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.

Edward Washburn was reported to have married secondly to Elizabeth Snell,[117] daughter of Amos and Mary (Packard) Snell, of Bridgewater, but there is no proof that Edward had a second wife, other than the weak onomastic evidence of the given name of his youngest son, Amos Washburn, nor is there proof that Amos Snell had a daughter who married Edward Washburn.[118] So it now appears that all of the children of Edward Washburn were by all his wife Elisabeth Richmond.
