Families of the Children of Ruth4 Washburn and Abiram Canfield
Ruth Washburn and Abiram or Abriam Canfield lived in Derby, New Haven County, Connecticut Colony, and their children also lived in Derby. A couple of the grandchildren of their youngest son, Dr. Josiah Canfield, married other Washburn descendants, so I have moved this family to its own file, and will continue to work on the families of other grandchildren of Ruth Washburn to see if there are any other Washburn associations, but this family will not be carried on past this file.
