776, he was serving at Portland (ME) and was
there disharged, following which he was engaged for some time
in privateering, a natural service for an accomplished
sailor. In later enlistments his records included
participation in the surrender of Burgoyne at Saratoga, the
cruel winter at Valley Forge and the Battle of Monmouth. In
later years, contemplating his war service, WIlliam wrote in
his diary under date 19 Dec 1836: " I was to the taking of
Buroine & his army I went from Saratogue to Valley Forgue. I
went from thence into Monmouth Battle a remarkable hot day
and from thence to RI & wintered in providence I was a
soldier at Cambridge and a soldier in Casco Bay after it was
Burnt by mowet. I went in a schooner Privateer Putnam, Capt
Stephen Mashell of Salem (MA). I was shipwreaked on the coast
of France and a number of other times and I remin yet Blessed
be God for all things - I can't write one hundredth part of
my hardship" After the close of the Revolution Mr Plummer
settled at Cape Elizabeth, engaged in Farming and continued
to follow the sea. On March 2 1784, at Falmouth, he married
Abigail Jordan, who was born at Cape Elizabeth 4 Feb 1760,
the daughter of Thomas & Ann (Simonton) Jordan. She was of
the fourth generation from Rev Robert Jordan. In 1788,
WIlliam & Abigail (Jordan) Plummer, with their first two
children moved onto the Pejepscot Claim (Danville) ME, Here
he built a log cabin which for two years sheltered his
family, and in which the third child Thomas Jordan Plummer
was born. Having constructed a frame house the family moved
into the new home, and the cabin was left as a home of his
brother Edward and family. For many years, Mr Plummer
cleared more and more land for his farming operation and
raised ample crops to provide for the needs of his family,
and to sell in the market. He was also active in the raising
of cattle, sheep and swine. His market was in Portland (ME)
and many entries in his diaries describe his journeys to that
city by oxcart. In 1817 having reached the age of 61y Mr
Plummer sold one half of his farm to his son Thomas J and for
the remainder of his life worked only the smaller area, and
continued to live in the original fram house, his son
building on his half of the farm. William Plummer was a
Jeffersonian Democraft and a public Spirted citizen. He was
one of the signers of a petition to incorporate the town.
Served as field driver 1802, highway surveyor 1803, 1805 &
1807, tythingman 1806-1807, Hog rieve & fence veiwer in 1807,
grandjury list 1809, andselectman 1816-1817. William
apparently having had little formal education, kept for many
years a careful diary. Many of these diaries still are in
existence. There are twenty folios of these records kept with
the precision of a ship's log, at which , in the course of
sea duty, Mr Plummer likely had some experience. They are
carefully sewed together the first recording being dated 20
June 1804 and the late 4 Jul 1837. The compiler of the sea
family records has been extremely fortunate in having had the
opportunity of making a complete transcription of the diaries
and they are a valued record of many historical events in the
story of early Danville (ME)
