From "Families of Early Milford, CT" by Susan Abbott (Balt: Gen.Pub., 1979) "He was called a ship carpenter in deed." from tombstone, Died 19 May 1728 ae 68.

There were other Plumbs in Milford. From the baptismal records of some of the children, it appears that wife Mehitabel was a member of the First Church of Milford, but Samuel was not.

"The Genealogical and Family History of the State of CT" by William Cutter et al (NYC:Lewis, 1911) says Samuel married Mehitable Hinde. I HAVE FOUND NO GOOD EVIDENCE OF THIS.
