Hi Kate - No my Mahala married Hiram Shaw, they lived in Medina, Ohio and that is where Mahala is buried. God Bless Sue

I don't know anything further about Joseph Washburn son of Elisha Washburn Jr. I checked the online 1870 Michigan Census and did not see either Joseph or his wife listed. Though they both could have died and been buried I would think that odd since they really weren't that old. Have you tracked all of the children of Joseph Washburn to see where they went? Possibly Joseph or his widow went to live with a child in later life. Wish I could be of more help and I will keep my eyes open for this information Susan Bingler Fairfax, VA

I have that this Ruth first married Benjamin Washburn, and married second Zachariah Field. Could someone please tell me when Benjamin Washburn was born, died and when they got married. Also, did they have any children? Secondly, when was Zachariah Field born, and when did he die? Who were their children? Finally, where is Ruth buried at? Thank you! Anne Miller

Did Mahala marry a Nathaniel Woodward? Kate Mooers 508 Eagle's Ridge Rd Brewster, NY 10509

Hi all, My gg grandfather was James A. Washburn born in Ellisburg, NY in 1827. His parents were Bethuel Washburn and Eunice Gifford. Both of James' parents died when James was a small boy. The next I can pick James up is 1857 when he married Catherine Davis in Portland Township, WI. From an account written by a great aunt (James' granddaughter) he came to Wisconsin with his brothers at some time. Is anyone else out there descended from this family? I'd like to find out what happened to James between when his parents died in 1832 and when he showed up for his wedding in 1857. Thanks for the help. Marc Chambers Virginia Beach, VA

Hi Kate- I see you have Washburn's from VT. Would you happen to have a Mahala Washburn born approx. 1801? I can trace her line to present day, but have hit a brick wall trying to find her parents. God Bless Sue

Im looking for the descendants of Joseph Washburn and his wives 1st Ruth Wetmore and 2) Patience Chipman in Vermont have more details willing to share! Kate Mooers

Susan: Your posting was very interesting to me. I had been looking for info for Elisha Washburn, Sr & Jr. What I have agrees with your findings, but you have more details. Thank you. Do you have any information on Joseph Washburn the son of Elisha, Jr & Hannah Clark Washburn? He was my G-Great grandfather and I am trying to prove the link back to Elisha, Sr who served in the Revolutionary War. ( I have copies of the Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors records for him, too). The following is what I have for Joseph Washburn: Child of Elisha Washburn and Hannah Clark is: Joseph Washburn, b. December 01, 1809, Moretown Twp, Washington, Vermont He married Sarah Austice, She was born 1816 in New York. 1837 One of their children, William E. Washburn b.May 14, 1837 Yates Orleans Co.NY. d. February 4,1925 Onondaga, MI. was my Great Grandfather. His Death Certificate lists Joseph & Sarah Washburn as his parents. 1850 Fed Census for Michigan (Wayne Co.), lists Joseph & Sarah & 4 children. 1860 Fed Census for Michigan(Calhoun Co. Marengo Twp.) lists Joseph & Sarah and their 3 children. (By this time William had married and left home) This 1860 is the last clue I have as to his residence. Presume he died in Michigan, but don't know where or when) Will appreciate any help. Hope this is not too confusing or complicated. June W. Wilkinson

Sometimes The information listed in the town records is inaccurate. That someone was born or died is probable, but the name listed is incorrect. Such is the case in the Vermont Vital Record Index which lists Hannah Washburn died 28 Nov 1815 Middlebury wife of Alisha Washburn The only problem is that Hannah did not die then. She not only was alive in ALL of 1815, but was still living at the time the 1860 census was taken. Let's start the story at the very beginning Elisha Washburn was born 14 Jul 1741 in Bridgewater, Plymouth Co., MA, the son of William Washburn & Rebecca Curtis [Bridgewater Vital records] his marriage to Charity SNELL was recorded in the East Bridgewather Vital records as ____1763 [intention not recorded] About 1770 William Washburn and his wife Rebecca along with several other family members, which include Elisha Washburn and his wife Charity, move to Erving in Western Massachusetts. Elisha Washburn enlisted for service in the Revolutionary War from Ervingshire [see Massachusetts Soldiers & Sailors in the Revolution vol. 16 p. 662-3] Erving[shire] is the parent town of Wendell, MA. Wendell was established in 1781. The Vital Records of Wendall record William Washburn died 27 Jan 1788 [p.261] Widow Rebecca Washburn died 14 Mar 1796 [p.263] Charity Washburn wife of Elisha Washburn died 30 Dec 1797 [p. 263] Elisha Washburn [Sr] had a son Elisha Washburn Jr. who was probably born about 1773 in Erving, MA Elisha Jr. married 1796/7 to Hannah CLARK intention recorded 26 Oct 1796 Wendell, MA marriage verified but exact date not given [before 30 Apr 1797] After the death of Elisha Washburn Sr. first wife he remarried to the widow - Ruth Tyrer "Marriage the 30th Apr 1799 to the 30 Apr 1800 Mr Elisha Washburn with Mrs Ruth Tyrer of Wendell" In 1800 Elisha resided in MA in 1810 Elisha Washburn Jr. resided in Moretown, Chittenden Co., VT He then moves to Burlington, VT where he remains until his death Vermont Vital Records Index records Elisha Washburn [jr.] died 11 Jan 1841 Burlington, VT the problem comes with the Entry Hannah Washburn died 28 Nov 1815 Middlebury wife of Alisha Washburn No she did not! There is a hash mark representation for a wife for Elisha Jr in the 1810-1840 census, but as you know a hatch mark does not identify a name or relation, it just represents a person of a certain sex and age range. However the 1850 and 1860 census shows the Widow Hannah Washburn residing in the household of her daughter Thankful Washburn who had married John KIRBY. Reports of Hannah's death in 1815 were largely exaggerated! Hannah was quite alive as much as 45 years later. So what are we to make of the index entry taken from the town records? Someone died, I suspect it was Ruth, the wife of Elisha Sr rather than Hannah, the wife of Elisha Jr. To begin with Elisha Washburn Sr died 14 Sep 1812 age 92 years at Middlebury, VT 1. Elisha Jr. never lived in Middlebury, VT It would make sense that the woman who died in Middlebury would be the Wife of Elisha Sr. not the Wife of Elisha Jr. 2. In the Vital record Index for Vermont the only Elisha being recorded at Alisha is Elisha Sr., So if Alisha's wife died they are probably referring to Sr. 3. Census records show that Hannah the wife of Elisha Jr. was still living 4. No reference is found to any other date for the death of Ruth, wife of Elisha Sr. Further proof can be found if cemeteries are searched. Who is buried next to each of the Elisha's and what is their date of death? If this information is available it will verify who died when. Susan Bingler Fairfax, VA

Now I do know that this list is serious, but I can't help but put my two cents in. Maybe those of us in Florida can Vote on it!!!!!

Dear Members, This has been quite enough! This list is for genealogy, not for this kind of banter that has been going on. You all received a welcome letter when you signed up for this list so you DO know the rules and guidelines. There is NO need for "tests" in this list, nor any replies to any -- the list works. If you have a question about the list send it to me at MY address. I am a real person and I own this list. I have been running genealogy and other lists and forums longer than many of you have had computers. I assure you that this list DOES work. No need for any of you to "test" it. You too are real persons capable of following a few simple rules and guidelines. If they apply today they apply tomorrow and the day after even though I may not open mail from this list for some days. I don't feel I should have to babysit it and send these strong reminders but I will if necessary. Any more problems, send email to me not the list. DO NOT reply to this email in the list and there will be no more discussion of this topic in the list.

It looks like the "reg" problem may have to go to the Supreme Court. Mac

Only from watching, but I believe the ones that say "test" or "testing" are requesting a reply from all list subscribers so they know the list is still being sent and displayed. I also can't figure out what "reg" means, but I can tell you it has sure stirred up a lot of questions! Someone suggested to me that someone else was trying to "reg"ister to the list!?!?!?! ----- Original Message ----- From: <Thegrannyiam@aol.com> To: <WASHBURN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2000 11:15 PM Subject: Re: to reg. > In a message dated 11/30/00 7:32:23 PM Pacific Standard Time, > mwpowell@pnx.com writes: > I'm new at this, what does this mean, I have recieved several e-mails with > this reg message, as well as some that have only said 'test'.
