Born by about 1594, based on estimated date of marriage. ("Francis Plumer of Newbury released from training, paying eight shillings per year to the use of the company," 27 September 1659. This implies that Plummer was not yet sixty years old, for at that age he would not have been required to pay anything to be dismissed from training. However, this would make him quite young at marriage, assuming that the age of his elder son is correctly estimated.) A linen weaver who came to Massachusetts Bay in 1633. First settled perhaps in Lynn or Ipswich; moved to Newbury in 1635. Died in Newbury, 17 January 1672/3. Married: (1) By about 1619 Ruth _____, who died at Newbury 17 or 18 August 1647.

(3) by June 1676 Edward Berry of Salem. Francis said of her "that he lived so comfortable with her ... as a man would desire, and that if he had sought all the world over he could not have had a better wife."
