Judy, I gave you all I know. Her marriage to James Bennett Plummer in 1833 gave her name as Unity Workman, but I have never been able to find out any more than that. Then for some reason, I began to believe that she might have been a widow of someone named Workman, but she was only 15 when she married James Bennett! They had a son and a grandson both named Irvin Plummer. I could be wrong. She is one of those "end points" that we all have. She and James Bennett Plummer were my gr-grandparents and the lines go WAY back, except for her!
