Asa Plumb, the oldest picture of the Plumbs that I have. It began my journey into the family history. The Plumb story.......
Asa was born in New London County Conn. USA.
In 1818. His death was 1903 on the family farm in Macedon,NY. His parents were Elisha plumb and Rhoda Waters. Elisha 1773-1875, fought in the battle of 1812.
Asa was married three separate times His first wife was Sara Sabin from Ontario NY born 1824-1859. Daughter of Samuel Sabin. her brother was a Doctor in Palmyra NY.
Asa and Sara had as far as I know 4 girls their first child was
Ida Fidelia who died in childhood. She and her mother are buried in the Dickenson Cemetery in Ontario NY. 2nd child
Caroline A 1843, 3rd child Margaretta A 1845, 4th child
Elizabeth 1849. His second wife Catherine Elebash 1823-1860
Their two children Sarah H 1853, Charles E 1858 who is my 2nd gen. great grandfather. His 3rd wife is Sarah Elizabeth Towne 1824-1912. They had no children together. Sarah E. Towne had a child with her first husband (Vanderoef) who died prior to marriage to Asa, their child James Elwin .
Sarah Elizabeth Towne is a descendant of the Towne family from Salam Mass. And the witch trials. Her descendant, Rebecca Nurse, who was the oldest woman hung during the witch trials.
The play the Crucible was based on the Towne Family and the witch trials.
