Thank you, Susan. I assume that this Martin Washburn was the son of Ephraim Washburn and Sarah Martin, who were living in Fort Ann by 1825? John A.

L. Toussant, Could you supply a little more information such as a state or region? I have Dorcas on my Maxwell side from Nova Scotia, Canada, and a Reuben Washburn, PA., my great Grandfather on my mothers side.

There was yet another off topic message to the list. It has been taken care of. Some people don't seem to get it but this list is for Genealogy and will remain so. It is assumed that when a member joins and receives that first Welcome Letter that they read it and understand it. If anybody has lost theirs and would like a new copy to review, you may request one from ME at MY address, not through the list. Thanks!

David seeing your address reminded me My mother in law said she remember visiting my husbands grandfathers brother in Searport ME do you know of any Washburn's in that area around 1930 I think Raymond and George is who she remembers Thanks Naomi Washburn

Hi, Cousins, I know this is off-topic, and if you're annoyed at me for this, I'm sorry, but I feel we need to help protect each other whenever possible. With the recent virus scares going around, I thought I ought to share this. Several weeks ago I received a Trojan Horse-type virus from a fellow lister. Fortunately, my now two-year-old virus program caught most of it. There was an occasional odd little glitch here and there that bothered me but I had no idea what was going on until I later heard from this person who told me she had inadvertently passed this virus on and referred me to a website with a program that might help remove it. It did work! Thank goodness. And I want to share it with you. It's a Trojan Horse Remover and there's a 30-day free trial offer. The website is www.simplysup.com/tremover My sister was also having some kind of problem with her computer. They had tried a number of things but it kept getting worse. I sent her this info. and it found a Horse somewhere in her Windows setup. All is well now. Stay healthy -- you AND your computer -- and have a Wonderful New Year. Lyn

SURNAMES: WASHBURN, MARTIN, WASHBURNE, HUNTER, CALLANAN Charles D.M. WASHBURN was born 12 Aug 1822, Attica, Wyoming county, New York. He married my great-grandmother Mary Jane MARTIN 17 Oct 1865 at Omaha, Douglas county, Nebraska. She is the daughter of John L. and Rebecca (CASKEY) MARTIN, born 5 Jan 1845. There is a twenty-three year difference in their ages. I can not find proof, but I suspect he had a previous family. I can not track him from 1840 when he was unmarried in Attica, NY to 1865 when he got married in Omaha. His marriage record indicates he was from Waukesha county, Wisconsin. I know his father Lewis WASHBURN moved the family there in 1843, but Charles D.M. WASBURN was twenty-one years of age at that point. I do know Charles was a forty-niner, and was involved in the California gold rush, as his son once wrote, but I know no other California details. Charles and Mary Jane lived in Merrick county and Hall county, Nebraska. He was mayor of Grand Island, Nebraska 1878-1880. She divorced him, uncontested, 16 Nov 1882, Laramie, Wyoming. The couple was separated earlier, for on 28 April 1881, the Grand Island Times reports: "C.D.M. Washburne has sold out his property in this city, and will soon depart for Colorado. He will take his teams with him and proposes to work on railroad construction in Colorado, Montana, Idaho and Oregon.. his place will be a hard one to fill.. may he be successful in his new ventures." It seems certain that he didn't leave Grand Island, or if he did leave he came back to Grand Island. His wife Mary Jane moved to Laramie, Albany county, Wyoming in 1881 with the two kids; my grandmother Anna Rebecca WASHBURN, age 13 and Charles WASHBURN, age 8. Mary Jane later married W.J. HUNTER and D. CALLANAN in Laramie. In 1884 the Grand Island Independent reported Charles D.M. WASHBURN would start for Yellowstone country in April 1884. "We will miss him" which seems to indicate he was making a permanent move. Yellowstone country would be the Montana Yellowstone river basin which extends from the park northeasterly to North Dakota where the river joins the Missouri river. This is the route of a railroad under construction about that time. But there is evidence that if he did go to Yellowstone country, he must have returned to Grand Island. He continued to be listed in the annual city directory until 1887 and his livery and freight hauling business until 1891. In 1889 he bought Grand Island property (perhaps some kind of swap deal). The last record of him is in 1891 when he transferred land to the local bank (I dunno why; maybe a foreclosure). After that I have no evidence of him. So what happened to Charles D.M. WASHBURN? Where did he die? Where is he buried? I am pretty sure it was not at Grand Island, Nebraska. Using the "previous family" as a hunch, perhaps he went to be near a child of a previous marriage - could be New York, Wisconsin, California, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, or Oregon. Bear in mind that he was sixty-two years of age in 1884 and a single man. --- John Clement, 6940 E.

Thanks to Susan, I have been able to scratch an itch that has been bothering me for quite some time, ever since I came across Francis E. Washburn in my father's genealogy as the husband of his great aunt. I have managed to connect up this line with my husband's line thru Reuben Washburn Sr. and his second wife Betty Dilley. Thank you Susan and Mypawprints for the help and encouragement. This is fun! I feel the same way I feel now as when I put the last piece into the picture puzzle. If I want to firm this up, there are several things I need to confirm, but as it is not a main line, I think I'll let it ride. Thanks again! Leslie Quist

Brenton is incorrect. Bethuel Washburn NEVER had a son named Isaac. The Isaac Washburn found in the household of Dwight Washburn in 1850 is Isaac B. Washburn, the brother of his wife, Polly who was also born a Washburn. Susan Bingler Fairfax, VA
