Fourth Generation in
Families of the Children of Margery3 Washburn and Josiah3 Leonard
Margery Washburn probably had 6
children before she died, and her husband had 2 more children by his second
wife. Although we do not have the actual date when Margery died, nor do we have
the birth dates of their children, we have the date of Josiah Leonard’s second
marriage, and we can calculate the approximate birth years of the children from
the dates of their marriages or ages at death. The grandchildren of Margery
Washburn are not well traced at this point, especially those of daughter
Margery Leonard. The children of daughter Elizabeth Leonard are listed under
those of her husband, and the children of son Josiah Leonard (Jr.) are listed
under those of his wife, since they both married back into the Washburn family.
Because Margery is a daughter her descendants will not be carried forward further
than this file, other than those who married back into the Washburn family.
