Families of the Children of Jonathan4 Washburn and Rebecca Perry

 

 

The families of the children of Jonathan Washburn and Rebecca Perry are very difficult to prove. I am posting the supposed family of elder son Silas Washburn with the understanding that if new information is uncovered, particularly the name of his wife and the correct birth order of his children, it may be added to. It is probable that Jonathan’s younger son Lemuel Washburn never married, and I have found no record to substantiate the purported marriage of daughter Susanna Washburn to George McCoy of New Jersey.

(466.) Silas5 Washburn, elder son of (130) Jonathan4 Washburn, (59) Joseph3, (43) John2 (5th), (28) John1 (4th); born in Bridgewater, MA, on 11 Feb. 1712/13,[1] married (____), and they supposedly moved to Carmel, Dutchess (now Putnam) Co., NY, but he was not a head of household in Dutchess Co., NY, in the 1790 federal census. He presumably died in Dutchess Co., NY,[2] but no probate records were found for his estate in Dutchess County.

         Silas Washburn supposedly had children,[3] order uncertain:

        1440     i   Jonathan6 Washburn, born say ca. 1742, was possibly the Jonathan Washbourn who was married and living in Frederickstown, Dutchess Co., NY, in the 1790 federal census.[4]

        1441    ii   Ebenezer Washburn, born say ca. 1745, no further record found.

+      1442   iii   Zebulon6 Washburn, born ca. 1747,[5] possibly in Dutchess Co., NY, married Phebe Wilson in ca. 1768,[6] and lived in Frederickstown, Dutchess Co., NY, and Kent, Putnam Co., NY. (To be continued in Washburn Sixth Generation.)

+      1443   iv   Silas6 Washburn (Jr.), born say 1750, possibly in Dutchess Co., NY, supposedly married Hope Tupper, daughter of William and Susanna (Clapp) Tupper, of Middleborough, MA.[7] (To be continued in Washburn Sixth Generation.)

        1444    v   Samuel Washburn, born supposedly in Dutchess Co., NY.

        1445   vi   Isaac6 Washburn, supposedly a Loyalist in the Revolutionary War,[8] he may have been the Isaac Washburn living in Phillipstown, Dutchess Co., NY, in the 1790 federal census,[9] marriage not found.
