JOE NOTES

Since our Plemmons/Plemons/Plemon lines in the United States date back prior to Ellis Island even being in existence, I never bothered to check these records. Jack Plemons of Arlington, TX told me that his son informed him that there are Plemmons and like sounding names recorded on passenger list as arriving at Ellis Island.

I checked it out and here is what I found.

JENNIES PLEMMONS female age 47 arrived 1 Sep 1923 on ship "Chicago" from Le Havre, Seine-Inferior, France. She was a US Citizen passenger and lived in Greenville, NC.

MACK W. PLEMMONS male age 22 arrived 11 Jun 1924 on ship "Monroe" from Cruz Grande, Chili. He was a US Citizen, ship crewmember. It did not give his residence.

THOMAS PLEMMONS male age 60 arrived 1 Sep 1923 on ship "Chicago" from Le Havre, Seine-Inferior, France. He was a US Citizen passenger and lived in Greenville, NC. (Was Jennies his wife?)

FRANCISCUS PLAAMANS male age 37 arrived 27 Oct 1922 on ship "Rotterdam" from Rotterdam South Holland, The Netherlands. He was a Dutch Citizen and ship crewmember.

FRANCISOUS PLAAMANS male age 36 arrived 13 Feb 1922 on ship "Nieuw Ansterdam" from South Holland, The Netherlands. He was a Dutch Citizen and ship crewmember.

FRANSISCUS PLAAMANS male age 36 arrived 14 Mar 1922 on ship "Nieuw Ansterdam" from South Holland, The Netherlands. He was a Dutch Citizen and ship crewmember.

LINA PLAMMAN unmarried female age 35 arrived 12 Nov 1896 on ship "Majestic" from Liverpool, England, UK. She was a Swedish Citizen. It appears Lina was the only immigrant. I found no indication as to what came of her. My guess is that the three Plaamans with very slight variations in first name spelling is the same crewmember going back and forth.

Now the question is. Who are Jennies, Mack W. and Thomas Plemmons? Maybe Janet Webb with her vast storehouse of knowledge can shed some light on them.
