Some of the information on the Isaiah Washburn line is as follows Virgil S. White Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pensions [This is an abstract of the pension files at the National Archives - I also have a copy of the portion of the file] Isaiah Washburn born 1754 Middleborough, MA and lived there at enlistment soldier applied 7 May 1822 Bradford Co., PA resided in Windham Township and died there 6 Jan 1840 leaving children who in 1852 were Isaiah, Silas, Abiel Washburn - who was aged 64 in 1849 & Sally (Washburn) Hotchkiss From the VItal Records of Middleborough Published record vol. 1 p. 143 which is a transcript of p. 74 of the original records Isaiah Washburn son of Ruben Washburn by Betty his wife was born November 27th 1754 p. 144 Isaiah Washburn & Priscilla Wood were married 20 Jul 1775 Middleborough, MA [Priscilla was the daughter of Silas & Priscilla (Cobb) Wood As to the parents of Isaiah Washburn - Bridgewater vital records Ruben Washburn married Betty Dilley 11 May 1749 Bridgewater, MA Isaiah & Priscilla Washburn had 11 children tree Talks vol. 25 no. 1 March 1985 p. 39 [Cortland Co. p. 120 lists the administration of Isaiah Washburn's son Reuben [1777-1823] it also gives a list of all of Isaiah's children and gives some further information on Isaiah & Priscilla Abiel was in Homer, Corland Co., NY in the 1820 census having married between 1810-1820 there are 3 children in the family all under the age of 10 years - 2 boys and 1 girl. The process of hunting down ancestors in a process of collecting the trail they left behind - and so you get all vital records census records probate records land records military records obituaries cemetery records etc. Not only for your direct line but for their siblings. So my question to you would be where does the name Julia Ann Stewart as the wife of Reuben Washburn come from and how do you know they were married on 30 Dec 1838 - I would be interested in your source. Do you have a Bibile Record? Can I make the assumption that Francis Edwin Washburn is your direct relation? Susan Bingler Fairfax, VA

Thank you for the information. I have forwarded it to my sister in law, who has the records of my parents' research. The Washburn line is a collateral line of John Whaley. His daughter Laura Jane Whaley was my great grandmother and Florence Alberta Whaley who married Francis E. Washburn 18 Oct 1874, was her younger sister. There were three children of the marriage, Julia Ann Washburn b. 11 Aug 1878, Eva Lenore b. 20 Mar 1881 and Francis Earl b. 21 Nov 1889. I have lost track of this branch of the family, but perhaps I may recontact them thru the Whaley list. Again thanks for the information.
