--- Fifth Generation in
Families of the Children of
Mary4 Washburn and Thomas Perkins
Mary Washburn’s paternity is not a certainty, but it appears
that the family of Joseph and Hannah (Latham) Washburn is the only one to whom she
could belong, having eliminated her as a possible daughter of each of Joseph’s
brothers. The case if further strengthened by the frequent use of the name
Hephzibah in her family, after her purported older sister Hephzibah Washburn.
The two daughters and three sons of Mary Washburn remained in the Bridgewater
area, but a few of her grandchildren moved to Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine,
and Rhode Island, and a number of her descendants married descendants of other
branches of the Washburn family.
