    1. Re: Daniel Washburn-Whiting, Vermont (Addison County)

    3. Hello, I am a 6th Great-grand daughter of Abishai Washburn originally of Bridgewater MA, who died in Middlebury, Addison County VT on 14 September 1812. I did find a reference to Jerusha Foster in my records however not married to Daniel. She appears to have been the wife of a Benjamin Washburn and the mother of Betsey Washburn who married Jospeh Adams. Betsey and Joseph are buried in Middlebury, VT as per the book "Inscriptions copied from the gravestones in Middlebury, VT" published by Francis F. Spies in 1927 (This book is in the stacks at NEHGS, Boston). Betsey died in 1840 at age 52 and appears in town records as being born in Middlebury, VT May 19, 1784. If her parents, Jerusha and Benjamin, were about 29 or 30 at the time of her birth this would make them of the same generation as your Daniel. Now what is their relationship to him? Did Jerusha marry him after Benjamin's death? Where did you get your information about Jerusha and Daniel being husband and wife? I can place Jerusha Foster in Middlebury, where Abishai and his family lived and died. I can place her married into the Washburn family. I can tell you she had children at about the time Daniel would have had children. But that's about it I think. I'm very interested in any relationship she or Daniel may have had to Abishai. How do you think your Daniel is grand nephew of Abishai's (from which of his brother's -- he had 4). I also see the Daniel listed as son of Daniel & Experience, born March 15, 1755 in Bridgewater, but don't know how his father relates to Abishai. Both Daniel and Benjamin are fairly common Bridgewater Washburn names. Let me know what you come up with...
