Surnames: Plumer, Plummer
Seeking information on Betsey Plummer wife of William7 Plummer of the Francis Plumer line.
(Loring8, William7, Robert6, William5, Aaron4, Joseph3, Joseph2, Francis1).

(The last name for William appears as both Plumer and Plummer.)

Also her given name could be Elizabeth, as Betsey was a popular nickname for Elizabeth at this time. So I am looking for the maiden name of Betsey or Elizabeth “Betsey” ( ? ) Plummer.

So William Plummer was born in Durham, ME. Married Betsey. They had Loring in Brunswick, ME. They next lived in Athens, ME. Then it appears that they moved to Dover, ME where William’s mother died, and where they both died.
This suggests the Elizabeth “Betsey” may have been from one of these areas.
__________________
Loring Plummer was born in 1811. William Plummer would be ( 1811-1787=24) about 24. I would guess William and Betsey got married around 1808 +/- 3 years.
Their Record of Marriage would help, but it has not been found.

Any information other children William and Betsey Plumer may have had.
