Greetings!: Does anyone know of any living descendants of Ebenezer Washburn and Dorothy Newhall in the Hardwick, Mass. area? (Ebenezer 1734-1795...A2C4H in Brenton Washburn's "Washburn Family in America") How about living descendants of their son, Cyrus Washburn, and Rhoda Field in the Vernon, Vermont area? (Cyrus 1774-1860...A2C4H5 in "Washburn Family in America") When the weather clears I'll be heading to these two locales from Bridgewater, Mass., to visit these two gravesites, as well as that of my g, g, g-grandfather, Edwin Darwin Washburn. I'd welcome any relevant information about this line. Also welcome any comments, especially from unmet "cousins". Below is an excerpt from my cousin David A. Washburn's recent email to me, regarding family burial locations: "...Hardwick where ... Ebenezer and Dorothy (Newhall Washburn) graves.... Ebenezer and Dorothy's grave markers are there and were in good shape in 1968. Our Washburn roots go from Hardwick to Vernon, Vermont. Vernon is just across the Mass/Vermont line. The cemetery there is about ten miles south of the town of Vernon and is called the "Whited Cemetery." Our Edwin D. Washburn is buried there. Edwin is father of Percy (my g.fa. and Franklin Bryant (your g.g.gr.fa). F.B.1 married Elizabeth Clapp Moody, the sister of Dwight L. Moody. Moody's came from Northfield Ma. If you visit there, Edwin's grave marker is broken and the name doesn't show. I thought of getting a new stone but the fellow in Brattleboro wants about $600 ! His father (Cyrus - the doctor) is also buried there, as are many more close cousins." Sincerely, Ian Mackenzie Washburn (508)675-2252 [email protected] or [email protected]
