Sonja: This is not my line but there is a will for Reuben Washburn, signed Feb 20, 1840. He names sons, John, Abram and daughters Mary, Elizabeth and Louisa Jane Washburn. A granddaughter Charlotte Mourning. Executor: John Thompson, Wit: L.W. Ledbetter and John A. Dollins. The Archives in Fayetteville, TN may have the will and probate records. I would write and ask for all they have on the surname Washburn. That address again is Lincoln CO., Archives, 1000-B West Washington St., Fayetteville, TN. 373334. Send them a self addressed stamped envelope so they can write back to let you know what they have and how much it will cost to make copies and mail.
