Hello Everyone...and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!! Monday 22 December 1997 I wish to thank Charles E. Washburn, Jr. for his posting in clarifying who we both are in conjunction of Brenton Washburn's book "Washburn Family in America." As he has described, I am the one who was posting Brenton's two volume book. I have telephoned Brenton this morning...and any confusion out there has been repaired....Thanks everyone! Charles E. Washburn, Jr., has a wonderful family web page that he has presented...extending from the first John Washburn... http://home.earthlink.net/~cwashburn/queries.html If you haven't seen it...I request that you do....he has done a wonderful job with it!! For those who have purchased Brenton's book....he sends his "personal" graditude and thanks to you. He is a very generous man and goes that extra mile....especially in his Washburn research. He has been a personal friend of mine for many years....and he will answer any and all of his correspondence. Again, I wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!!... Your Cousin, Chuck Washburn <[email protected]>
