Surnames within this posting: WASHBURN, VAN HORN, MILLER & RENAULD Regions involved - Northampton, Carbon, Lehigh & Luzerne Counties PA, Kings & Nassau Counties NY Another WASHBURN line wall starting to crumble to reach present day relatives.................... Daniel H. WASHBURN is a grandson of Caleb WASHBURN, Caleb being a son of Silence & Jesse WASHBURN. Daniel H. volunteered for the Pennsylvania 81st., Company K on August 24,1862. It has been known that he died April 24, 1931 at Freeport, Long Island, New York however the last known census he appeared in was in Weatherly Pennsylvania, 1880. I found Daniel H. and wife Sarah nee Van Horn in the 1900 U.S. Census, Brooklyn, Kings County, New York, living with his son Emory B. WASHBURN & family. The reason Daniel H. wasn't listed in the electronic indexes I've searched? The given name Daniel was entered as Dan'l, the "l" was a little blurp in the upper right. The 81st. PA Company K re-enactors have not been able to confirm Daniel H. was buried where he died in Freeport, NY or if he was brought back to the plot, lot # 238, he had in the Union Cemetery, Weatherly, PA. I know where the plots are, but no markers exist today. I will attempt to get a copy of Daniel H.'s death certificate from New York to ascertain where he is buried. If I find where he is buried, I believe the U.S. Government will supply a grave marker. Daniel H. was listed as a school director as per: From "History of Lehigh & Carbon, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania" by Alfred Mathews & Austin N. Hungerford Chapter XXVI "The Borough of Weatherly" Page 782 "The School Directors have been as follows: 1883. - J.C. Streeter, C.J. Hoffman, Daniel Washburn WASHBURN brothers in the 81st.
