    Probably all of this name in Milford come from Robert, and he was most likely son of Mr. John Plum, of Weathersfield. P. B. Plumb, United States Senator from Kansas, descends from Robert, whose wife was daughter of Sylvester and Sarah (Bryan) Baldwin and sister to Sarah, wife of Benjamin Fenn. She was baptised April 22, 1621, and her father died on the ship Martin during the passage here.
