John Plumb was not married to Sarah Cornwell.

"The rumor that has persevered in genealogical circles for years of an “affair" between John and a young woman of Middletown, Sarah Cornwell, daughter of Sgt. William Cornwell is very likely true (LDS microfilm #0,004,572, pg. 122, 9 Jan 1672). The result of this "folly" appears to be the birth of a son named Benoni Plumb, a man who suddenly appears in the Middletown Records near the end of the seventeenth century, with no hint of parentage. John paid Sgt. William Cornwell 6 pounds by the sentence of the Hartford Colonial Court in what seems to be a clear-cut legal case. Jacobus also refers to this incident.

The eventual relocation to New London may have been partially due to this ill advised tryst with Sarah Cornwell (along with the above mentioned estrangement from his brother Timothy); the specific location of the move can be partly explained by the fact that at least 2 of Elizabeth's siblings lived in New London; her half-brothers, born of Samuel Green and Sarah Clark. Jonas Green and Deacon Timothy Green were active citizens in New London for many years."
