Families of the Children of Cornelius⁴ Washburn and Experience Richards

Only three of the children of Cornelius Washburn and Experience Richards of Bridgewater, MA, married and left heirs, only one of the three being a son, Daniel, who remained in Bridgewater. The children of Daniel will be carried forward into the 6th generation, but those of Cornelius’ daughters Experience and Joanna, who married respectively Jonathan Alden and Daniel Conant, will not be carried further than this file, because of two different reasons: the families of the descendants of Mayflower pilgrim John Alden have been studied and published by researchers far better than I already, and the family of Daniel and Joanna Conant has a great degree of uncertainty in it, beyond the scope of this work for me to undertake the proving of the families of their children to the degree that would leave me satisfied. That being said, if more probate information is found I will add to this file.

He may have been the Daniel Conant living in Buckland, Hampshire (now Franklin) Co., MA, in the 1790 federal census,[351] or he may have been already living in New York. By 1800 he was in Herkimer, Herkimer Co., NY, where he was living next door to his son Archibald Conant,[352] and he was probably the Danl Conant living in Bloomfield, Ontario Co., NY, in the 1810 federal census,[353] next door to his son Jeremiah Conant.
