176 known descendants · view family tree →

John Plascatt (Plaskett) of Whitehaven, Cumberland, England. Found in parish records of St. Bees and St. Nicholas, Whitehaven.

Parish records show children of John Plascat/Plascatt of Whitehaven: - Jan 1696: Anne, daughter of John Plascat - Feb 17, 1698: William, son of John Plascatt (possible immigrant to Trenton, NJ) - Jan 21, 1703: daughter of John Plaskett - Mar 23, 1705: John, son of John Plaskett

The William born 1698 would be approximately 34 years old when first documented in Trenton, NJ in 1732 - the right age for a working mason establishing himself in America.
