    1. Re: WASHBURN family in Massachusetts
    2. I am looking for MANASSAH WASHBURN reputedly from Middleborough. Have you run into that name at all? Here is what I know about him: "Manassah Washburn was 'of Middleborough' (MA) when he was published to marry Sylvia Caswell, "of Rochester" (MA) in 1789, and King states that they purchased land in Hebron, ME, in 1801. At the time Hebron was part of Cumberland Co., later part of Oxford Co., and now is part of Hancock Co., ME, so looking for land records may be a challenge. Manassah was listed in the 1800 Federal census in Cumberland Co., ME, but was apparently missed in the 1810 census. In the 1820 Federal census he was in Hebron, Oxford Co. He died by 1824, and his widow, Sylvia, remarried to Lt. Nathan Dudley, son of Ebenezer Dudley, as his second wife, on 12 June 1824 in Oxford, ME. Lt. Nathan Dudley died on 19 Feb. 1838, and Sylvia (Caswell) (Washburn) Dudley died on 14 Mar. 1841. Manassah and Sylvia Washburn had 11 children:" Manassah's daughter Elizabeth (recorded as Bettye, or Betsey) was my ggggranmdmother. She married GILES PERKINS in Oxford County Maine (probably Poland) in 1824. My mother was a Perkins. Several of us are looking for Manassah but can't hook him up with the right WASHBURN clan from Middleborough. Any chance here? Thank you for your help Alice
