Here is another reference to Francis Plumpton in the history of the school:
In the Accounts book there are two lists dated 1737 and 1738 in which children’s names have been written with their books next to their names. In 1736, John Anderson was noted because he had both a Bible and a Spelling Book. In 1737, however, 16 children were listed as having a Primer, Psalter or testament to use in lessons with the Dame.
