Families of the Children of Jonathan4 Washburn and Rebecca Perry

 

 

The families of the children of Jonathan Washburn and Rebecca Perry are very difficult to prove. I am posting the supposed family of elder son Silas Washburn with the understanding that if new information is uncovered, particularly the name of his wife and the correct birth order of his children, it may be added to. It is probable that Jonathan’s younger son Lemuel Washburn never married, and I have found no record to substantiate the purported marriage of daughter Susanna Washburn to George McCoy of New Jersey.

(473.) Silas5 Washburn, elder son of (131) Jonathan4 Washburn, (59) Joseph3, (43) John2 (5th), (28) John1 (4th); born in Bridgewater, Plymouth Co., MA, on 11 Feb. 1712/13,[1] married (____), and they supposedly moved to Carmel, Dutchess (now Putnam) Co., NY, but no land records were found for him in Dutchess Co., NY. Silas Washburn’s name appears as a resident tenant of a farm in the village of Carmel in Dutchess County, made on 12 Apr. 1762,[2] but he was not listed as a head of household in Dutchess Co., NY, in the 1790 federal census.

         Silas Washburn presumably died in Dutchess Co., NY,[3] but no probate records were filed for his estate in Dutchess Co., NY, and his burial location is unknown. No record has been found by me to prove his marriage or children.

         Silas Washburn supposedly had children,[4] order uncertain:

        1479     i   Samuel Washburn, born say ca. 1743 in Dutchess Co., NY, marriage not found.

        1480     i   Ebenezer Washburn, born say ca. 1745 in Dutchess Co., NY, no further record found.

+      1481    ii   Zebulon6 Washburn, born ca. 1747 in Dutchess Co., NY,[5] married Phebe Wilson in ca. 1768,[6] and lived in Frederickstown, Dutchess Co., NY, and Kent, Putnam Co., NY. (Continued in Washburn Sixth Generation.)

+      1482   iii   Silas6 Washburn (Jr.), born say ca. 1750 in Dutchess Co., NY, supposedly married Hope Tupper, daughter of William and Susanna (Clapp) Tupper, of Middleborough, Plymouth Co., MA.[7] (Continued in Washburn Sixth Generation.)

+      1483    v   Jonathan6 Washburn, born supposedly on 20 Feb. 1754 in Dutchess Co., NY,[8] married Mary Merritt, daughter of Hackaliah and Eunice (Cole) Merritt,[9] in ca. 1786.[10] (Continued in Washburn Sixth Generation.)

        1484   vi   Isaac6 Washburn, supposedly a Loyalist in the Revolutionary War,[11] he may have been the Isaac Washburn living in Philipstown, Dutchess Co., NY, in the 1790 federal census,[12] marriage not found.

 

 

(474.) Lemuel5 Washburn, younger son of (131) Jonathan4 Washburn, (59) Joseph3, (43) John2 (5th), (28) John1 (4th); born in Bridgewater, MA, on 18 Aug. 1714,[13] moved to New Jersey, but no marriage record was found for him. He was probably the Lemuel Washburn who was living in Sussex Co., NJ, in the 1740s, but he was not a head of household in New Jersy in the 1790 federal census. He may have been the father of:

+      1485     i   Jeremiah6 Washburn, born ca. 1738, probably in Sussex Co., NJ, moved to Kentucky and married 1.) Rebecca Devore, daughter of Nicholas and Sarah (Decker) Devore,[14] in ca. 1765 in KY, and 2.) Elizabeth (Duval) Milleage, daughter of John Duval, on 20 June 1778 in Bourbon Co., KY.[15] (To be continued in Washburn Sixth Generation.
