Oct. 3, 1656, 33. about 72, according to the account given of it by the late Samuel Davis Esq. and history assures us he was appointed to command the troops raised to go against the Dutch, at Manhattan, in 1653, only three years before he died, and it is altogether improbable that he could then have been S7 years old : he was probably about 36 when he came over, which is corroborated by "New England's, Memorial," wherein it is recorded that he went in his "younger time" into the Low Countries as a soldier, and there becoming acquainted with the Church at Leyden came with them to N. England. He was a distant descendant (not a son as Mr. Holmes supposes) of the Rev. Henry Standish D. D., Bishop of St. Asaph's in the reign of Henry the 8th.

His brother John also lived in Br., and was called " John Tompkins from Salem": they both probably were from Salem. John died probably, or removed early : no others of the name have ever resided in the town.

WASHBURN. - John Washburn was early in Duxbury : he had an action in Court against Edward Doten 1632: is named in the assessment of taxes 1633: purchased Edward Bonpasse's place beyond the creek called Eagle's nest, 1634. He and his 2 ss. John and Philip, were included with those able to bear arms in the colony 1643, and his name is also among the first freemen of Duxbury. He and his s. John were original proprietors of Bridg., and they and Philip became residents and settlers here in S. B. as early as 1665: he d. here before 1670. We find no notice of any other children except these two sons. John Washburn was the first Secretary of the Council of Plymouth in England, and was succeeded by William Burgess 1628 : whether he had any connection with the family here is not ascertained. William, Daniel, and John Washburn were proprietors on Long Island as early as 1653, and soon disappeared from the records there : who they were, or whither they went, is not ascertained : we have always supposed that all of the name in this part of the country descended from John first above named. The name is variously written on the early records, Washburne, Washborn, Washborne, Washburn : the latter is now generally adopted, and has always been so written by the family here.

2. John (s. of John l.)m. Elizabeth, D. of Experience Mitchell, 1645, and had John, Thomas, Joseph, Samuel, Jonathan, Benjamin, Mary 1661, Elizabeth, Jane, James 1672, and Sarah : his will 1686. We find the following: "1 do also wish my cousin Elizabeth much joy with her D., that God has given to her six ss.," being an extract of a letter from Thomas Mitchell, dated at Amsterdam 24th July, 1662, to his uncle Experience Mitchell. The application of this congratulation to this family cannot be doubted. He sold his house and lands 1670, at Green's harbour, Duxbury, which his father had given him. John and Samuel were exor's to their father's will. He appointed his " kind friend" JohnTomson, and his " brother" Edward Mitchell, Trustees and Overseers in the execution of it, and in taking care of the children. Mary m. Samuel Kinsley 1694, or earlier. - Elizabeth m. James Howard, and afterwards Edward Sealey. - Jane m. Wm. Orcutt Jr. - Sarah m. John Ames 1697.

3. Philip (s. of John 1.). We cannot find that he left either wife or children : his father gave him a farm in Duxbury 1666, which he sold to Samuel Seabury 1679, and he sold other lands to Thomas Lazell in 1684: his brother John, in his will, directs his s. John to take care of " his uncle Philip," implying an incapacity in him either of mind or body to take care of himself; probably the latter, as he had been in possession and manager of

5. Thomas (s. of John 2.) lived near Lazell and Perkins' works ; had 2 wives, the first Abigail, D. of Jacob Leonard ; the 2d Deliverance, D. of Samuel Packard : no children on town records : his will 1729, whence we collect the names of the following : Nathaniel, Thomas, Timothy, Hepzibah,. Patience, Deliverance, Elizabeth. - Hepzibah m. John Hutchinson 1708. - Patience was then dead, having left children : whose wife she was is not ascertained. - Deliverance m. Ephraim Jennings 1719. Elizabeth m. Josiah Conant 1701. - No account of Nathaniel. - He gave David Perkins liberty by deed to join the mill dam to his land 1697.

6. Joseph (s. of John 2.) m. Hannah, D. of Robert Latham, and lived in E. B., and had Joseph, Jonathan, Ebenezer, Miles, Ephraim, Edward, Benjamin, Hannah, and perhaps others. It appears he was afterwards in Plymouth and Plympton by deeds he gave 1707, 1714, and 1720, in which his father Latham is mentioned: perhaps he had also a son John of Plymouth. Hannah probably m. Zechariah Whitmarsh 1730. - Hepzibah Washburn (whose D. not known) m. Benjamin Leach 1702. - Miles Washburn was chosen petty juror in B. 1699.

7. Samuel, (s. of John 2.) called Sergeant, m. Deborah, D. of Samuel Packard, and had Samuel 1678, Noah 1682, Israel 1684, Nehemiah 1686, Benjamin, and Hannah : he d. 1720, se. 69, and left a will, by which it appears Noah and Israel were then dead. Hannah m. John Keith 1711.

9. Benjamin (s. of John 2.) enlisted into the old French war, so called in Phipps' expedition against Canada 1690, and made a nuncupative will, and never returned. The frequent probate of wills, made on the occasion of that war, furnishes abundant proof of its disasters. He left no children.

Joseph 1705, Lydia 1707, Jemima 1710, Rebeckali 1712, Josiah 1716, Mercy 1718. He had a 2d w., and a s. Nathan. Joanna m. Ebenezer Leach 1734. - Jemima m. Josiah Leonard Jr. 1740. Rebeckali m. Samuel Alden 1752. - Mercy m. Pelatiah Phinney 1738. - Lydia m. Samuel West 1737. - Josiah Washburn's estate settled by his wid. Sarah and Edward Richmond of T. 1734.

Ephraim Holmes 1741, and was d. 1746. - Jane m. Thomas Thompson 1745. - Content m. Joseph Lathrop 1746. - Abishai went to Salisbury, Conn., and afterwards to Middlebury, Vt., and died there, and left no ss.: he sold land to Wm. Loring 1767, in which he was named of Albany.

13. Joseph (s. of John 4.) we find no certain account of. - There was a Joseph, who went to Nova Scotia ; this may be the man, or lie may have been the Joseph who was ancestor of the Leicester family. There is much uncertainty about the two Josephs, ss. of John 4 and of Joseph 6. [See Joseph 17.] Which of them was ancestor of the Leicester family, or whether either* is uncertain.

15. Thomas (s. of Thomas 5.) and his w. Elizabeth had Mary 1722, and Elizabeth (or Betty) 1724. Mary m. Jabez King 1753. Elizabeth, the mother, m. Joseph Crossman 1752. - Thomas Washburn m. Sarah, D. of John Leonard, 1708, and Abigail Heiford 1711.

17. Joseph (s. of Joseph 6.) we have no account of unless it is the following furnished by Col. Seth Washburn's family genealogy at Leicester: - " Joseph had 5 ss. viz: Elijah, Joseph, Seth, Ebenezer, and one who d. young. Col. Seth, s. of Joseph, had Seth, Joseph, and Asa. Seth died in the revolution, leaving an only son. - Joseph had Ebenezer, a lawyer in Montgomery, Alabama ; Joseph, a merchant in Milledgeville, Georgia ; Seth, a Pbysician in Greenfield, lately d.; and Emory, an Attorney at Leicester, now in Worcester. - Asa lives in Putney, Vt., and had Reuben, a Lawyer in Cavendish ; Seth in Randolph, Jacob in Chelsea, and Asa in Putney ; all in Vermont."

Joseph Washburn lived in E. B. 1716, and so also did Jonathan : these were probably ss. of Joseph 6. Jonathan had Silas 1713, Lemuel 1714, b. in E. B. - Most of the sons of Joseph 6.

went to Kingston and Plympton : Joseph, Miles, Edward, Ephraim, Ebenezer, were there as early as 1728; and Dea. John, Ichabod and Elisha, are also found on the records there about the same time. Most of the name about Plymouth, Kingston and Plympton, descended probably from Joseph 6. - Jona. Washburn m. Rebeckah Johnson of Hingham 1719. - [Boston Records.]

18. Samuel (s. of Samuel 7.) and his wife Abigail had David 1704, Deliverance 1706, Solomon 1708, Samuel 1710, Abigail 1712, Susanna 1714, Tabitha 1716. Deliverance m.

Abiel Washburn. - Abiel sen'r d. in the French war. - There was an Edward Washburn of Plympton who m. Judith Rickard 1732: he was son probably of Joseph 6.
