Adriana,

Generation 4 should read = Jonathan WASHBURN & Mary VAUGHAN
One Source;
Notes from Francis Cooke of the Mayflower First Five Generations by Ralph V.
Woods, Jr., Piction Press 1996

The parentage of Jonathan Washburn is established by: (a) his father's will,
dated 1686, which names son Jonathan, (b) his brother Benjamin's will, dated
1690, naming brother Jonathan, and (c) a deed, dated 1694, from Jonathan
Washburn et al to Samuel Washburn, selling land "left unwilled by our Father
& father in law John Washburne deceased..."
No marriage record has been found for Jonathan Washburn and Mary Vaughan.
However, the will of George Vaughan, dated 30 June 1697, names his daughter
Mary Washburn. In a deed, dated 25 October 1697, Jonathan Washburn of
Bridgewater, with the consent of his wife Mary, sold a house and land in
Middleborough which had been conveyed to Mary by the will of her father,
George Vaughan.
On 10 January 1725, Benjamin Washbourn of Bridgewater was named
administrator on the estate of his father Jonathan Washbourn late of
Bridgewater. On the same day, Benjamin Washbourn, with Thomas Snell of
Marshfield and Amos Snell of Bridgewater as sureties, posted bond.
On 20 June 1727, Mrs. Mary Washburn, widow, was appointed administratrix of
the estate of her husband Jonathan Washburn of Taunton, deceased. Apparently
this Washburn family lived in the Bridgewater/Taunton area. Possibly
Jonathan owned land in both towns, which are in separate counties.


Generation 5 = Josiah WASHBURN was married first to Elizabeth DAVENPORT,
second and your line, as well as mine, to Sarah Richmond.

249. Josiah Washburn (Jonathan[4], Elizabeth Mitchell[3], Jane[2]Cooke,
Francis[1]) born in Bridgewater in 12 May 1686, died in Bridgewater 27
January 1733/4.
Josiah married (1) in Bridgewater on 20 June 1723 to Elizabeth
Davenport, died probably in Bridgewater about 1724-1725; probably the
daughter of Richard and Abigail (Shaw) Davenport of Weymouth.
Josiah married (2) about 1725 Sarah Richmond, born probably in Taunton
about 1701, died in Bridgewater 9 June 1787; daughter of Edward Richmond
and a descendant of Pilgrim Thomas Rogers. Sarah (Richmond) Washburn married
(2) in Bridgewater 13 February 1737/8 Samuel Crane, and had son Samuel. No
marriage record has been found for Josiah Washburn's marriage to Sarah
Richmond. The will of Edward Richmond of Taunton, dated 3 June 1738, proved
9 December 1741, names wife Mary and daughter Sarah Crane, with other
children. It is through disposition of the estate of Samuel Crane [Sarah's
son by second husband] that identities of his Washburn half-brothers and
half-sisters are established and the children of Sarah's first husband
[Josiah Washburn] are verified.
Josiah Washburn died intestate. His estate was administered by his
widow, Sarah Washburn, and her father Edward Richmond.
Children (WASHBURN), probably born in Bridgewater:
1254 i Mary, born about 1727.
1255 ii Josiah, born about 1729.
1256 iii Silence, born about 1731.
1257 iv Jonathan, born about 1733

Good Luck,
Ken Maxwell (WASHBURN)
