Families of the Children of Ebenezer⁴ Washburn and Patience Miles

The families of the children of Ebenezer and Patience Washburn are still very tentative, and they may not be entirely correct as given here. More research is undergoing on the Connecticut branches, and there will probably be other grandchildren of Ebenezer and Patience Washburn who will need to be added later. The families of son Joseph Washburn and daughter Rebeckah Washburn are very uncertain, and I have not been able to trace the family David Washburn at all. There has been a lot of discussion and searching for the surname of Martha, wife of Stephen Washburn, but I don’t believe any of the researchers have found proof for the identity of her parents yet. Mary Washburn, wife of Jacob Bull, of Kent, CT, has now been accepted as the daughter of Ebenezer and Patience Washburn, and more research is currently underway on the families of her children. The families of sons Jonathan and Ebenezer Washburn Jr. are still in progress.

Jacob Bull was living in Kent, Litchfield Co., CT, in the 1790,[275] 1800,[276] and 1810 federal censuses.[277] He died testate on 19 July 1811 in Kent, CT, aged 81 years,[278] his will dated 4 May 1811, and probated on 17 Aug. 1811 in New Milford, CT, mentioned his wife Mary, son Isaac Bull and his three sons Norman N., Buel B., and Madison W.

1581l xvii (Supposedly 4 more children who died young.)[309]

(503.) Ebenezer⁵ Washburn (Jr.), fifth son of (134) Ebenezer⁴ Washburn, (59) Joseph³, (43) John² (5th), (28) John¹ (4th); baptized in Kent, CT, on 21 Sept. 1746,[310] probably was the Ebenezer Washburn who settled first in Fredericksburgh on the Phillips Patent in what was then Dutchess Co., NY, and married Mary (___) in ca. 1766,[311] and had 8 children before the Revolutionary War. He was an Ensign in Capt. Mead’s Company, Col. Henry Luddington’s 7th Regiment of the New York Militia at the start of the Revolutionary War, but deserted by May of 1778, and joined the British Army.[312] His house was burned by the Patriots and his property confiscated, and was forced to move to Nova Scotia in 1782. They arrived in Annapolis on 19 Oct. 1782, with the expectation of receiving land there either in the Amos Botsford grant, or at Annapolis Digby. He supposedly answered a muster roll at Annapolis Digby township in July 1784.[313] Eventually he was able to locate at Gillivers Hole, which is on Gullivers Cove, NS, but by 1786 Ebenezer began selling his land in preparation for a move back to New York. His claim for relief, filed on 8 Mar. 1786 had been rejected,[314] and he found that he could not comfortably support his family in Nova Scotia. It appears that probably his wife Mary and some or all of their children were back in Dutchess Co., NY, by 1788, when his daughter Susannah was married there to Gilbert Drew.[315] Ebenezer was not listed as a head of household in New York in the 1790 federal census, but he may have sold all his land in Nova Scotia and settled his family in Middletown, in newly created Delaware Co., NY, by the 1800 federal census.[316] They were living in Middletown, Delaware Co., NY, in the 1810 federal census.[317]

Ebenezer and Mary Washburn supposedly had children:[318]

+ 1582 i Thomas⁶ Washburn, born in 1767, married Elizabeth (___), and lived in Annapolis Co., Nova Scotia. (To be continued in Washburn Sixth Generation.)

1582a ii Ebenezer⁶ Washburn (3rd), born in 1769, was married and living in Middletown, Delaware Co., NY, in the 1810 federal census,[319] possibly died on 17 Dec. 1831 in the shipwreck of the Caroline in the Bay of Fundy, NS.[320]

+ 1583 iii Susannah⁶ Washburn, born on 9 Sept. 1770 in Putnam Co., NY,[321] married Gilbert Drew (Jr.), son of Gilbert Drew,[322] in 1788 in Dutchess Co., NY, and they lived in Dutchess and Putnam Co., NY, and in Sussex Co., NJ. (To be continued in Washburn Sixth Generation.)

+ 1583a iv William⁶ Washburn, born ca. 1772, married Clarissa (___), and they probably lived in Delaware Co., NY. (To be continued in Washburn Sixth Generation.)

+ 1583b v David⁶ Washburn, born ca. 1774, married (____), and they also lived in Delaware Co., NY. (To be continued in Washburn Sixth Generation.)
