in
Families of the Children
of Edward4 Washburn and Elisabeth Richmond
It appears that only two of the five children of Edward Washburn and Elisabeth Richmond left descendants. Edward, the eldest son, had 3 children, but only his eldest son had descendants, while Amos, the youngest son, had a large number of children who reached adulthood, but only one son who had descendants, most of the others apparently choosing not to marry.
