Families of the Children of Mary³ Washburn and Samuel Kinsley (Jr.)

The children of Mary Washburn are identified by the division of the estate of Samuel Kinsley, and the families of the children are pretty well established, although my list of great-grandchildren may be incomplete, and positive identification of the name of the wife of Samuel Kinsley (3rd) eludes me. Most lived west of Bridgewater in the town of Easton, which was established as the North Purchase of Taunton. Son Samuel Kinsley (3rd) and daughter Bethiah Kinsley moved to the Connecticut town of Norwich, in New London County, with their families. The families of the children of Silas Willis and Sarah Hayward are still being researched. Because Mary Washburn was a daughter, her descendants will not be carried forward further than what is listed here, with the exception of grandchildren John Kinsley and Mary Willis, who married back into the Washburn families.

[867] Heads of Families at the First Census of the United States Taken in the Year 1790: Massachusetts, Bountiful, UT, 1993, p. 172, the Josiah Hayward household had 1 free white male aged 16 or over, 2 free white males under 16, and 2 free white females. There was no Josiah Hayward or Haward or Howard household in Bridgewater in the 1790 census, and it is also possible that because of his age this Josiah Hayward was living with one of his children in Bridgewater in 1790.

[868] Bridgewater VRs, Vol. 2, p. 486. Mitchell, History of Bridgewater, says he died in 1773, but the Josiah Hayward who died in 1773 was styled “Jr.” in the death record, indicating he was probably this Josiah’s son by his second wife, Mary Dunham. His father having already died in 1764, by 1773 this Josiah would have been the Josiah Hayward “Sr.” living in Bridgewater.

But in case the said Caroline shall survive until one or both of the said children become of age, or until the marriage of said Fanny, then upon her decease, the one so of age or married as aforesaid, or both, shall take and receive the one half of the sum so invested as first above mentioned, and in case one of said children shall die before becoming of age or in the case of Fanny before majority or marriage, then the whole sum, so invested shall belong to the survivor, and the said Executors are directed to pay over such sum unto those entitled as aforesaid within six months after the decease of the said Caroline. But if the said Caroline shall refuse to accept and receive the provision first above made for her in lieu of dower, then the foregoing provisions of this instrument are to be void and of no effect

Secondly, Provided however if the said Caroline shall refuse to receive and accept the foregoing provisions in her favor in Lieu of Dower as therein provided, then and in that event, I give and bequeath all that portion or part of my estate real or personal, which shall be set off and apportioned unto the said Caroline as her dower according to law, unto my two said Children Rowe and Fanny Keith, which said part or dower estate shall vest in possession in them or their Guardians for them immediately on the decease of the said Caroline and be equally divided between them, and I further direct my executors to put my said son Rowe in possession of his share of said Dower portion immediately on the decease of the said Caroline if he shall have attained majority but if he shall not on the happening of that event have attained to his majority, then the same shall be managed & invested by them according to their best judgment until he shall become of age, when the same and all accumulations thereon shall be paid over and delivered to him. And I further direct my said Executors to put my said daughter Fanny in possession of her share of said Dower portion immediately on the decease of the said Caroline, if the said Fanny at that time shall be married or of age, but if she shall not then be married or of age then the same shall be held and managed by my said Executors for her until her marriage if before majority, or until the said Fanny’s coming of age, when the same in either event shall be paid over and delivered to her. But in case either of my said Children Row and Fanny, shall die before taking and receiving their respective share or portion as above provided them the survivor of them shall take and be entitled to take the whole of the said Caroline’s Dower portion. And I further desire and direct my Executors, that in case the said Caroline shall die before my said Children, Rowe and Fanny shall be entitled to the possession and delivery of their said shares or portions as above provided then my said Executors may apply the profits as may accrue on each childs part or share unto the support and education of said children respectively, that is to each, according to the amount of their seperate interests, and I hereby further declare that by the foregoing provisions, it is my intention to give and bequeath unto the said Rowe and Fanny, or to the survivor of them their Mother’s the said Caroline’s dower intrest whatever the same may be upon the expiration of her life estate or interest therein

Thirdly I give and devise, after the payment of all my just debts and subject to the foregoing provisions of this instrument, all the remainder of my estate Real or personal, unto my said Executors and as hereinafter appointed in trust, for the rest of my Children, now especially named, and for no one else that is to say, my children by my first wife, Ursula, Mary Dalrymple, my oldest daughter, George Keith, Sheppard S, Charles, James F, Reuben, Walter and Achsah, Ellen Keith, to be equally apportioned and divided between them, share and share alike as hereinafter more fully provided, and I direct my said Executors, within two years after my decease, to sell all my Real and personal estate for Cash, or upon time and good security, in case they think it good pollicy so to do and sell, and I hereby request and advise my said wife Caroline and my Children Rowe and Fanny Keith to suffer the dower portion, if the said Caroline elects to take her dower according to law, to be sold and disposed of with the rest of my estate. But in case my Executors shall not deem it advisable to sell the same, then the same shall be at the expiration of two years from my decease equally divided among my said Children by my Wife Ursula, and among no other persons. The real estate to be partitioned, and the personal property divided equally between them together with all the profits accruing thereon from my decease to the time of division as aforesaid, and I further direct my said Executors, that upon such partition and division, they shall, not convey or deliver the portion and share of my Estate that by the terms of the provisions aforesaid will belong to my daughter Mary Dalrymple, but they shall hold the same, in trust for her and the rest of her colegatees, that is to say the children of the said Ursula, and in case of a sale of the premises as above provided, and a division of the proceeds as above provided, the portion that would go to the said Mary shall be invested in or upon good Bonds and Mortgages upon Real Estate in said County bearing annual intrest and such annual intrest when collected, shall be paid by my Executors unto the said Mary annually and to no one else during her natural life, but upon her decease the said principle so invested, shall go and be equally divided among her said Co-legatees or the survivors of them Equally. But in case the said estate shall not be sold, but divided and portioned as above directed, then the portion or part which would go to the said Mary shall be farmed and managed by my Executors as in their judgment seems best for her use and benefit, and the profits thereof annually given unto the said Mary by them, and to no other person during her natural life, but upon her decease, the same shall be sold and equally divided among her Co-legatees the Children of the said Ursula or the survivors of them, and to no other persons, and in case of the decease of any of my Children by the said Ursula before my decease, or before they shall have taken and come into possession under the provisions aforesaid then that portion or portions, which would otherwise have fallen to such deceased Child or Children shall be equally divided among the survivors of them the Children of the said Ursula.
