Notes for CHARLES PLUMLY:
A chart received from the Genealogical Library, Salt Lake, City, Utah, gives
Charles Plumly, Parish of Priddy, County of Somerset, as having married 12
month 11 day 1665 Margery Page of Somersetshire, Butcomb, County, and James
Plumly, George Plumly and John Plumly as brothers of Charles.
This supports the twentieth century tradition prevalent in the
Greenville, County, S.C. Plumblee family that indeed these were the four
brothers who came over together.
On October, 31 1682 Charles and ( Margery Page ) Plumly purchased of
Samuel Allen, also a resident of Somersetshire, one hundred acres of land
which had been surveyed to said Allen, on Neshaminy Creek in Bristol township,
Bucks, County, Pennsylvania and 100 acres which had not yet been surveyed or
located. Soon after this date, Charles and Margery( Page) Plumly came to
Pennsylvania and presumably located on their Bucks, County plantation, where
Charles Plumly died in 1683, August 13, 1684 Margery (Page) Plumly married
Henry Paxton from Bycot House, County of Oxford, who had come to Pennsylvania
in the ship Samuel in 1682, and settled in Bucks, County where he became a
large landholder and prominent on county and provincial affairs. Two hundred
and fifty acres of land on the Neshaminy Creek were Patented to the widow
Plumly after her husband death, in a right of purchase by him of which we have
no record. Part of this land was later owned by her eldest son William
Plumly. She had no children by Henry Paxton, and the latter having no
surviving children left some of his large estate to his second wife's
children.
To this writer it appears that the Jordon reference just cited indicates
that soon after the purchase of the 100 acres of land from Samuel Allen on
October, 31,1682 occurred before leaving England, and that soon thereafter the
Plumly family came to Pennsylvania and located on the Bucks, Co. Plantation.
No error is found in the purchase nor in date of deed.
The formerly mentioned deed from Allen to Charles E. Plumly reads in
part: To all people whom these presents shall come, Samuel Allen late of
Chue, Mayne in ye County of Somerset within ye kingdom of England, and now of
Neshaminy Creek in ye province of Pennsylvania in America sendeth greeting.
Know ye that ye said Samuel Allen ye six pounds of current English money to
him in hand paid of Charles Plumly now of Neshaminy Creek, Planter, at or
before sealing ...100 acres of land to be taken up and surveyed-fourth of that
land of Samuel Allen... adjoining land of James Boyden... at or near
creek...all and every ye ways, and water easements privileges woods, and
underwood advantage, and appurtenances to ye said 100 acres of land... heir,
and assigns.... Paying ye yearly sum of one shilling of current English money
unto William Penn, Esq, sole proprietary of ye said Province of Pennsylvania
his heirs or assigns or his or their agents, Commissioners or servants.
30th day of October Anno Domini 1682
Samuel Allen (seal)
Witness Joseph Stone, Benjamin Weeks, Tho Revell
Recorded 3rd day of October Anno Domini 1707
The deed clearly shows that both Samuel Allen, and Charles Plumly were in
fact in Pennsylvania when the land was bought. Note that it was nearly twenty
five years before the deed was recorded, and probably about twenty four after
the death of Charles Plumly. Appurtenances indicates a possibility that some
kind of cabin for human habitation might have been on the land at the time of
sale.
Of the three brothers of Charles, Just mentioned James, George,
and John, and Thomas, son of George, Information is skimpy. The Genealogical
Society of Utah Chart previously mentioned makes these statements.
1. James Plumly suffered persecution for his religious faith in 1672;
1680-,and 2- Purchased land in Pennsylvania which he sold in 1704- probably
married in England.
2. George Plumly of Hammer Friends meeting suffered persecution in 1670.
3.John Plumly of Hammer Friends meeting suffered persecution
1670-1680-1681.
The children of Charles and Margery (Page) Plumly are considered here in
order of their ages. One child, James died in infancy, but the next one born
was also given the name James indicating their desire to perpetuate the name.
