cfearly — 2007-06-05 21:29:43Z

Hi Luanne,
In reference to my earlier reply dated 6/4/07 please disregard the information on the spelling of Catherine. I indeed have seen it spelled both ways. In checking the collection of pictures again, it's a Catharine on another side of my family, not a Plott. I really apoloize for any inconvenience.

Yes, it's rather confusing to alot of us to which Henry Plott connects with out line of descendants.

You mentioned that you've confirmed that Henry & Catherine are real & the dates & descendants are correct. Where were you able to find this information?

Thanks for all your researching...

Re: Henry and Catherine Plott

cfearly — 2007-06-05 00:03:16Z

Hi Luanne, Just read your posting, who is your grandfather? Is he Bryan S. Plott? My gr grandfather is John Newton Plott, therefore my grandfather is Clarence H. Plott, brother of Bryan.
I recently started this reseach after I came home with a box of very old Plott pictures that were my grandfathers. Many pictures have little written on the back & if so it's faded. I've been researching out the relationships of these people & have pictures of Simon, Elijah, & John Newton families.

I wasn't aware that Catharine b. abt 1757 was a Link. Is she related to Rebeccah Link who married Simon Peter Plott abt 1814 In VA? I've been under the impression that Catharine is a Entsminger. I do believe Catherine is spelled Catharine & even Simon's daughter Catharine b. abt 1834 in Indiana is spelled this way. In the collection of pictures her name is spelled Catharine. I wonder if these are indeed the same people.

The Plot thickness.... alittle humor here. Well one thing I do know the Plott's that I'm related to have humor & love to laugh.

Hello, Just noticed your message on the board. Henry Plott (from VA to IN) was my gr gr gr grandfather also. His son Simon was my gr gr grandfather and his son Elijah my gr. grandfather. My grandfather was Clement Plott. I would be interested in how your line descends from Henry Plott. Hoping to hear from you. Barb

I have viewed some records of your line in the Los Angeles County Recorder's Office. I have sent a message to you via the yahoo mailbox you posted in 2004 at rootsweb, but have not had a reply. I found you listed in the phone book; shall I call?

Please note that the web page mail form I used on this message is different than my mailbox previously used. I'm changing ISPs and this one will forward to whichever one is my current service. To reach me, use http://www.snarked.org/~kd6lvw/message.php

PS: I show TM Plotts as born in 1837 in or near Brown, OH, and living in Macomb, IL in 1860, Butler Co., KS in 1870, Wellington, KS in 1880, and moved to Los Angeles in 1881 or 1882.

I am from the same group of Plotts that you are looking for. I have just confimed that Henry and Catherine Link Plott did marry and had several kids. We are NO way related to the Plotts from the Carolina'a. I am also at a stopping point and don't know where to turn next. Some one mentioned Penn. Maybe I will start there. I have the family names coming from down from Henry is Simon, Elijah, John Newton, then down to my grandfather. But like i said i have confirmed that Henry and Catherine are real and the dates and kids are correct. Now we just need to keep going on further back. We will find it soon.....hopefully.

You can find the information on the children here:
http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&...

Don't trust the next generation back, however. I have yet to prove that Joanna Badgley and James Byron Langdon were married in NJ when everyone seems to be stating they were. There was an 1805 marriage of Joanna Badgley and Moses Cherry, but not the other.
