The Plaster surname is Anglicized from the German name "Platsher". German
derivations of the name include Pflaster, Pflasterer, Plaesterer, etc. It
is speculated that Plasters orginally founded in Paris (as in Plaster of
Paris) where they started a craftsman commune or syndicate specializing
in plaster art crafts, such as ceilings and walls. This was in about the
9th century in the Kingdon of Normandy in France before France had a
single king. This skill gave them the ability to travel and make a good
living as artisans. Thus, Plasters are found in other areas of Europe,
such as England, Italy and Germany. Most Plasters in the United States
derive from the German Plasters, most believe to have been three of four
brothrs, Michael, Henry, Conrad and or Abraham. Michael to Virginia,
Henry and Conrad to Pennsylvania, and Abraham to North Carolina. The
father of our Plaster line is Michel Platscher, born before 1728, who
came to Chester County, PA, from Germany (perhaps through Amsterdam in
1742). Michel arrived at Port Philadelphia, PA, on September 21, 1742
(age 14+) under the name Michel Platscher (with a.. or umlaut over the
"a" indicating a long "a" as in plate. He arrived aboard the ship
Francis and Elizabeth, George North, Master from Rottrdam, last from
Deal, England. Marriage records of Holy Trinity (Old Swedes) Church in
Wilmington, DE, shows Michel marrying Thamar Hewston, original records in
Swedish. Michel and Tamar Houston had three children. There has also
been an asserted family connection between Michael Plastcher's first
wife, Tamar Houston and Sam Houston. Chester Co. tax list from 1765 to
1769 lists Michel Plaster as owning various personal property. The 1766
list states that Michel was an "inmate" with no property. The 1769 lists
Michel as owning 100 acres of land, 2 horses, 2 cows, and 3 sheep. Michel
is not listed in the 1771 Chester Co., PA Tax List.
In 1788, Michel was listed in a Henry Co., VA document where he renounced
allegiance to Great Britain and swore allegiance to the Commonwealth of
Virginia. In 1785 Michel signed the Petition of Residens of Bedford and
Henry Counties opposed to the formation of a new counrty, Franklin. The
1787 tax list for Franklin Co. (formerly Henry Co.) indicated that he and
his second wife, Charity, owned three horses and 8 cows. There was also
one white male age 16-21 years in residence.
NOTE: Family lore has it that the Plasters were in Wales prior to entering the United States.
