(2032.) Elijah6 Washburn, eldest son of (700) Isaac5 Washburn, (175) Gideon4, (65) James3, (43) John2 (5th), (28) John1 (4th); born in Bridgewater, MA, on 1 Dec. 1753,[1] moved to Hardwick, MA, and married Mary Winchester, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Pratt) Winchester,[2] on 1 Jan. 1778 in Hardwick.[3] She was born on 10 Apr. 1753 in Hardwick,[4] a granddaughter of Benjamin Winchester.[5] Elijah and Mary Washburn possibly moved to Wilmington, Windham Co., VT, but they had moved back to Ludlow, MA, by 1790. On 1 June 1798 Elijah Washburn, of Ludlow, Hampshire Co., Blacksmith, sold to David Bullard, of Ludlow, Husbandman, a house and blacksmith’s shop in Ludlow where Elijah Washburn was living, near where Joseph Munger lives, for £50.[6] They were living in Ludlow, Hampshire (now Hampden) Co., MA, in the 1790 federal census,[7] and in the 1800,[8] and 1810 federal censuses.[9] He died intestate in 1812 in Ludlow, Hampshire Co., MA, and Josiah Sims was granted administration of his estate on 7 Apr. 1812.[10] The inventory of his estate was appraised by Noah Clark, Avartus Damon, and Erastus Dickinson, and totaled only $114.43, including a cow and a hog, but no real estate.[11]
Elijah Washburn and Mary Winchester had children:
4338 i Hannah Washburn, born on 2 Sept. 1780 in Wilmington, Windham Co., VT,[12] marriage not found.
4339 ii Thomas7 Washburn, born on 17 Apr. 1782 in Wilmington, VT,[13] marriage not found. On 20 Feb. 1804 Jonathan Carver, of Ludlow, Hampshire Co., yeoman, sold to Thomas Washburn, of Ludlow, Blacksmith, a dwelling house in Ludlow near where Joseph Munger lives, which David Bullard, of Ludlow, had conveyed to Carver on 12 Nov. 1798, for $160,[14] and on 15 Mar. 1804 Thomas Washburn, of Ludlow, Hampshire Co., Blacksmith, sold to Timothy Root, of Ludlow, Yeoman, the dwelling house in Ludlow where Jonathan Carver now lives near Joseph Munger’s, which Carver conveyed to Washburn on 20 Feb. 1804, for $100.[15] He had left Massachusetts by Mar. 1805. He may have been the Thomas Washburn who died on 5 Aug. 1857, aged 75 years,[16] and was buried in Fort Street Cemetery in Nelsonville, Athens Co., OH, but he was not found in the 1830, 1840 or 1850 federal censuses living in Athens Co., OH.
