Welcome to
The Washburn Family Network Homepage
(Washburn, Washbourne, Washburne, Washborne, Washband, Washbon, Washbond, etc.)
Note that this site was formerly called The Washburn Research Project.
This is a list of people who are researching their Washburn ancestors.
To get your name, and ancestry listed send an email to
David Sylvester or write to me
at 28 North Searsport Road, Searsport, Maine 04974 and include your full name, your
email address or other contact info, where you're from, your
Washburn ancestry, links to other web sites, and additional information you'd like
to include about
your Washburn family. Those who would like to share family data and sources may
then contact you.
I'm now accepting narratives in Text, RTF, Word and PDF formats which
I'll upload to the site to be downloaded by visitors. Also small gedcoms will be
accepted.
The purpose of this site is to maintain as much data on Washburn families as
possible or to link to the location where it exists.
Participation in this project is free. All who are interested may submit
data or use the data they find here at no cost.
There are never any dues or fees required and there is nothing to join.
There are no advertisements and there is nothing to purchase.
As far as I know most Washburn descendants in the United States trace their
ancestry back to either
John1 Washburn the
immigrant through
one of his sons John2 or
Philip2, or from
William1 Washburn the
immigrant who may or may not be related to John1.
You might descend from one of them or from another line
of Washburns in any country or you may not have found the progenitor of your
line yet. All partial or complete Washburn lines from any place are welcome
here.

Unconnected Washburn lines
Bobbie Mieczkowski
has the following Washburn line.
Louis Washburn Birdnow born in Clinton County, IL in 1870
Louis Theophile Birdnow [married Virginia Evelyn Washburn in 1863
Virginia Evelyn Washburn was born in Bond County, IL in 1844
From Bobbie's email:
What I have on her says she was born in Bond County, IL in 1844.
Censuses say her father was born in Maine and her mother in Pennsylvania.
Her death certificate from 1926 says her father's first name was Elijah.
She had 11 children that I can count.
I have not found her in the 1860 or 1870 census yet. I can find her 1880 and beyond, until her death.
She shows up in the 1850 census living with a woman named Emmy May Maffitt and her son Thomas, who was 8 at the time. The family lore via my cousin was that her father and older brothers were fur traders.
I can only assume that by 1850 her mother was dead, or possibly her whole family, or else her father and older brothers were out west fur trading and pawned the little girl off on a neighbor. Or is Emmy an aunt or other relative? I cannot find Emmy in 1860 or 1870.
There are other Washburns around that part of Illinois, but they all seem to be southern Washburns. I have at least two censuses which say she believed her father was born in Maine. Her mother's birthplace differs in the censuses, but I think some people thought Emmy was her mother. Emmy came from Kentucky.
If her father was traveling around fur trading, he likely was missed in censuses. And where she was born and raised, there was no required record-keeping until much later. I cannot obtain even my grandfather's birth certificate.
Anyway, if you find a Maine line with an Eli or Elijah who disappeared out west fur trading, he might be mine.
Tina Washburn Russell
of Keithville, La. has the following Washburn line, beginning with her grandparents.
Arnold Chesney Washburn born March 3, 1911 died May 1976 [married Daisy Lee Frisby]
Cleveland Washburn born March 3, 1892 died Dec. 19, 1918 [married Ollie born Feb. 5, 1894 died Nov 19, 1918]
They died of the flu epidmeic in the early 1900's and are buried at Moore Chapel.
Tina would like to trace her Washburn line back past her great grandparents.
Chris Roy
has the following Washburn line.
Christopher Denis Roy (b. 12/3/1964 in Barre, VT)
Helen Christine Christiansen (b. 6/11/1937 in Newport, VT)
Olive Isabel Bennett (b. 4/10/1912 in Holland, VT)
Charles Henry Bennett (b. 6/18/1865 in Holland, VT)
Lydia Ann Washburn (b. 7/18/1831 in Wilcox, ME)
Samuel Orcutt Washburn (b. 5/5/1798 in Sutton, VT)
Jeremiah Washburn (b. abt. 1771)
See Chris' note below
Nehemiah Washburn married Ruth Egerton
Noah Washburn married Mary Staples
Note from Chris' email:
Jeremiah Washburn and Hannah Orcutt were the first couple ever married in
Lyndon, Vermont. They were married on 6/26/1794. They actually lived in
the adjoining town of Sutton (f/k/a Billymead), Vermont. Jeremiah was the
first town constable of Sutton, and Hannah's father, Samuel Orcutt, was the
first town moderator. It appears that Jeremiah and Hannah were both born in
Sandwich, New Hampshire. The best date I have for Jeremiah is some time
around 1771. I have not been able to nail down who Jeremiah's parents were.
The best guess I have is that his father may have been Nehemiah Washburn,
who was born in Bridgewater, Massachusetts on Jan. 1, 1743, and married Ruth
Egerton on March 29, 1770 in Bridgewater. Nehemiah's parents were Noah
Washburn and Mary Staples.
Kevin Vap
