Families of the Children of John4 Washburn (3rd) and his wives Hannah Hallett and Hannah
Thorneycraft
Most of the children of John Washburn (3rd) and his wives Hannah Hallett and Hannah Thorneycraft that I am able to trace settled in Westchester County, New York, for several generations, a few moving north to Dutchess County. Son Samuel remained in Newtown, Long Island, but no descendants of his are traced at this point. These families are an ongoing work in progress, many are incomplete, and I will be add to this file as new information is uncovered.
