Hello again, After a mid-course correction from John Maltby (thanks John) I have revised my original request. The information I am seeking is the name of Josiah's second wife ( ? ) mother of Nathan and the relationship of Hugh Washburn's son Zephaniah to Ma. and NY. Brenton Washburn's new book provides Zephaniah as Hugh's son, but I am confussed. Hugh according to information from John Maltby always lived in Ma. yet Zephaniah is listed as being born in NY? Can any of you cousins be of help? Thanks, John R. Washburn
