    1. another Middleborough? Washburn
    2. Am new to this list and wondering if anyone has seen my Manassah Washburn. His Revolutionary War service was from Middleborough and his marriage intent 25 Jan 1789 to Sylvia Caswell was there. He m Sylvia Caswell of Rochester in that town 23 April 1789. They must have gone to Maine fairly soon after their marriage as their son Ephraim was born in Poland, ME on 1 Oct 1789. There were several Washburn family groups in the area at the time and they were defintely not all brothers. There is no record that I can find in the VR of Middleborough or Rochester of his birth. Ephraim and Egloth (Stetson) looked like possible parents, but he is not listed among their children in the Stetson Genealogy. It is possible he is the son of their son Ephraim, but no proof has been found. This Ephraim is the right age ( b1741) but have been unable to locate his marriage or children. Another suggestion , in the Annals of Oxford County, is that he is the grandson of Ephraim and Mary (Polen) Washburn, the son of Ephraim, Jr. At least two of of Ephraim and Mary's children were in the general area. Does anyone have help or suggestions?
