The following information I recorded while researching my WASHBURN line in NE-PA. It contains more then 100 other surnames so I figured since I had to transcribe it into my database anyway, I would post it so others might benefit. I copied the pages I list below which are the first two books below before reaching my copy limit in the research room. The entire content of each page below contain many more names and I've scanned and converted the pages to PDF format and can send them to you if so wanted.
