(Francis Plummer married) (3) Newbury 29 November 1665 Beatrice (Burt) Cantlebury, widow of William. She m. (3) by June 1676 Edward Berry of Salem. Francis said of her "that he lived so comfortable with her ... as a man would desire, and that if he had sought all the world over he could not have had a better wife" [Plumer Gen 9, citing EQC 25:91].
Although Francis Plummer died intestate, his last marriage contract, dated 25 November 1670, survives, giving details about the household goods Beatrice brought with her to the marriage. These items, her thirds, and the "new room and half the orchard,... and fire wood from the twenty acres near Little River, and the garden as it is now enclosed" were to be Beatrice's if Francis died first. If she died first, her property was to be "resigned up" to her heirs. If any debts were presented due from the estate of Beatrice's former husband, William Cantlebury, they were to be paid from her estate and not that of Francis [ EPR 2:321-2].
