THIE PLUMER FAMILY.
1. FRANCIS PLUMER came from Wales, 1633 ; adm. freeman, May 14, 1634 ; settled in Newbury, Mass. ; was thrice m., and d. Jan. 17, 1672. His brother,
2. SAMUEL, b. 1619 ; adm. freeman, 1641 ; representative, 1676. From this branch,
3. Hon. WILLIAM, governor of New Hampshire, 1812 and 1816-18, and M. C., was descended, and probably the Plumers of Sanbornton and vicinity also, as some of the name in town are known to have been connected with the governor's family.
4. JESSE PLUMER was b. Sept. 18 (28), 1740 ('42) ; m. Sarah Merrill, who was b. April 16, 1739 ; rem. from Londonderry, 1777-79, first settled in the Woodman house, near the present Giles place, " minister great lot," and three years later took up his permanent abode in the edge of Meredith, near Sanbornton, where she d., Aug. 15, 1824, ae. 85-4, in this town, and he followed, Dec. 26, ac 81-3. (So closely identified was this family with Sanbornton, - the so-called " PInmer neighborhood" extending into our town, - that we give it nearly as a Sanbornton family. ) Children :
5, 6. NATHANIEL [16], b. May 20, 1764. MOSES [26], b. Oct. 20, 1765.
7. MOLLY, b. Nov. 27, 1766; m. Capt Elisha Piper (see p. 576 [62]).
8, 9. JESSE [32], b. Feb. 6, 1768. AMos [40], b. Sept. 11, 1769.
10. NATHAN [43], b. Oct. 3, 1772, in Newonry, Mass.
11. JOSEPH, b. Oct. 28, 1774, in Londonderry. An inborn fear of human beings seems to have driven him into solitude, and for nearly threescore years and ten he lived alone, being widely known as the " hermit of Meredith Ilill." He commenced his career at the age of 21, by buying seven acres of

land at the foot of the hill, not far from the Fox place. Here he built his first honse, iu a solitary forest, with a massive bauk wall extending towards a brook, and all with his own hands. The deep circular cellar is still seeu unimpaired (1878), and the identical ladder with which he used to descend, in partial preservation. The great freshet of 1826 overdowed his premises, and so alarmed him that he rem. three fourths of a mile to n larger tract of wild land, forty-three acres, which he had purchased, where he rebuilt his house, more in the heart of the forest, but near the Sanborntoou llue, and there cou- tinued till his death, Dec. 3, 1863, as. 89-1. ITis epitaph reads : "Couteut with seeking happiness for himself only, he lived in seclusion ; he died alone. Peace to his ashes, and rest to his soul." And yet he contributed greatly to the entertaimneut of thousands of visitors, during his last thirty or forty years, discoursing intelligently with theological studeuts upon Bible themes, and weighing all the ladies by a simple contrivance of hils owu juvention! Pages might be added of curious and interesting facts respecting himself and his surroundings. To Sanbornton Square he was accustomed to come for purposes of trade, driving a solltary steer, reined by the horus! lle let's property to the value of $2.200, with money secreted iu various places about his premises, which was divided among his thirty nephews and uicces. It was the greatest grief of his old age that his domain should be invaded by the building of the new Meredith Road from North Saubornton, and the following, among other lines of complaint, were iu part suggested by this affair :
-
" Iron stoves and wooden clock., Awful storms and dismal shocks, Railroads and turnpikes through the land, F'orebode destruction near at hand."
