Saffron Walden & Mile End Plucks
Origins
This tree, which is a continuation of Tree 2, starts with John Pluck Jnr and his third wife, Elizabeth Ward. John and Elizabeth remained in Saffron Walden all their lives, but their son, Nehemial Snr, moved to Braintree, as did many other Plucks, and this was where Nehemiah Jnr was born. Nehemiah Jnr raised a large family in Mile End Old Town.
