The Frank Plumtree obit belongs to the Frank Plumtree in Spragueville. He is my great great grandfather, no doubt about it. I was raised in Antwerp and still have family in Watertown. I have mined the nnyln and fultonhistory newspaper sites for all of these folks. The actual age is around 100 give or take. Depends on what record you want to believe at any given time. My problems arise from the my families handed down knowledge. According to ledgend, this Frank Plumtree had 1 and only 1 spouse, Julia DeCanter Plumtree also resting in Spragueville. They had 7 children and all are known. He is also known to have lived and worked in Lewis County, Town of Montague, Tug Hill area for a while. Now this Frederick J Plumtree shows up in the 1900 Town of Montague census as a son of a Frank and wife named Sarah married about 4 years after Julia died. Coinciedence or not?? These are the questions I'm after. Are the two Franks the one and the same? Is Frederick related as half siblings to the other 7 or not? Has the ledgend been wrong all these years? Were did Frederick J go next? Thanks again for your reply. Respefully, Bob Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
