Fourth Generation in
Families of the Children
of James3 Washburn and Mary Bowden
The
grandchildren of James Washburn and Mary Bowden have not been well established and
were not well recorded in the town vital records, especially those of my own
line, the children of son James Washburn (Jr.) and Elizabeth Leonard, who are
only identified in the will of their grandfather, James Washburn. Also of difficulty
are the children of Sarah Washburn, wife of Henry Caswell, and identification
of any daughters who might belong to Moses Washburn and Hannah Cushman, and
Gideon Washburn and Mary Perkins.
