Biography

Of Anne Plummer, nothing is known prior to her marriage to Henry Samson on 6 Feb 1635, in Plymouth. Henry was baptized in 1604. So an estimated birth between 1604 and 1617 (18 years before marriage) is reasonable, say about 1610.[1][2]

Anne acknowledged a deed 24 Dec 1668, but was not mentioned in Henry's will dated 24 Dec 1684, so was then deceased.[3][1]

Children

This is the order mentioned in Henry's will (sons, then daughters). The Mayflower Society Five Generation Book and Anderson's Pilgrim Migration each list a different order and have different estimated births.

  • Stephen
  • John
  • James
  • Caleb
  • Elizabeth
  • Hannah
  • Daughter (unnamed)
  • Mary
  • Dorcas

I am finding very confusing data on several sites! Ancestry and FamilySearch report Hannah Sampson (daughter of Laurence Sampson and Mary Shabery?) married John Hanmore in 1638, and Ann Plumer married his father John Issac Hanmer in England in 1615 before the immigrated in 1629. But Wikipedia and several Mayflower sites says it was Sarah, the daughter of Henry Sampson (on Mayflower at 17 yrs old) and Ann Plumer who married John in 1639.

The "Silver book" on the family of Henry Samson, published in 2000, says that John Hanmore or Hanmer married a daughter of Henry Samson, but that her given name is not known. John Hanmore's will (this is the father, not the son who married Samson's daughter), dated 04 Dec 1676 at Scituate, names a wife Hannah. So Henry Samson's daughter, given name unknown, married John Hanmore/Hanmer who was the son of another John Hanmore and his wife Hannah. Can I make it more confusing?

I see nothing new in the journals, giving Anne a father and birth place. I am disconnecting Plummer-1324

Plummer-3485 and Plummer-180 appear to represent the same person because: Profile for wife of Henry Samson, Mayflower passenger. Same birth place and death place, same spouse (dups pending merge). No quality sources on -3485. Please merge

What's the basis for giving Ann a birth in Grinton, Yorkshire, England and a named father there?
posted by Ellen Smith
Ann has parents listed as Matthew Plummer, 1639-1664, and Elizabeth Metcalf b. 1640. Since Ann is listed as having been born in 1615 these can not be correct.
