Plymouth Township, Luzerne Co., Pennsylvania (Luzerne Co., PA rootsweb.com site.)
By an enrollment of the resident inhabitants of the valley, made in 1773, in the handwriting of Col. Zebulon Butler, the following persons are known to have been settlers in Plymouth: Noah Allen, Peter Ayres, Capt. Prince Alden, John Baker, Isaac Bennett, Daniel Brown, Naniad Coleman, Aaron Dean, Stephen Fuller, Joseph Gaylord, Nathaniel Goss, Comfort Goss, Timothy Hopkins, William Leonard, Jesse Leonard, Samuel Marvin, Nicholas Manville, Joseph Morse, James Nesbitt, Abel Pierce, Timothy Pierce, Jabez Roberts, Samuel Sweet, John Shaw, David Whittlesey and Nathaniel Watson.

Immediately after this enrollment Caleb Atherton, James Bidlack, Henry Barny, Benjamin Harvey, Silas Wadhams and Elijah Wadhams came into the township, if some of them were not there before. An old deed is mentioned by Hendrick B. Wright, in his Sketches of Plymouth as having been found in the valley archives, bearing date November 5, 1773, from "Samuel Love of Connecticut to Samuel Ransom, late of Norfolk, Connecticut, now living at Susquehanna." This is thought to have been for the Ransom homestead property. Another deed, bearing date September 29, 1773, from Henry Barney to Benedict Satterlee is to be seen among the same collection.

Account written by Enos Rose:
"The winter of 1817-18 was very cold, and for this country deep snows. The snow came about the 20th of December, 1817, and lay on until about the 20th of February, 1818. At that date, in the south half of the township there were Henry Barney and John Barney. They came into the township in 1815, and resided there until about 1835, and then removed to the State of Michigan, where they died in 1854 or 1855. Luther Coe settled in the township, on the farm now known as the Beadman farm, in 1816, and married Sophia Barney, the oldest daughter of Henry Barney, in 1817. I think this was the first couple married in the township. They lived together until they had six children - Seymour B., Julius S., and Mary Jane; the names of the other three I have forgotten. Luther Coe went in the summer of 1827 to Indiana, and was taken sick and died. His widow afterward married Rouse Bly, Esq
