Families of the Children of Noah5 Washburn (Jr.) and Mary Staples

 

 

            Only two children of Noah Washburn (Jr.) and Mary Staples have traceable descendants at this point, son Stephen Washburn and daughter Mary Washburn. It appears that son Nehemiah Washburn did not have any children, because his heir was his nephew, Benjamin Washburn Edgerton of Northampton, MA, only one daughter was found to eldest daughter Elisabeth Washburn, who may have died in infancy, and no marriage has been found for either son Noah Washburn (3rd) or daughter Huldah Washburn. Son Stephen Washburn settled in Williamsburg, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, and had a small family, but a very large number of grandchildren, and daughter Mary Washburn lived in Halifax, Massachusetts, and had only two sons.
