"...Daniel A. and Jane Plummer, [Daniel] a native of Connecticut.
[Daniel] was reared upon the farm of his parents, and, on their removal to Ohio, accompanied them thither, locating in Medina when that portion of the State was quite new. [Daniel] was a veteran in the Black Hawk War and located in Kalamazoo County, Mich., in 1830. He there met and married [his wife], who bore the maiden name of Jane Giddings. In 1834 the young couple removed to Saugatuck, where they were the third family to settle at the mouth of the Kalamazoo River. There the father followed ship-carpentering a few years and later came to Allegan and operated the old Exchange Hotel, also the Allegan House.
In 1849, Daniel A. Plummer crossed the plains to California in company with several other gentlemen, they being six months on the road, traveling overland with ox-teams. He engaged in mining at Placerville, Georgetown, and numerous other places in the State. He was very successful, but, growing tired of mining, decided to locate in Oakland, Alameda County, Cal., and there died in 1888."
