From Charles Brewster, Rambles about Portsmouth (1972): "[Benjamin Plumer] made his will 7th May, 1740, the day before he died. He calls himself of Portsmouth. His orders were that his wearing apparel be taken to Boston and there be sold for the most it would bring. He speaks of no relative in this country, but wills the most of the property to his mother and brothers in London. He makes Thomas Plummer, of London, merchant, and Theodore Atkinson, of Portsmouth, N.H., executors. He made presents to Theodore Atkinson, John Loggin, and to 'my much esteemed friend' Mary Macpheadris. The presents to Miss Macpheadris were so numerous and valuable as to indicate intentions of marriage. The portrait of Miss Macpheadris can be seen in the house of the late Col. John N. Sherburne. She was the granddaughter of Lt. Gov. John Wentworth and wife of Hon. Jonathan Warner."
