Some Descendants and Ancestors of John and Sarah (Davis) Washburn of Switzerland County, Indiana Some Descendants and Ancestors of John and Sarah (Davis) Washburn of Switzerland County, Indiana compiled by H Edgar Hill May 2020 Table Of Contents Descendants of John Washburn 1 Ahnentafel Report for Sarah Ann Davis 15 Ahnentafel Report for John Washburn 17 Index 51 iii Descendants of John Washburn Generation 1 1. JOHN1 WASHBURN was born between 1795-1804. He died about 1840. He married (1) SALLY M. BELL (daughter of Armiger Bell and Sarah Blackford) on 01 Mar 1819 in Switzerland Co., Indiana. She was born on 28 Mar 1800 in Versailles, Woodford Co., Kentucky. She died on 01 Mar 1819. He married (2) SARAH ANN DAVIS (daughter of Samuel Davis and Elizabeth Dixon) on 14 Mar 1833 in Switzerland Co., Indiana. She was born about 1818 in Ohio. Notes for John Washburn: Based on the will of his father-in-law and the1840 census, John died probably late 1839 or early 1840. John and his second wife Sarah Davis had only two children: Samuel and John. John, Sr, was alive in May 1839 because he was mentioned in the settlement of his father-in-law's estate. Sarah is listed without a husband in the 1840 census. Presumably John died sometime between May 1839 and mid-1840 when the census was taken. There is a John Washburn in Switzerland County, Indiana in the 1820 census. This John Washburn married Sarah Bell in 1819. This John Washburn appears to be the same John Washburn who married Sarah Davis in 1833. Benton P. Washburne in his book The Washburn Family in America has John, the son of Jeremiah, married to Sarah Naylor. He indicates that most of the information on the Jeremiah Washburn family came from another source, but he could not remember the name and author of the or the source. I have yet to find any record of a John Washburn marrying a Sarah Naylor and Mr. Washburn does not site any source. If John married a Sarah Naylor, it is likely that the is his first of three wives. Pending further research, I have not added Sarah as a wife of John. Samuel Washburn's death certificate (son of John) lists his mother as Susanna Davis. However, this is incorrect. Her first name was Sarah. This is supported by several census records and the record of her second marriage. A year or so after John's death Sarah remarried a James Moore in Switzerland Co., Indiana. It is known from living family members that there was at least one daughter by Sarah's married to William Moore was Mollie (real name was Amanda). Mollie married a William Herman who later became fire department captain for Jefferson Co., Kentucky. They did not have children. The 1850 census records for Switzerland Co., Indiana shows a James Moore, age 60; with Sally, age 38; Samuel, Age 15 (listed without any indication of a Washburn surname), age 15; John, age 12 (listed without any indication of a Washburn surname) ; Permelia and Louisa, age 5; a daughter listed only as M., age 3; and an unnamed daughter age 1. The 1860 Carroll Co., Kentucky census shows Sarah A. Moore, age 42; Amanda Moore, age 17; Mary Moore, age 9; and Samuel Washburn, 25. There were two other Washburn's in Switzerland Co., Indiana about the same time who appear to be related to John: Jeremiah Washburn who married Syntha/Sally Evans 31 Dec 1823 and Samuel Washburn who married Polly Evans (daughter of Thomas) 4 Apr 1819, If this John is the John who was the son of Jeremiah and Elizabeth Duvall, Samuel was John's brother and Jeremiah (who married Sally Evans) was his nephew, the son of his half brother, Nicholas. DNA evidence clearly indicates that John was a descendant of the Washburn family from Plymourh County, Massachusetts. Jeremiah has been accepted by the Mayflower Soceity as a on of Lemuel and Lemuel and the son of Jonathon who married Rebecca Perry.Jeremiah is the logical choice for John's father based on circumstantial evidence. John Washburn and Sarah Ann Davis had the following children: 2. i. SAMUEL2 WASHBURN (son of John Washburn and Sarah Ann Davis) was born on 13 Mar 1836 in Switzerland Co., Indiana. He died on 23 Dec 1925 in English, Carroll Co., Kentucky. He married (1) JANE WEBSTER (daughter of Edward Webster and Elizabeth Moore) on 18 Jan 1863 in Carroll Co., Kentucky.

    James Chilton: English background "James Chilton, tailor, was listed as a freeman of Canterbury in 1583. He married before 1587 just possibly Susanna Furner, daughter of his step-mother and her first husband Francis Furner. Seven children were baptized in Canterbury to James, then about 1600 the family moved to neighboring Sandwich where three more children were baptized, including youngest daughter Mary, who was baptized at St. Peter's in 1607."

  • William Bradford's Life and Influence Have Been Chronicled by Many. As the Co-Author of Mourt's Relation, the Author of of Plymo
    William Bradford's life and influence have been chronicled by many. As the co-author of Mourt's Relation, the author of Of Plymouth Plantation, and the long-term governor of Plymouth Colony, his documented activities are vast in scope. The success of the Plymouth Colony is largely due to his remarkable ability to manage men and affairs. The information presented here will not attempt to recreate all of his activities. Instead, we will present: a portion of the biography of William Bradford written by Cotton Mather and originally published in 1702, a further reading list, selected texts which may not be usually found in other publications, and information about items related to William Bradford which may be found in Pilgrim Hall Museum. Cotton Mather's Life of William Bradford (originally published 1702) "Among those devout people was our William Bradford, who was born Anno 1588 in an obscure village called Ansterfield... he had a comfortable inheritance left him of his honest parents, who died while he was yet a child, and cast him on the education, first of his grand parents, and then of his uncles, who devoted him, like his ancestors, unto the affairs of husbandry. Soon a long sickness kept him, as he would afterwards thankfully say, from the vanities of youth, and made him the fitter for what he was afterwards to undergo. When he was about a dozen years old, the reading of the Scripture began to cause great impressions upon him; and those impressions were much assisted and improved, when he came to enjoy Mr.

  • Mayflower 187
    Mayflower 187 The Pilgrims A strange group of religious dissenters called “Pilgrims” had fled England circa 1608 to escape persecution and had settled in Leyden, Holland. A decade later, distressed by the fact that their children were losing contact with their English traditions and unable to earn a decent living in Holland, they had decided to seek a place to live and worship as they pleased in the emptiness of the New World. They approached Sir Edwin Sandys seeking permission to establish a settlement within the London Company’s jurisdiction; and Sandys, while not sympathetic to their religious views, appreciated their inherent worth and saw to it that their wish was granted. The Pilgrims boarded the Speedwell and sailed from Delfthaven, Holland. They joined with friends who had embarked on the Mayflower at Southhampton and sailed for the New World on August 6, 1620. However, the Speedwell leaked badly and both ships returned to Plymouth. Eventually, the Speedwell was sold and on September 6, l620, the group of about a hundred set out on the Mayflower. Had the Mayflower reached its intended destination in Virginia, the Pilgrims might well have been soon forgotten. However, they had been carried far out of their way, and the ship touched America on the desolate northern end of Cape Cod Bay. Unwilling to remain longer at the mercy of storm-tossed December seas, the settlers decided to remain. Since they were outside the jurisdiction of the London Company, the group claimed to be free of all governmental control. Therefore, before going ashore, the Pilgrims drew up the Mayflower Compact.

Had nothing changed, we would be preparing for our normally scheduled Bradford Colony November meeting. At the end of November, Bradford Colony would have been hosting the 83rd Annual Meeting of the Florida Society of Mayflower Descendants of Florida. We had spent a great deal of time putting a wonderful plan in place. From contracting with a beautiful venue, hiring an engaging Wompanonoag Indian speaker, and planning a delicious menu, we had it covered! Thank you to all our Board Members for their hard work including Jeff Berg for having a commemorative pin designed, Robbie Robinson for planning the goody bags, Bob Rogers for collecting give-a-ways, and Terri McGoldrick for leading the drive for raffle items. Also a special thank you goes to Shirley Smith for volunteering to decorate the tables with a unique “First Thanksgiving” theme. Had we actually held the meeting, there were plans to recruit many more of you to help on the day of the event! Bradford Colony officers serve three year terms, with the most recent term ending in 2020. Normally, we would have inducted our new officers at the November meeting. This year, we have had to improvise, conducting our business by email. The slate of officers was sent out in a September email, asking for comments and approval. The Officers for the next term are listed herein. With respect to future meetings, we have been optimistic in reserving the following meeting dates with the St.

  • CHILDREN on the MAYFLOWER by Ruth Godfrey Donovan
    CHILDREN ON THE MAYFLOWER by Ruth Godfrey Donovan The "Mayflower" sailed from Plymouth, England, September 6, 1620, with 102 people aboard. Among the passengers standing at the rail, waving good-bye to relatives and friends, were at least thirty children. They ranged in age from Samuel Eaton, a babe in arms, to Mary Chilton and Constance Hopkins, fifteen years old. They were brought aboard for different reasons. Some of their parents or guardians were seeking religious freedom. Others were searching for a better life than they had in England or Holland. Some of the children were there as servants. Every one of the youngsters survived the strenuous voyage of three months. As the "Mayflower" made its way across the Atlantic, perhaps they frolicked and played on the decks during clear days. They must have clung to their mothers' skirts during the fierce gales the ship encountered on other days. Some of their names sound odd today. There were eight-year-old Humility Cooper, six-year-old Wrestling Brewster, and nine-year-old Love Brewster. Resolved White was five, while Damans Hopkins was only three. Other names sound more familiar. Among the eight-year- olds were John Cooke and Francis Billington. John Billington, Jr. was six years old as was Joseph Mullins. Richard More was seven years old and Samuel Fuller was four. Mary Allerton, who was destined to outlive all others aboard, was also four. She lived to the age of eighty-three. The Billington boys were the mischief-makers. Evidently weary of the everyday pastimes, Francis and John, Jr.
