I am not understanding what all these e-mails are about that are saying 'reg'. Can you kindly fill me in, as I am receiving between 10 and 15 a day from people I have never heard of and they all say the same thing...'reg' . PLEASE?

Does it mean register to the list? Linda Fitzmeyer

I'm just responding to all these emails I'm getting to reg????and list??? What does all this mean??

Hi folks, If I am reading all this correctly .... Someone wanted to "subscribe" to the list but did it wrong (reg.)? Not much going on on this list for awhile (usually very active) so someone sent "test" to make sure it was still working. People forget to change the "Subject" line so it all gets kinda weird.

Hi There! Would be glad to share with you what I have. I have The Washburns all the way back. Isaiah Sr died in Hadley MA 24 Feb 1839. I do not know when Patience died. I only have 3 children for Isaiah Sr. It is Isaiah, Susanna and Eliab. Let me know. Sue Abadie in California

Hi Susan. I'm not a descendant of Isaiah Washburn and Patience Perkins, but I did some research on that line for an aquaintance here in California who descends from Susan Washburn and George Hibbard, her husband, of Hadley. She is a lady who lives in Palo Alto, CA, and I helped her find proof of the parents of Isaiah Washburn. Susan Washburn was apparently a sister of your Isaiah Washburn. It appears that the Isaiah Washburn who married Martha Hibbard was the son of Isaiah Washburn and Patience Perkins. Both Isaiahs were living next door to each other in Georgia, VT, in the 1810 and 1820 censuses, and Isaiah Washburn, Sr., was a Revolutionary War pensioner, his service having been from Ashfield, MA, where he served a number of enlistments from April, 1775, to Dec. 1777. Regarding your offer, yes, if you have more information on Isaiah and Martha I'd like to pass on what you've found to the lady in Palo Alto. She is elderly, and does not have a computer, so she has no access to email or the internet. In return, I'll forward to you the file I have on Isaiah Washburn, Sr., and his parents that I gave to the descendant in Palo Alto. The file is in Word, and is only 4 pages long, fully footnoted. First, do you know where and when Isaiah Washburn, husband of Martha, died? In 1836 Isaiah Washburn, Sr., in his pension file, indicated that he had gone to Hadley to live with his "only child," Susan Hibbard, so we assume that Isaiah, Jr., had already died by 1836. Second, do you have a list of the children of Isaiah Washburn and Martha Hibbard? The only one I know about was Elias Hibbard Washburn. There were several Washburns in Georgia, VT, at the time that both Isaiah Washburn Sr. and Jr. were living there, but I haven't been able to figure out the relationships yet. I believe that some of them were sons of one of Isaiah Washburn, Sr.'s brothers, but not sure. Thanks for the information. John A.

Mr. Maltby, I did not read the first email I got from Rootsweb. My name is also Susan and I got confused. My husband decends from the Isaiah Washburn who lived in Georgia VT and died in Hadley MA. His line comes through the son Isaiah who married Martha Hibbard. The offer still stands. Sue in California

I there is any information that I might have that you might need please let me know. Susan C. Abadie Garden Grove, CA

Thank you, Susan. I agree with you regarding Samuel Washburn, husband of Diadama Wright. It appears that Isaiah and Patience were not his parents, and it appears more likely that his father was one of Isaiah's brothers. I appreciate very much your letting us know how this research is coming. This is a difficult branch to research. John A.
