Families of the Children of Abisha⁵ Washburn and Hannah⁵ Morton

For the families of the children of Abisha Washburn and Hannah Morton I must rely on research of Sheila McCreven and Dick Bucknum and others where published vital records and easily accessible online records are lacking. I have not yet been able to find any children of their daughter Sarah Washburn and her husband John Chipman, nor have I found what happened to youngest daughter Deborah Washburn or been able to verify the early deaths of daughters Lucy and Rebecca Washburn, so this file will be added to as new information is discovered.

[E] The Will of Henry Loomis of Burlington, Chittenden County, Vermont (1886) *

Know all men by these presents that I Henry Loomis of the City of Burlington County of Chittenden and State of Vermont being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare, this to be my last will and testament, and by this, revoking all former Wills by me made.

It is first my will that all of my just debts and funeral expenses, be paid as soon after my decease as conveniently may be

It is next my will that in case I should survive my dear brother Horatio G. Looms, My Executors, heirs or administrator fully carry out all instructions and requests made by him to me in writing, in relation to his Estate, intending by this, that all of his estate coming to me by his will, be used, if necessary, to carry out all such instructions and requests. And in case my dear Sister Maria Loomis should survive me, and her property be insufficient for her reasonable support, then after the Exhausting of her Estate for that purpose, I wish my heirs to provide for her just, and proper Support, consistent with their ability for so doing, and secure to her for the remainder of her life this provision for her support.

It is next my will that the sum of Eleven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars, be equally divided between my sons William, Luther and Horatio or their heirs, this being the balance of the Estate of their dear Mother, the income since her death having been Expended by me for charitable, or other purposes, that I thought would meet her full approbation

It is next my will in case I survive my son Luther, that such portion of my Estate, as in it’s equal division between my said three sons, would have fallen to my said son Luther, be safely invested by my Executors or administrator, and from the net income thereof, there be paid to his wife Frances annually, or at such times during each year as she may need it, and until she shall again marry or until her death, a sum not less than One Thousand Dollars, nor more than Fifteen Hundred Dollars. Provided the net income from this portion of my estate shall be sufficient for the support and proper education of their child, or children, of my said son Luther, and leave a balance sufficient to pay the first or last named sums; and such balance of the net income falling below the sum of one thousand dollars, she shall receive this balance in place of the first named sum. And should she again Marry, then she shall annually receive, as above provided, the sum of Five Hundred Dollars. Provided, as above, there shall be sufficient to pay this amount after paying the expense of the support and Education of the child or children from the net income. And when his son Henry or other children that may be born to my said son, and his said wife, shall become of age according to law, he or they may receive his or their equal portion of this part of my Estate, by securing to their Mother their equal part of his Annuity, provided my said son shall not then be living

It is next my Will that a tier of lots fronting on the South side of Loomis Street in Burlington aforesaid and running south two hundred feet from the south side of said Loomis Street, be laid out, and that all of that part of my homestead lying south of said lots, to Pearl Street, in said Burlington, together with all buildings on said land, and all personal property upon said land, and in my House and outbuildings of the homestead, saving my notes, Bonds, money, and accounts due me, if any such are found in my house, be taken by my son Luther Loomis if then living, and that he be charged therefor, the sum of Sixteen Thousand Dollars, in the equal division of my Estate, after the payment of my debts and any legacy or legacies hereinafter named. Provided there shall be enough left of my estate after the payment of my just debts, and funeral expenses, and any legacy or legacies herein made, and not compel him against his will, to pay to the other heirs any sum to equalize his portion with their Equal portions. And should my son Luther not survive me, I then wish this portion of my Estate to be taken by my Son Horatio and that he be charged therefor the sum of Thirteen Thousand Dollars, It being my object in this division of my estate to prevent any appraisal of my household effects, which appraisal I desire shall not be made, and trust that my children will respect this feeling

To the First Congregational Society in Burlington Vermont where I have attended church the greater part of my life, I give that portion of it’s property, the title to which is in me as one of the Pew Holders or Owners under its original Organization, but reserve to my heirs, that shall be in sympathy with the Liberal Christian Views of this Society, the right to Vote in all legally warned meetings of said Pew Holders, upon all matters over which the Pew Holders or Owners hold control. And at such meetings, any of my heirs or their successors that are present, if of this Liberal Christian faith, may have equal rights, and only one being present, if loyal to the faith for which this Society has for so many years stood, he or she may exercise this right by Voting on the Whole Stock, and if none of my heirs or their successors, after reasonable diligence to warn those, that may be able to attend a meeting, of the coming meeting then the Society may elect one of its members to vote, under instructions, at any coming meeting next to take place and for that meeting only. And should my Estate, by assuming for that portion Set off for my son Luther; at an appraisal of Thirteen Thousand Dollars, amount in all to the sum of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars, then I farther give to said Society the sum of Three Thousand Dollars the income of which sum, after its safe investment shall, or may be expended in the discretion of the Prudential Committee for the painting and repairs of the Church, the Sexton’s House, and the Fence, and for keeping the grass and trees in good and proper order, but should my estate appraise as above directed at a sum less than One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars then this donation shall be reduced to One Thousand Dollars

I hereby appoint my sons William and Luther as my executors, and in case of the death of either of my said Sons, I appoint my Son Horatio to act, in place of the one deceased, and direct that no surety be required upon their bond to the Probate Court

In witness whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name and affixed my seal this Eleventh day of February A.D. 1882

The above written instrument having been subscribed in our presence, by the said Henry Loomis, and by him acknowledged to each of us, as being his last Will and Testament we the subscribers, at the request of the said testator have signed our names as witnesses thereto, in his presence, and in the presence of each other
