Fourth Generation in
Families of the Children of John3 Washburn (Jr.) and Sarah3 Cornell
John Washburn (Jr.) and Sarah Cornell had only two children who left descendants—daughter Susanna married Samuel Conklin, and son John married first to Hannah Hallett and secondly to Hannah Thorneycraft, as proven by wills. However the children of John Washburn (3rd) by his two wives have been extremely difficult to document and prove. Washburn researchers of this line owe a great deal of gratitude to Elaine Olney for the excellent work she has done. This is a work in progress, and will be subject to revision as new material is uncovered.

Susanna4 Washburn, eldest daughter of (89) John3 Washburn (Jr.), (49) John2, (30) William1; born probably in Hempstead, Long Island, in 1680,[1] married Samuel3 Conklin, son of Jacob2 and Mary (Youngs) Conklin,[2] in ca. 1702.[3] He was born ca. 1675 in Southold, Long Island,[4] a grandson of John1 and Elizabeth (Allseabrook) Conklin,[5] of Southold and Huntington, Long Island, and of Joseph and Margaret (Warren) Youngs.[6] Jacob Conklin died on 19 Oct. 1716 in Southold.[7]

840 ii Samuel4 Conklin (Jr.), born ca. 1705 in Southold, Suffolk Co., NY,[77] married 1.) Mary Crook on 20 Dec. 1733 in Southold.[78] She died, however, on 3 Oct. 1734 in Southold,[79] and he remarried to 2.) Mary Allice or Allison, supposedly daughter of William and Abigail (Scudder) Allison,[80] on 17 June 1736 in Southold.[81] Samuel Conklin (Jr.) died on 25 May 1774 in Chester, Orange Co., NY, or Southold, Suffolk Co., NY,[82] and Mary (Allison) Conklin supposedly died in 1775.[83] He supposedly had one daughter by Mary Crook, and 4 more children by Mary Allison:
a. Mary5 Conklin, born in 1733 in Southold, Suffolk Co., NY,[84] married Grant Bradley, son of Jonathan and Mary (Booth) Bradley,[85] on 14 Feb. 1754 in Southold.[86] He died by 1785, and she died a widow on 5 May 1785 in Southold,[87] and was buried in Hashamomack Cemetery, Southold, Suffolk Co., NY.[88]

c. Catherine Conklin, born ca. 1744 in Southold, married Joshua Terry on 29 Mar. 1781 in Southold.[94] He was possibly the Joshua Terry who drowned on 25 Jan. 1791 in Southold.[95]
d. Samuel5 Conklin (3rd), born ca. 1750 in Southold, supposedly married (___) Barton, and also moved to Orange Co., NY.[96] He was probably still living in Orange Co., NY, in the 1800 federal census.[97]

a. Joseph5 Luther Conklin, born on 3 Feb. 1751 in Southold, Suffolk Co., NY,[104] married Esther Halsey on 1 Apr. 1782 in Blooming Grove, Orange Co., NY.[105]
b. (Probably others)
842 iv Lucretia4 Conklin, born ca. 1710 in Southold, married John Paine or Payne, supposedly son of John and Jemima (Alsop) Paine,[106] on 13 Apr. 1732 in Southold.[107] Children not found.
843 v Sarah4 Conklin, born ca. 1712 or 1709 in Southold,[108] married Nathan Benjamin, son of Richard and Elizabeth “Eliza” (Terry) Benjamin,[109] as his second wife, on 11 Jan. 1736/7 in Southold.[110] He was born in 1700 in Southold,[111] and had married first to Deborah Clark on 11 Aug. 1726 in Southold,[112] by whom he had a son Nathan Benjamin (Jr.), and a daughter Elizabeth, but she had died on 29 Mar. 1736 in Southold, probably in childbirth.[113] Richard Benjamin died in 1730 in Southold, aged 85 years.[114] Sarah (Conklin) Benjamin died before 1763, and Nathan Benjamin died testate in 1763 in Southold, Suffolk Co., NY,[115] his will dated 28 June 1763, and probated on 11 July 1763, mentioned his eldest son Nathan Benjamin, his second and third sons Samuel Benjamin and Benjamin Benjamin, his eldest daughter Elizabeth Corwin, his youngest daughters Sarah Benjamin and Mary Benjamin, both under 18, and his fourth son Joshua Benjamin, under 21, and he named Joshua Wells and his two sons Samuel Benjamin and Benjamin Benjamin as executors of his estate.[116] (See Appendix [B] for a full transcription of his will.) Sarah Conklin and Nathan Benjamin had children,[117] order uncertain:
a. (Unnamed child), died in infancy on 1 Apr. 1738 in Southold.[118]
b. Samuel Benjamin, born say ca. 1740 in Southold, was called “second son” in his father’s 1763 will, and was named as a co-executor of his father’s estate.
c. Benjamin Benjamin, born say ca. 1742 in Southold, was called “third son” in his father’s 1763 will and was already over 21 years of age in 1763, married Hannah Jessop on 17 Nov. 1768 in Southold, NY.[119] He supposedly died in 1830.[120]
d. Mary Benjamin, born say ca. 1746 in Southold, was still under the age of 18 when her father wrote his will in 1763, supposedly married Silas Howell, son of Israel and Hannah (Smith) Howell,[121] in Oct. 1763 in Baiting Hollow, Suffolk Co., NY.[122] He served in the Revolutionary War, and supposedly died in 1792.[123]
e. Maj. Joshua Benjamin, born say ca. 1747 in Southold, married Hannah Wells on 6 Apr. 1769 in Southold, NY.[124] She was born ca. 1751. He died on 14 Dec. 1804 in Southold,[125] aged 67 [sic] years, and was buried in the Old Burying Ground at Cutchogue, Suffolk Co., NY.[126] She died on 21 Dec. 1809 in Cutchogue, Suffolk Co., NY.[127]

g. Joseph Benjamin, born in 1748 in Southold,[130] died on 10 Mar. 1755 in Southold, aged 7 years.[131]
844 vi Mary4 Conklin, born ca. 1713 in Southold, Suffolk Co., NY,[132] married Joshua4 Salmon, son of William3 and Hannah (Bailey) Salmon,[133] on 16 June 1737 in Southold.[134] He was born on 7 May 1712 in Southold, a grandson of John and Sarah (Barnes) Salmon, of Southold,[135] and of Stephen and Abigail (Cooper) Bailey. The will of William Salmon, of Southold, dated 29 Apr. 1759, and probated on 14 May 1759, mentioned his eldest son Joshua Salmon, among others.[136] Joshua Salmon evidently took over the recording of Southold deaths and marriages after his father died in 1759, because on 9 Feb. 1769 he recorded the death of “Father Samll Conkling, 93,”[137] and in May 1774 he recorded the death of “Brother Samuel Conkling.”[138] Mary (Conklin) Salmon died on 30 May 1780 in Southold, NY, aged 63 years, 10 months, 11 days,[139] and Joshua Salmon remarried to Mary (Hudson) Reeve, widow of James Reeve,[140] on 14 Oct. 1783 in Southold.[141] She died on 8 Dec. 1784 in Southold,[142] and he remarried again to Jane Haines Otis, daughter of Solomon and Jane (Turner) Otis,[143] on 12 May 1787 in Southold.[144] He supposedly died on 17 Aug. 1812 in Southold,[145] but no probate records were found for him. Mary (Conklin) Salmon had children:[146]
a. William Salmon, born ca. 1738 in Southold, died on 19 June 1806 in South Carolina.[147]
b. Jonathan Salmon, born ca. 1742 in Southold, married Anne Horton on 30 Nov. 1775 in Southold.[148] He died on 25 Feb. 1791 in Southold,[149] and she died a widow on 24 Mar. 1796 in Goshen, NY.[150]
c. Mary Salmon, born ca. 1744 in Southold, married Joshua Reeve, son of Benjamin and Deliverance (Wells) Reeve, as his second wife, on 28 Mar. 1781 in Southold.[151] He was born in 1728 in Southold, and had married first to Mary Jennings on 15 Nov. 1759 in Southold.[152] He died on 13 Apr. 1784 in Southold,[153] and Mary (Salmon) Reeve supposedly died on 16 Oct. 1819 in Southold.[154]
d. Hannah Salmon, born on ca. 31 Jan. 1746 in Southold,[155] married Zaccheus/Zacharias Case, son of Daniel and Elizabeth (Wells) Case, on 14 Nov. 1780 in Southold.[156] He was born on 15 Nov. 1740 in Southold.[157] They moved to Goshen, Orange Co., NY. He died on 9 Jan. 1822 in Goshen, Orange Co., NY, aged 81 years, 1 month, 24 days,[158] and she died on 12 Sept. 1823 in Goshen, NY, aged 77 years, 7 months, 12 days.[159]
e. Joshua Salmon (Jr.), born ca. 1748 in Southold, married Prudence Case, daughter of Mitchell and Annie (Brown) Case,[160] on 31 Aug. 1769 in Southold.[161] She was born on 1 Aug. 1751 in Washington Co., RI.[162]
f. Gideon Salmon, born ca. 1750 in Southold,[163] marriage not found. He died on 11 Jan. 1815 in Southold.[164]
845 vii (Unnamed son), born and died in 1716 in Southold.[165]
846 viii Abigail Conklin, born ca. 1718 in Southold, marriage not found. She was apparently not the Abigail Julia Conklin who married Col. Benjamin Tusten, son of Thomas and Abigail Tusten,[166] as his second wife, on 20 Mar. 1740 in Southold.[167]
(276.)
John4 Washburn (3rd), only son of (89) John3 Washburn (Jr.), (49) John2, (30) William1; born probably in
Hempstead,
Hannah (Hallett) Washburn died before 7 Oct. 1716, when her father made his will, and John Washburn (3rd) had remarried to 2.) Hannah Thorneycraft, daughter of William and Hannah (Carpenter) Thorneycraft, of Oyster Bay, Queens Co., NY, by early 1720. Supposedly the will of William Thorneycraft, of Oyster Bay, dated in Mar. 1719/20, mentioned his daughter Hannah Washburn.[172] He may have moved eventually to North Castle, Westchester Co., NY, but I have not found the date or place of his death, and he left no probate records in New York, which makes positive identification of his children difficult.
John Washburn (3rd) had children, supposedly about 8 by Hannah Hallett, and possibly 6 more by Hannah Thorneycraft, order uncertain:[173]
847 i Silas Washburn, born in 1706,[174] probably in Hempstead, NY, probably died young, because the name was apparently given to another son born in 1733.
848 ii Sarah Washburn,[175] born say ca. 1707 in Hempstead, NY, probably died young, not mentioned in the 1716 will of her grandfather, Samuel Hallett.
+ 849 iii Samuel5 Washburn, born say ca. 1709 in Hempstead, NY, baptized on 9 Jan. 1729/30 in the Episcopal Church in Newtown, Queens Co., NY,[176] married Abigail4 Moore, daughter of Joseph3 and Elizabeth (Sackett) Moore, of Newtown, Long Island,[177] in say ca. 1736. (To be continued in Washburn Fifth Generation.)
850 iv Hannah5 Washburn, born say ca. 1711 in Hempstead, NY, mentioned in the 1716 will of her grandfather, Samuel Hallett, married John Searles or Sarles, of Rye, Westchester Co., NY, before 1737, when she signed a receipt for her legacy from the estate of Samuel Hallett.[178] Children not found.
+ 851 v Isaac5 Washburn, born on 26 Dec. 1712 in Hempstead, NY,[179] married 1.) Mehitabel (___), and 2.) Hannah Lovejoy on 20 July 1760,[180] and 3.) Mary Moore in July 1770.[181] (To be continued in Washburn Fifth Generation.)
+ 852 vi Joseph5 Washburn, born on 11 Oct. 1713 in Hempstead, NY,[182] married Rosannah Dickinson, daughter of Joseph and Hannah Dickinson,[183] in ca. 1746. (To be continued in Washburn Fifth Generation.)
853 vii Mary Washburn, born say ca. 1715 in Hempstead, NY,[184] possibly died young, not mentioned in the 1716 will of her supposed grandfather, Samuel Hallett.
854 viii Daniel Washburn, born say ca. 1717 in Hempstead, NY,[185] marriage not found.
+ 855 ix Richard5 Washburn, born on 27 June 1720 in Hempstead or Flushing, NY,[186] married Amy Birdsall, probably daughter of Daniel and Johanna (Hawxhurst) Birdsall, in 1748.[187] (To be continued in Washburn Fifth Generation.)
856 x (Possibly) Phylena Washburn, born say ca. 1722 in Hempstead, NY,[188] marriage not found.
857 xi (Possibly) John Washburn (4th), born say ca. 1724 in Hempstead or Westchester Co., NY,[189] marriage not found.
858 xii (Possibly) Jesse5 Washburn, born say ca. 1726 in Hempstead or Westchester Co., NY,[190] marriage not found. In 1759 Jesse Washbourne of Newtown, Sussex Co., “in the East New Jerseys,” yeoman, filed a suit against Joseph Harris of Halifax, Plymouth Co., Mass., husbandman, over trespass, in the Plymouth County Court of Common Pleas, but the case was dismissed because neither party showed up in court in April 1759.[191] If the Jesse Washburn of Sussex Co., NJ, in 1759 is the Jesse Washburn who was born in New York in ca. 1726, then he was probably also the Lt. Jesse Washburn who married (534) Silence5 Washburn, daughter of (140) Josiah4 and Sarah (Richmond) Washburn, of Bridgewater, on 29 Dec. 1748 in Bridgewater,[192] and moved to what is now Monroe Co., PA, in 1760.
+ 859 xiii Silas5 Washburn, born ca. 1733 in Westchester Co., NY,[193] married Mary Carpenter, daughter of Robert Carpenter.[194] (To be continued in Washburn Fifth Generation.)

however Jesse the son of Richard was not born until well after 1759. If the
Jesse Washburn of Sussex Co., NJ, was indeed part of this family he would have
to have been a brother of Richard in order to have been old enough to file a
suit in 1759, and the connection with Plymouth County, MA, in 1759 suggests
that he was probably the Jesse Washburn who married there in 1748 to Silence
Washburn, and eventually settled in the Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania. Further
research is needed.
