Mary Porter – A few notes on the Plummer Lakin family
I am primarily a PLUMMER/CHAPMAN researcher so I have little on the LAKIN family
Monarcha PLUMMER and George N. PLUMMER were double cousins not brother and sister
Monarcha’s parents were Thomas Kirk PLUMMER and Mary CHAPMAN
George N.’s parents were Jeremiah PLUMMER and Monica CHAPMAN
Also William PLUMMER married Tabitha CHAPMAN
Jeremiah, George and William PLUMMER were brothers and Monica, Mary and Tabitha CHAPMAN were sisters
George N. PLUMMER married his double cousin Mary “Polly” PLUMMER who was Monarcha’s sister
(George N. is listed in Thomas Kirk’s estate as an heir because he was married to Polly, his cousin George who married Elvira BRATTON was the son of Thomas Kirk PLUMMER)
Also I show William LAKIN parents as Samuel LAKIN and Sarah MUSGROVE
Perhaps John Musgrove LAKIN was a brother to William LAKIN ?
I have never been able to prove that George P. LAKIN was a son of William and Monarcha but he does seem to fit in the family. And I have never been able to prove Christina J. PLUMMER’s link to any of the PLUMMER families, but have thought she possibly belonged to William C. PLUMMER and Margary PLUMMER.
Catherine LAKIN married Henry PLUMMER son of William C. PLUMMER and Sally DILLMAN, William C. PLUMMER was the son of William PLUMMER and Tabitha CHAPMAN. William C. and Sally moved to Illinois about 1852/1853.
You said that Martha LAKIN who married Anderson HAMILTON raised William Henry LAKIN yet in the 1870 census I don’t see him living with them, possibly he joined the family after 1870 ? Anderson HAMILTON was married first to Rachel CHAPMAN the daughter of Naaman CHAPMAN (a brother to Monica, Mary and Tabitha CHAPMAN) and Rachel PLUMMER (a sister to William, Thomas Kirk and Jeremiah PLUMMER) so her stepchildren were also her 2nd cousins.
Children of Thomas Kirk PLUMMER and Mary CHAPMAN are
William C. PLUMMER m. Margary PLUMMER (a cousin)
George PLUMMER m. Elvira BRATTON
Monarcha PLUMMER m. William LAKIN
Eleanor PLUMMER m. Peter SHINKLE
Anna PLUMMER m. John GASKINS
Peggy PLUMMER m. Daniel DILLMAN
John Wesley PLUMMER m1. Rachel WHITESIDE m2. Martha HAMILTON
Polly PLUMMER m. George N. PLUMMER (her double cousin)
I haven’t worked on the family in many years and my documentation isn’t the best so please take with a grain of salt. Hope this helps to sort out the family relationships.
