The Ancestors and Descendants of Abraham Daniel Wash burn and his wife Flora Clarinda Gleason, UTAH PIONEERS 1805 - 1962 Collected and Arranged by Ella L. Turner Copyright 1963 Ella Larsen Turner DEDICATION AND INTRODUCTION This book is dedicated to the memory of Lorena E. W. Larsen and Ellen L. Winget who knew the importance of record keeping and at whose desire and efforts these records were originally undertaken. The author desires to return her most hearty thanks to the many persons, too numerous to mention who have contributed important information in the compilation of this work. Many gave unselfishly of their time and energy in writing histories, collecting data and obtaining ancestral lines. We wish to gratefully acknowledge every person who assisted in this great undertaking. Time and expense was given freely. Much credit is due: Irvin L. Warnock of Sigurd, Ut. who furnished a book of his mother, Philena Warnock's family. He also let us have access to records he has gathered and preserved through the years. Nettie Hermansen of Ely, Nev., Lorna Johnson, Sigurd, Madge Jensen, Reva Bell, Neldon and Randall Forbush families and others of Monroe, Utah, assisted in this work. Margatet W. Baker of Salt Lake City gathered most of the records of her father. Hyrum's family. Jesse Ordean Washburn and his daughter Lola Deanne helped. Printha Fautin, Orem, Ut. made many trips to various parts of Utah collecting genealogical data of her mother, Almeda Winget's family. Leda Winget and Iona Jensen of Monroe and Amelia Jensen, Richfield, assisted. Marguerite Ogden of Richfield, Ut. worked constantly until she had collected and mailed us a complete record of her grandmother Huetta's descendants and their pedigree lines. Clara B. Webb of Melba, Ida., even though crippled and past eighty years of age, along with Dennis and Lucretia Peel of Mesa, Ariz. furnished a great deal of information as well as to help us get in communication with Fern Maroney, Phoenix, Ariz., Inez Taylor, Chico, Calif., and June Black of Applegate, Ore. and others. These helped with their own records as well as others of Aunt Louisa's family. Dolly Nilsson, Monroe, Ut. and Viron Washburn of Pleasant Grove, have been working continually to obtain the Parley Washburn family records. Chloe Jensen, Richfield, Ut. and Newell Washburn of Pasa­ dena, Calif. have done a great deal to bring their father Orson Washburn's records up to date. Others helping were Velma Snidow, Bainbridge, Wash.; Delilah Staples, Monroe, Ut., Deleal Washburn, Page, Ariz., Twilla Wilden, Monroe, WallaceWash- -1- burn, Pleasant Grove, Ut.; Zina and Weldon Bird, Springville, Ut.; and Marilyn Nelson, American Fork, Ut. In collecting the Lorena Larsen records, the many family members of all the generations have made great contributions. We feel as Margaret Baker said, "I've received the sweetest letters from people I didn't even know and our mail box has always been full. It's been a pleasure." If this precious material was to be published a financial problem presented itself. Dean L. Turner of Seattle, Wash. generously offered to accept this responsibility. Others who kindly volunteered financial aid were: Clair G. Turner, Salt Lake City, Ut. Lottie Robison, Fillmore, Ut. Ella Ruth Bergera, Provo, Ut. Winifred Herbert, Salt Lake City, Ut. Paul Turner, Richfield, Ut. Glen Turner, Springville, Ut. Grant Turner, Kensington, Md. We are grateful to Glen H. Turner for designing the cover. The result of our efforts is here presented with the hope that it will find favor among our dear kinsmen who gave so gen­ . erously of their time and efforts. Ella Larsen Turner CODE EXPLANATION A simple numbering system is used. As each name is intro­ duced, a number is attached which it retains and by which it may be distinguished from every other name in the book. This number will be used in the index instead of the page. An asterisk at the left of a number indicates that the person's name will be found farther on as a parent in a family. All who married Washburn descendants were invited to submit their ancestral or pedigree lines. The names of these ancestors are placed on the pages immediately following the names of the family of the descendant. The ancestors will not be given an indexnumber. The names of the parents of the person who married a Washburn descendant will be includecl in the index. Their names are an indication of their ancestral lines to some extent. -2- KEY TO ABB RE VIA TIONS B.S.A. Boy Scouts of America S.U.P. Sons of Utah Pioneers D.U.P. Daughters of Utah Pioneers c.c.

"In Winchenford, seven miles from Worcester, England, the traveler will find the old Washburn Manor House buried deep in country lanes and nearby a small and very pretty old Parish Church containing remarkable tombs of members of the Washburn family. The house of later date, much smaller than the old mansion, surrounded by a moat and approached by a drawbridge, had been inhabited by this ancient family for many generations. Remains of the moat can be traced and water lingers in what was once the great pool and affords a picturesque scene. The old Manor was evidently a semi­ fortified dwelling. The Wichenford Estate contained about six hundred acres, consisting of the court with lands ad­ joining and detatched land and tenements. In the middle of the seventeenth century the Washburns ceased to live at Winchenford. They having sold their holdings there, emi­ grated to a larger estate at Pichley." (Jane C.

F. Larsen, head of the B.Y.U. Art Department was in London, England in 1925. When he went again in 1930, his mother, Lorena E. Washburn Larsen asked him to visit the Washbourne estates that included Worcestershire and Glou­ cestershire counties near London. Prof. Larsen spent a few weeks there. He was fond of that part of England, the soil was good and the crops grew well. The country was very beautiful at harvest time when he was there. He painted some pictures and photographed places on the Washbourne estates. It was difficult taking pictures in the beautiful old churches because guides were continually conducting tourist groups through these historic places. In the Lady Chapel of the Gloucester Cathedral some of our Washburn ancestors were buried very close to Richard the Lion Hearted. The Manor House of Little Wash­ bourne was built on the spot occupied by the first Washbourne. He came to England with William the Conqueror and was knighted on the field of battle at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, and was given a tract of land, Little Washbourne and Great Washbourne, including Worcestershire and Gloucester­ shire counties. The family took it's name from these two estates. The Wichenford Church was built by the Norman Romanesque architects in 1262 and restored in 1863. Present inscriptions on its walls are - ''John Washborne, the best beloved gentleman in this country;" "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men;" "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest;" "I am the bread of life, and he that cometh to me shall never hunger, and he that believeth in me shall never thirst.'' Within the Sanctuary at Pytchley Church are buried - John Washbourne, gentleman, 16th Jan. 1685. Mrs. Elizabeth Guy, daughter of William, Mar. 1692. Mrs. Elizabeth Washbourne, 7th day of Feb. 1700. William Washbourne, gentleman, buried within the altar rails, 11th day of August, 1702. William Washbourne, Esq. 23rd Dec., 1704 and wife Susanna. Mrs. Anna Washbourne, age 89, 1757. -8- PAGECOAT·OF ARMS COAT u !<' ARMS The Coat of Arms is the badge of the family and the mark of lineage. Only those persons directly descended from one to whom an armoral bearing was originally granted was entitled to possess and display that Coat-of-Arms. A knight or leader in armor wore on his shield, cloak or helmet a distinguishing sign by which his men could recognize him and follow him into battle.
