In November 1777 he was appointed volunteer aide-de-camp to William Alexander (Lord Stirling), with the rank of major, and thereby lost his rank in the Continental line; but in the following year, at Washingtons solicitation, he received a commission as lieutenant-colonel in a new regiment to be raised in Virginia.

One of the books written by Plumer is his work on practical piety.
Not only does Plumer cover the truth and fruit of a regenerate life, but he also extricates many of the professors of Christianity from their false security.
Though Plumer lived some 200 years later, the essence of his work is still very much Puritanical, or Biblical.

 Controlling the Law: Legal Politics in Early National New
Thus, for example, while Plumer succeeded in reforming New Hampshire’s Executive Branch to a large degree with his state constitution of 1792, he absolutely failed to strengthen the Judicial Branch, which remained vulnerable to the Legislative Branch’s arbitrary and frequent (not to mention nakedly partisan) reorganizations (pp.12, 20).
Reid says that by the time Plumer became governor in 1816, judicial control of juries was less electric an issue than it had been when Smith first raised it a decade before.
Plumer went on record to the effect that the whole of the common law was a usurpation, that it represented a government of men, not laws (p.185).
