Third Generation in America
---
The grandchildren of John Washburn of
Plymouth Colony continued primarily in Bridgewater,
with some moving to Plympton, Taunton and Easton, Massachusetts,
and others to Little Compton, Plymouth, and Kingston, Massachusetts.
The great-grandchildren of John Washburn, however, began to spread out far from
the original Plymouth Colony area.

James Latham, of Bridgewater,
which was “my father Latham’s right in said purchase.”
On 3 Aug. 1714 Joseph Washborn, Sr., of Bridgewater,
deeded his rights in a tract of land in the Titicut Purchase, part of which he
had received from “my Father In Law Robert Lathums Deceased,” to his son Joseph
Washborn.
On 2 July 1717 Joseph Washburn, blacksmith, of Bridgewater,
deeded land to his son Joseph Washburn, Jr., in East

married Thomas Perkins, son of David and Elizabeth (Brown) Perkins,
on 20 Feb. 1716/17 in Bridgewater,
and they lived in Bridgewater.
This Mary Washburn was placed in Joseph Washburn’s family out of the process of
elimination,
and because of the naming of a daughter “Hephzibah”
Perkins, a name commonly found in Joseph Washburn's branch of the family.
(Continued in Plymouth Generation
4.)
+ 133 vii Ebenezer4 Washburn, born in ca. 1693 in

In June 1705
Jonathan Washbourn appeared before the Plymouth County Court to answer for “his

and fined 20 shillings, plus court costs, and was ordered to “stand bound with
suretyes for the peace and his good behaviour” until the next court term.
Jonathan
Washburn died intestate in ca. Jan. 1726 in Bridgewater
or Taunton. His
son, Benjamin Washburn, of Bridgewater, was granted administration of his

Bridgewater,
married Martha Kingman, daughter of Henry and Bethiah (Howard) Kingman,
on 6 Aug. 1729 in Bridgewater,

+ 142 iv Ebenezer4 Washburn, born on
23 Feb. 1690 in Bridgewater,
never married, died intestate on 10 Oct. 1727 in Bridgewater.
Benjamin Washburn was granted administration of the estate of his brother, Ebenezer
Washburn, on 3 Apr. 1728, with Ebenezer Byram and Amos Snell as sureties, which
was settled upon Benjamin Washburn, who was to pay his brothers and sisters for
their shares, namely Josiah Washburn, Elisabeth Benson, wife of John Benson,
Cornelius Washburn, Martha Washburn, and Joanna Washburn.
[Note that Ebenezer and Benjamin Washburn’s brothers Nathan and Jonathan
Washburn (Jr.) were not listed among those in the division. Nathan was possibly
dead, but Jonathan (Jr.) was still living. There could have also, therefore,
been a sister, Mary, who married Daniel Shepardson, who was not listed in the
division.]
+ 143 v Martha4 Washburn, born on 27 Feb. 1692 in
Bridgewater,
married Edward Martin, son of Ephraim and Thankful (Bullock) Martin, of
Rehoboth, MA, as his second wife,

were found for him in Plymouth
County.

in ca. 1727,
and they also lived in Bridgewater.
(Continued in Plymouth
Generation 4.)
+ 149 xi Mary4 Washburn, born say 1704 in Bridgewater or Taunton.
Although she was not listed among the heirs of Ebenezer Washburn, in 1728, she
is thought to have been a daughter of Jonathan and Mary Washburn because she
was called “of Taunton” at the time of her marriage to Daniel Shepardson,
because her mother, Mary (Vaughan) Washburn, was living in Taunton in 1727, and
because by the process of elimination she doesn’t fit into the families of any
of the other Washburns. Mary Washburn married Daniel Shepardson, son of John
and Elizabeth (Fuller) Shepardson,
of Attleborough, Bristol Co., MA, as his second wife, on 9 May 1728 in Norton, MA,
and they lived in Attleborough,
MA. (Continued in Plymouth Generation 4.)

He was born on 6 Aug. 1662 in Braintree, MA,
a grandson of Elder Stephen1 Kingsley, of Braintree,

James Washburne, Edward Seele, Samuel Kinsley, William Orcutt, and Sarah
Washburne, all of Bridgewater, sold a parcel of
25 acres of land to Samuel Washburne, of Bridgewater,

distribution of his father's estate in 1722, married Mary Packard[?] in ca.
1714,
and they lived in Easton, MA,

In July 1727 Anah Washburn of Bridgwater, “Singlewoman” was presented in court

Amory, possibly by her third husband, Daniel Eaton, in ca. 1682.
They lived in Little Compton, Bristol Co., MA, in what became part of Rhode Island in 1747.
Joseph Amory

of wedlock. His mother, Rebecca Amory, married first to Robert Weymouth, of Kittery, ME,
in ca. 1653. He died in ca. 1661, and Rebecca remarried to Thomas Sadler, of Kittery,
of whom she was suspected of having had an affair in 1659, but Thomas Sadler
abandoned her before July 1663, and Rebecca (Amory) (Weymouth) Sadler remarried
again to Daniel Eaton, of Little Compton, in ca. 1681. Daniel Eaton certainly
married Rebecca after Joseph Amory was born, and in his will, dated 29 Apr. 1704, Daniel Eaton,
of Little Compton, named his wife, Rebeccah, and gave bequests to Patience
Emery, Rebecah Emery and Daniel Emery, without stating a relationship.

and Hannah2
(Fisher) Briggs (Jr.),

She was born ca. 1677, probably in Marshfield, Plymouth Colony,
a granddaughter of Francis2 and Christian1 (Penn) (Eaton) Billington,
and of James and Mary (Pontus) Glass,
and a great-granddaughter of John1 and Eleanor1 Billington, who came to New England in 1620 aboard the “Mayflower.”
They settled first in Plymouth, MA, on property inherited from his grandfather, John
Irish, then moved to Kingston,
MA, in ca. 1704, where he was
chosen as a deacon of the church.
In September
1704 John Washborne, of Plymouth, Joseph Emmory
and wife Elizabeth, of Little Compton, Josiah Leonard and wife Margory, of
Bridgwater, and Mary Washborne, of Plymouth,
sued Israel Dilleno, of Duxboro, for trespass and ejectment from land that was
“settled on plaintiffs in right of their mother Elizabeth Washborne” and won
the case.
On 8 Dec.
1708 John Washburn, of Plymouth, sold to Samuel Bradford, of Duxbury, 20 acres
of land in Duxbury “upon which my honoured grandfather John Irish, deceased,
formerly dwelt being near Duxborough Mill and commonly known by the name of
Irish’s Orchard.”
Lydia (Billington) Washburn died in childbirth
on 23 Sept. 1716 in Plymouth,
and Deacon John Washburn remarried to 2.) Wybra/Wiborah3 Bumpus, daughter
of Joseph2
and Wybra/Wiborah (Glass) Bumpus, of Plymouth,
in ca. 1717.
She was born on 15 May 1672 in Plymouth,
a granddaughter of Edward1 and Hannah Bumpus/Bompasse, who came to Plymouth Colony
in 1621 aboard the “Fortune,”
and of James and Mary2
(Pontus) Glass, of Plymouth.
She died on 6 Feb. 1743/4 in Kingston,
aged 71 years,
and he remarried again to 3.) Mehitabel (Barrow) Wright, daughter of Robert and
Ruth (Bonham) Barrow, of Plymouth,
and widow of Adam3
Wright, of Plympton,
on 13 Dec. 1744 in Kingston,
MA.
Lydia
(Billington) Washburn’s brother Seth Billington, of Middleborough, died unmarried
and intestate in 1718, and his estate was settled upon Samuel Warren, who had
married his sister, Eleanor Billington, with Samuel Warren to pay the other
heirs of Seth Billington for their shares of the estate, namely Isaac
Billington, Desire Bonney, the children of Lydia Washburn, deceased, and Mary
Wood.
On 22 Sept. 1721 Francis Adams, of Plymouth, clothier, was appointed as
guardian of the 7 children of John and Lydia (Billington) Washburn, namely
Ichabod, Elisha, Ephraim, Barnabas, Jabez, Ebenezer, and Thankfull Washburn,
with John Washburn, of Plymouth, as surety, in order to receive their inheritance
in Seth Billington’s estate from Samuel Warren.
Deacon John Washburn was still living as proven by the several deeds of land in
Kingston he
made to his sons Ephraim and Barnabas. They, in turn, agreed to lease the
homestead back to their father for his natural life.
In 1721 John
Washburn and Jacob Mitchell, of Plymouth,
petitioned that a road by laid out “to the mills and Meeting at Jones River.”
The court ordered the road be surveyed, but in Dec. 1721 and in Mar. 1722
Washburn and Mitchell were in court complaining that no committee had been
appointed to do the work, and so a committee was duly appointed and presumably
the work was done in late 1722.
Deacon John
Washburn died probably on 17
June 1750 in Kingston,
aged 78 years,
but no probate records were found for him. Mehitabel (Barrow) (Wright) Washburn
died intestate in 1754 in Kingston,
and her son, Samuel Wright was granted administration of her estate.
