Clement Plumsted (bapt.Tooltip baptised 2 May 1680[1] – 26 May 1745)[2]: 168  was native of Norfolk and among the East Jersey proprietors associated with William Penn.

[2]: 167–168  He was also the father of William Plumsted, who also served as mayor of Philadelphia.

[4][5] In October 1742, Plumsted was mayor during a riot later referred to as the "bloody election" where prominent members of the Proprietary Party hired sailors to "knock the Dutch off the steps" of the courthouse where elections were being held.

[3]: 148–149  The riot was said to be instigated by William Allen, and Plumsted was said to have not done anything to stop the violence which he excused due to age and illness.
