TARNER.

Mr. Turner is credited, on the Mass. rolls, with several enlistments in the Revolution, but no record of his family has been report- ed ; his wife, Chloe died in Hebron, Oct. 31, 1811, and we conclude that some of his children were settled here.

MASEBARN.
JOHN WASHBURN of Shepardsfield , yeoman, bought in 1783, the N. E. half of lot 6, in the 2d range, Ist div., title by order of the General Court in 1796 and in 1797, he sold the same to John Greenwood. He may have lived in Buck- field, but if so, must have returned, for he died in Hebron Aug. 9, 1811. On the Mass. muster rolls of 1779, he is des- cribed as of Plympton, 26 years old, dark complexion, 5ft and 6in in hight. He marched on the Lexington alarm and served in Col. Cotton's Regt. at the seige of Boston. Other Washburns settled in the vicinity and for lack of information we may have fallen into errors in classifying ; nevertheless, we conclude that the above named John had brothers Japh- et, s. in Paris and Stephen and Ephraim in Shepardsfield and that they were sons of Ephraim5 and Mary of Plymp- ton, (John4, Joseph3, John2, John1).
