Dear Washburn Cousins:
After the test results from our first three Washburn DNA participants
came back "unrelated," I started to get worried. I am happy, however, to report
that we have a match after the fourth participant's results were announced
yesterday. It is, however, only a minor victory. The latest test results indicate
that my father, John Washburne, Sr., is my perfect Y-chromosome DNA match!
Since we told no one at Family Tree DNA or the testing lab of our family
connection, I can only

Does any one on this list have in their database record of the marriage
of a male PRYOR to a female WASHBURN during the late 1700's.
I am trying to find the parents of a Calvin Washburn PRYOR and am to

A man named John Washbourne married an Eliz. Williams on 10 APR
1670, Saint Michael, Barbados. A few years later, there was a John
Washbourne who lived in Accomack Co., VA. Many Englishmen moved from
England to Virginia by way of the Caribbean, especially Barbados. I
know that the man in Accomack was married to "Susannah," but she
could have been a second wife, if the two men were one and the same.
The time period for each is certainly suggestive.
Has anyone researched a Barbados connection for the
I found the following burial record for "a" John Washburn of the
Parish of St Michaels, Barbados, 20 May 1678:
http://english-america.com/places/bi167001.html#Barbados
It might be the same man who married there in 1670. We know that "a"
John Washbourne patented 600 acres in Accomack Co., VA, in 1679. I
wonder if the Virginian was a son of the man who died in Barbados?
The plot thickens!

something from it. It was posted by Glenda Subyak to that list.

Dear Washburn Cousins:
Two more participants in the Washburn DNA study received their results last
week and both of them matched others in the study. One of those who received
his results matched other descendants from the John Washburn (1620-1686) line
and the other gentleman matched descendants from the Gabriel Washburn
(1752-1826) line. As mentioned previously, there has yet to be a match between the New
England Washburn line of John and the Southern Washburn line of Gabriel.

After matching two people last week in our DNA study, we were not so lucky
with our latest participant to receive their results back. This person, who
belonged to a branch of the family from Michigan, did not match anyone who had

families that have used the Washburn surname.
Actually, the results of the latest test were a surprise. Genealogists had

WASHBURNs
We have Franklin W. WASHBURN b. 1836 Illinois according to the census in
1860
Hot Spring, Arkansas. Frank/Franklin married Mary "Polly" GRAY b. 1840
Alabama, 1 February 1859 Hot Spring, Arkansas. One son John Andrew WASHBURN
b. 1860 Hot Spring, Arkansas.
Frank disappears after this literally. Polly has remarried by 1864 with a
new baby.
We have been unable to connect with any WASHBURN's in New England.
If someone can add family group sheet to the Washburns below it would be
helpful.
I am especially interested in David H. WASHBURN. He is suppose to be kin
to my Franklin W. and his son J. A. WASHBURN. I just can't connect them
up.
