Families of the Children of Martha4 Washburn and Robert4 Richmond

 

 

            The children of Martha Washburn and Robert Richmond lived in Brookfield, Worcester Co., MA, and some of their grandchildren spread out to Spencer, MA, and Chatham, CT, one granddaughter moving with her husband to North Carolina, and then to Indiana, and a couple of others going to New York. Some of the grandchildren have not been traced, and the family of the youngest daughter, Anna Richmond, is probably incomplete. This family will be added to as new information is uncovered, but it will not be carried on past this file.
