  • Name Robert PLUMB  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5
    • Robert Plumb accompanied his father to Watertown, Massachusetts and to Wethersfield, Connecticut, but upon coming of age he struck out for himself, moving to milford, Connecticut, in 1639, the year in which the town was settled, and joined himself with the fortunes of that new colony.

      He was probably a companion of John Lane, already spoken of, but he was not a member of the church and hence could not be a Free Planter, as Lane was. but his name appears as the first one in a list following, of those who were planters but were not permitted to take part in governing the new colony.
