"Son of John Plumb and Elizabeth Green, born in Hartford, probably, and as a child of 7 or 8 years, he went to New London with his father, removed to Milford, where he married, lived and died. Miss Caulkins [Frances Manwaring Caulkins, author of HISTORY OF NEW LONDON] says he was the son of John.
His will is dated May 22, 1728, and in it he wills a half a lot of land in New London, and says the other half belongs to the children of Joseph Plumb [his brother] of Milford, deceased. Will proved June 12, 1728. He names all his children except the first Samuel and Hannah...His tombstone inscription says he died May 19, 1728, but is was probably May 29...His age was on the tombstone very indistinct, but I believe it was 58."
