WASHBURN .- John Washburn was early in Duxbury : he had an action in Court against Edward Doten 1632 : is named in the assessment of taxes 1633: purchased Edward Bonpasse's place beyond the creek called Eagle's nest, 1634. He and his 2 ss. John and Philip, were included with those able to bear arms in the colony 1643, and his name is also among the first freemen of Duxbury. IIe and his's. John were original proprietors of Bridg., and they and Philip became residents and settlers here in S. B. as early as 1665 : he d. here before 1670. We find no notice of any other children except these two sons. John Washburn was the first Secretary of the Council of Plymouth in England, and was succeeded by William Burgess 1628 : whether he had any connection with the family here is not ascertained. William, Daniel, and John Washburn were proprietors on Long Island as early as 1653, and soon disappeared from the records there : who they were, or whither they went, is not ascertained : we have always supposed that all of the name in this part of the country descended from John first above named. The name is variously written on the early records, Washburne, Washborn, Washborne, Washburn : the latter is now generally adopted, and has always been so written by the family here.
2. John (s. of John 1.) m. Elizabeth, D. of Experience Mitch- ell, 1645, and had John, Thomas, Joseph, Samuel, Jonathan, Benjamin, Mary 1661, Elizabeth, Jane, James 1672, and Sarah : his will 1686. We find the following : " I do also wish my cousin Elizabeth much joy with her D., that God has given to her six ss.," being an extract of a letter from Thomas Mitchell, dated at Amsterdam 24th July, 1662, to his uncle Experience Mitchell. The application of this congratulation to this family cannot be doubted. Ile sold his house and lands 1670, at Green's harbour, Duxbury, which his father had given him. John and Samuel were exor's to their father's will. He appointed his " kind friend" John Tomson, and his " brother" Edward Mitchell, Trustees and Overseers in the execution of it, and in taking care of the chil- dren. Mary m. Samuel Kinsley 1694, or earlier .- Elizabeth m. James Howard, and afterwards Edward Sealey .- Jane m. Wm. Orcutt Jr .- Sarah m. John Ames 1697.
3. Philip (s. of John 1.). We cannot find that he left either wife or children : his father gave him a farm in Duxbury 1666, which he sold to Samuel Seabury 1679, and he sold other lands to Thomas Lazell in 1684 : his brother John, in his will, directs his s. John to take care of " his uncle Philip," implying an in- capacity in him either of mind or body to take care of himself ; probably the latter, as he had been in possession and manager of

a farm. Joseph Washburn " gave a bond to take care of his uncle Philip 1685," who was living 1700.
4. Jolın (s. of John 2.) m. Rebeckah Lapham 1679, and had Josiah 1680, John 1682, Joseph 1683, William 1686, Abigail 1688, Rebeckah, and perhaps other children. Ile was living 1719, and was d. 1724. Abigail m. Josiah Leonard 1717 .- Rebeckah m. David Johnson 1719.
5. Thomas (s. of John 2.) lived near Lazell and Perkins' works ; had 2 wives, the first Abigail, D. of Jacob Leonard ; the 2d Deliverance, D. of Samuel Packard : no children on town records : his will 1729, whence we collect the names of the fol- lowing : Nathaniel, Thomas, Timothy, Hepzibah, Patience, De- liverance, Elizabeth .- Hepzibah m. John Hutchinson 1708 .- Patience was then dead, having left children : whose wife she was is not ascertained .- Deliverance m. Ephraim Jennings 1719. Elizabeth m. Josiah Conant 1701 .- No account of Nathaniel .- He gave David Perkins liberty by deed to join the mill dam to his land 1697.
6. Joseph (s. of John 2.) m. Hannah, D. of Robert Latham, and lived in E. B., and had Joseph, Jonathan, Ebenezer, Miles, Ephraim, Edward, Benjamin, Hannah, and perhaps others. It appears he was afterwards in Plymouth and Plympton by deeds he gave 1707, 1714, and 1720, in which his father Latham is mentioned : perhaps he had also a son John of Plymouth. Han- nah probably m. Zechariah Whitmarsh 1730 .- Hepzibah Wash- burn (whose D. not known) m. Benjamin Leach 1702 .- Miles Washburn was chosen petty juror in B. 1699.
7. Samuel, (s. of John 2.) called Sergeant, m. Deborah, D. of Samuel Packard, and had Samuel 1678, Noah 1682, Israel 1684, Nehemiah 1686, Benjamin, and Hannah : he d. 1720, æ. 69, and left a will, by which it appears Noah and Israel were then dead. Hannah m. John Keith 1711.
