Families of the Children of Samuel4 Washburn (Jr.) and Abigail3 Leonard

 

 

         The children of Samuel Washburn and Abigail Leonard settled either in Stafford, Connecticut Colony, or in Bridgewater, Massachusetts Colony, but some of the grandchildren spread into western Massachusetts and northern Vermont. The names of several of the wives are still unknown at this point, and some of the grandchildren are untraced. Thank you to Susan L. Bingler, CGS, for some of the information on this branch of the family. There is still a lot of research needed on this branch, and this family will be added to as more information is uncovered.

(405.) David5 Washburn, eldest son of (122) Samuel4 Washburn (Jr.), (58) Samuel3, (43) John2 (5th), (28) John1 (4th); born in Bridgewater, Massachusetts Colony, on 30 Apr. 1704,[1] probably moved to Stafford, Tolland Co., Connecticut Colony, with his parents about 1735, and married 1.) Elizabeth (___) in ca. 1748.[2] She died on 14 May 1759 in Stafford,[3] and he remarried to 2.) Dorothy (___) in ca. 1764.[4] They lived in Stafford, CT.

         In March 1732/3 Nicholas Sever, Esq., of Kingston, sued David Washburn of Bridgwater, blacksmith, over a £5.10s debt.[5] David Washburn was not listed as having taken the oath of fidelity in Stafford, CT, from 1777 to 1796, and he was not listed as a head of household in Connecticut in the 1790 or 1800 federal census, nor was there a death record for David Washburn in the Stafford town records.

         David Washburn had 5 children by Elizabeth, and 2 more children by Dorothy:

+      1135     i   Elizabeth6 Washburn, born on 22 Apr. 1749 in Stafford, CT,[6] possibly the Elizabeth Washburn who married Daniel Shattuck, of Templeton, Worcester Co., MA, son of Ephraim and Elizabeth (Jackson) Shattuck,[7] in 1778,[8] and supposedly lived in Phillipston, Worcester Co., MA. (To be continued in Washburn Generation 6.)

        1139     v   Lydia Washburn, born on 8 Jan. 1755 in Stafford,[17] probably the Lydia Washburn who died on 19 July 1755 in Stafford.[18]

        1140    vi   David Washburn (Jr.), born on 22 Aug. 1765 in Stafford,[19] marriage not found. He was not found in Connecticut, Vermont, or New York in the 1800 federal census.

        1141   vii   Abigail Washburn, born on 29 Jan. 1770 in Stafford,[20] marriage not found.

        1143     ii   (Unnamed child), died in 1745 in Bridgewater.[29]

+      1144   iii   Joseph Bolton (Jr.), born, say ca. 1748, probably in Bridgewater, married Mary Bolton, probably his cousin, daughter of John “Jr.” and Eliza­beth (Hayward) Bolton,[30] on 27 Apr. 1773 in Bridgewater,[31] and they lived in Bridgewater. (To be continued in Washburn Generation 6.)

        1145    iv   Philip Bolton, born ca. 1750,[32] probably in Bridgewater.

Howard petitioned that Philip Bolton was “non compos mentis,” and needed a guardian.[44] Philip Bolton died intes­tate in 1823 in Bridgewater, and Solomon Perkins was granted administration of his estate on 17 Feb. 1823, which was insolvent.[45] No death record was found for Bethiah (Hayward) Bolton in Bridgewater, but a Bethiah Bolton died testate in 1848 in Middleborough, naming Oliver H. Alden as executor of her will.[46]
