General Notes: Husband - Nathaniel Plumer


He went with his father to Pennsylvania in childhood, and settled in the western part of the state, purchasing four hundred acres of land on the south side of the Monongahela River, embracing part of the site of Mount Washington, which became one of the wards of the city of Pittsburgh. He located there in 1789. [HVC 1919, 697]

He was born in Essex County, Massachusetts. He grew up in his native place, spending the years of his youth and young manhood there, until he was about thirty-five years of age. Then, about 1780, he moved to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, with his wife and family. Here he settled on what became known as the Anderson Farm, within the limits of the borough of Dormont, a location which was long the home of his descendants. In that region, then but a wilderness, he acquired a tract of some four hundred acres, which with his sons he cleared of the virgin growth and reclaimed for the purposes of agriculture. Here, also, he erected the first house in the neighborhood. This building was of stone and was still standing in a state of excellent preservation into the twentieth century, forming one of the landmarks of the community. The stone from which it was constructed was gathered from the farm in the process of clearing it. Here Nathaniel Plummer finally came to his death, and was buried in the old St. Clair burying ground.
