When searching Pastoral records at Easton Public Library, Marx History Room, Easton, Northampton Co., PA I came across a William Washburn buried August 18, 1783, age 4. Due to the room closing, I did not ascertain which church of 4 that this William was buried in present day Carbon, Monroe, Lehigh & Northampton Counties. I will obviously return to find out. The Citation: "Pastoral Records, Marriages and Burials 1773-1787, Abraham Blumer - Reformed Minister Page 20 - Burials Call # H929.3 PA L1 B658H Discussion from Descendants of Jesse & Silence welcome. Opinions & Facts: 1. The only known WASHBURN family in the area during this time period are Silence & Jesse WASHBURN, children, and two unknown children of Jesse & 2nd wife, presumably Mary Rhodes. 2. This could be a son of Jesse Washburn & Mary Rhodes, Jesse Junior & Catherine, Daniel Washburn & Maria Barbara Helfrich, or Caleb & Unknown spouse. Most likely a son of Jesse Senior or Junior. 3. We do know from Daniel Washburn's personal account of the Wyoming Massacre which occurred in 1778 that those present were his father Jesse, & step-mother with two young children. 4. We have never known what happened to Jesse's second wife and those two small children or knowledge of their names so this could be one of them. The year of burial, 1783, fits Daniel's description of two small children in August of 1778. 5. Sarah Washburn, daughter of Jesse & Silence was married by this same pastor, Abraham Blumer, the same year of 1783 on February 04, to Jacob Andreas. Cheers! Ken Maxwell [email protected]
