Plunkett's (+Agnes Huston and listed as Jr in 1790 Census) father was James1 Plunket (Sr in 1790 census) from Anison Co, NC according to the land record when he 1st purchased land in what was then Mecklenburg Co now Cabarrus Co, NC. He died in 1810 and there was a 3 year probate joust over his estate. Ferby Hollans was his last wife (m. 11 FEB 1794). She and 4 minor children (unnamed of course) in the court records shared his sizable estate equally. Another wife before Ferby was Jane Ross (nee: Unknown, John Ross's widow) and a 3rd wife (name unknown) the mother of James2 (Jr>Sr), an unnamed sister who died orphaning a grandson David Doyle and who knows how many others. The Mecklenburg Co Court appointed James1 Plunkett Sr his guardian. The widow Ferby Hollans Plunket then married George Corzine 10 AUG 1820. I haven't had time to go through the Cabarrus Co land records to see who James1 Plunkett's lands were transfered to after his death. I am guessing the 4 m! inor children were out of Ferby due to the marriage date. But legal age was 21 not 18. Hope this helps.
