WASHBURN ROOTS IN AMERICA Washburns were among the very early settlers of this country. The most well-documented of these are John and William Washburn, who were generally believed to be brothers. John and William settled in Duxbury, Massachusetts (ca. 1632) and Hempstead, Long Island (ca. 1644), respectively. The John Washburn descendants especially are very well documented as they married into several Mayflower families. However, forefathers of the Lawrence County Washburns that are the subject of this paper seemed to have settled in neither Massachusetts nor New York but rather Virginia. A Joseph Washburn is indicated as having been in Virginia by 1634, a Daniel Washburn in 1641, and a John Washburn as early as 1619. As will be seen later, a direct linkage between the Lawrence County Washburns and any of these early Virginia settlers has yet to be established.

ORIGINS OF THE LAWRENCE COUNTY WASHBURN FAMILY by Patricia Washburn Long

We know nothing of the origins of John and Susannah. Like many other researchers, I have tried to tie them in with the Washburn's in NJ, without success. The pioneer migration patterns suggest that that is possible. We know that John Washburn was in the area of Culpeper Co, as early as June 26, 1726, having received a land patent with John Zachary & Allen Fray of 425 acres, according to Spotsylvania County Land Office Patents & Gtants/ No. 12, Page 482. (Culpeper was subsequently form from the section of Spotsylvania Co.) He seems to have been a land speculator, involved in a number of land deals.

The ancestry of John is vague. A generally accepted, but unproven, story is that John is from the family of William Washburn, born about 1601 in Bengeworth, England. William was a brother of John Washburn (different John), born before July 2, 1597, and died in Bridgewater, Mass in 1670.
Supposedly some of the family migrated from Massachusetts to Connecticut to Virginia. Several people have been trying for years to prove the parents of John, but with no success.- - (NOW the new DNA testing is opening new windows and paths to the past. ~ So here goes our journey) **

___ Washburn md ____
IF John and Thomas are brothers we will list this for now....

1. John Washburn b abt 1700 SEE BELOW
2. Thomas Washburn b 1725
**Thomas Washburn, b.abt. 1725, land records show that Thomas Washburn owned land which was nearly adjacent to that owned by John Washburn in 17??. There was probably a close family connection, such as brothers or cousins. Some of the subsequent Kentucky Washburns may descend from Thomas rather than John, some of the Washburns who came to Kentucky may have been cousins rather than brothers. There was also a contemporary Sarah Washburn in Culpeper, who married Nicholas Browning and gave birth to Enos Browning in 1751. The farm between those of John and Thomas Washburn was owned by Francis Browning as noted in the land record quoted below.

1. John Washburn, born abt 1700 Culpeper Co, Virginia. died 15 Feb. 1779 in Culpeper Co. VA. md Susannah Suchy ** b abt 1728, VA d 3 Sept 1778, Culpeper Co. VA. ** ** **
--- John Washburn was in the area of Culpeper Co, as early as June 26, 1726, having received a land patent with John Zachary & Allen Fray of 425 acres, according to Spotsylvania County Land Office Patents & Grants/ No. 12, Page 482. (Culpeper was subsequently formed from a section of Spotsylvania Co.) He seems to have been a land speculator, involved in a number of land deals.
---**The Shelby County Washburn family oral history relates that the Culpeper Washburn’s mainly made their living by operating a slave trading post in Culpeper, and that Benjamin Austin Washburn and his brother George Washburn brought 26 slaves with them to Kentucky, which is how they were able to build a large two-story federal- style stone house in Shelby County. The size and scale of quarrying that much stone between 1787 and 1791 with which to build the house while clearing the land and growing survival crops supports that oral history.
--- John Washburn b. ? d. February 15, 1779, Culpepper, VA; left his estate to his wife Susannah Unknown, and after her death to be divided equally among “ all (his) children except my son Lewis to whom I give one shilling sterling only”. His son Eley (Eli) was Executor of the estate
---"Culpeper Co. VA Deeds, Vol. One 1749-1755": Pages 21-23. 20 July 1749. James Pendleton and Elizabeth his wife of Culpeper County to John Washburn of same. For 5 shillings. 269 acres on the north Little Fork of Rappa: River...said Pendleton's tract of land...Cabbin Branch...Willis's line...head of a valley corner to Francis Browning...corner of said Washburn...:Jas. Pendleton, Eliza: Pendleton: 20 July 1749. Acknowledged by James Pendleton and Elizabeth his wife.
--- "The History of Harrison County" (WV) records that Charles, Isaac, James and Stephen, all sons of John Washburn, were killed by Indians. Each of them had served in Dunmore's War and as scouts for Gen. George Rogers Clark during the Revolutionary War. According to his application for a pension, their brother, Moses, also served two, six months enlistments with Charles. Their brother, Benjamin, enlisted into Washington's Army, and was presnt at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. Eley also served, in what capacity is unknown, but he received a land patent as compenstation for his service. Then we have Lewis. All of the above have definitely been identified as sons of John Washburn.

1. F Eley Washburn b 1739 d aft. 1785 SEE BELOW
2. Sarah Washburn b. abt. 1742 in Harrison Co. VA (now WV) d. aft.1760
3. Charles Washburn SR b 1744 Harrison Co. VA (now WV) d June 1782 [killed by Indians] in Harrison, Clarkburg VA (now WV) md Nancy Rebecca Lowther in 1772 b. 1744 in Hardy Co. VA (now WV); d. aft 1802 Harrison Co. (W)VA . dau of William Carder and Nancy Carder, nee Lowther **
---Nancy married (2) William Carder after Charles died.
--- (Charles Washburn) served in the Revoluntary Army as an Ensign of Infantry in a battalion which the Virginia Assembly ordered to be organized in Monongalia County in October 1776. Under this order, Monongalia County(from which Harrison County eas subsequently formed) was required to send:three captains, three first lieutenants, three second lieutenants, and three ensigns. Each captain was to bring into the field twenty-eight men; each first lieutenant, twenty men; each second lieutenant, sixteen men; and each ensign , ten men. This represented a total of two hundred, twenty-two men for Monongalia County. As part of Charles contingent, he enlisted two of his brothers, James and Stephen into the battalion." "The West Virginia Heritage Encycopedia, Volume Nine, "The Soldiery of West Virginia"
--- According to the war pension application affidavit of Moses Washburn ,Charles was killed near Clarksburg soon after being discharged from the army in 1782. The unit was commanded by a Colonel William Lowther, who may well have been his father-in-law.
**---In the month of June, 1782, there lived in the village of Clarksburg, a man named Charles Washburn, who, while chopping wood in his yard, was shot by a party of Indians lurking in the vicinity. One fellow more venturesome than the others,rushed up to the dying man, cleft his skull with an axe, and, quickly scalpingthe body, made his escape with the bloody trophy. (From "The Pioneers of Jackson County" by John A House). His widow (Nancy) then married William Henry Carder. In 1785 in Harrison Co., VA William Lowther (brother of Nancy Lowther) became guardian of Isaac Washburn (son of Charles Washburn & Nancy Lowther)
---Three other Washburn brothers were killed by Indians: Isaac,who was shot on Hacker’s Creek in 1778, and James and Stephen, who were waylaid, while hunting for pine knots for making shoe wax, near their home on West Fork. Stephen was shot and scalped, and James was carried off to their town, where he was put to death by cruel torture. (From "The Pioneers of Jackson County"by John A House)
---Of the five brothers, at least three of them were granted land from fighting in the Indian Wars. One of these brothers is most likely Thomas's father--James, Stephen or Isaac Sr. Although three of the five were killed during subsequent attacks, they are considered part of the group that succeeded in winning the land. Also Elizabeth Carder's mother (Thomas's wife) is Rebecca Lowther Washburn Carder and her brother Colonel William Lowther is famous in West Virginia for winning the fight against the Indians. There is a Historical Maker with Colonel William Lowther's name and that of the Washburns near Jane Lew WV. ** **
- 1. Thomas Washburn b 1773 in what is now Harrison County, WV. d. aft 1830 md Elizabeth Carder on Feb 11, 1805 Harrison Co. (W)VA dau of William Washburn and Rebecca Lowther b 1785 VA, d. aft 1850 Wood Co. (W)VA .
  ---Thomas was raised by Charles Washburn and Rebecca Lowther. Perhaps he was an orphan of the Indian attacks in 1778 . Family researchers are unsure of his true parentage **
  ---Thomas decided to move westward to Jackson County, VA and did so in 1831 at age 58.
  ---1831 personal property tax book for Jackson County contains Thomas Washburn’s name and a total tax of 18 cents for that year. The tax was for three horses or their equivalent in mares, colts and mules that he owned.
  ---In the document “Some Tales of Early Settlers” which was taken from “Pioneers in Jackson County, West Virginia” by John A House, several references to the Washburns and Carders of the Upper Sandy Valley.
  -----Carder historians say was named Nancy (rather than Rebecca) might have been the widow of Isaac Washburn rather than widow of Charles as recorded. ** **

      --- We are looking for documents to support when Peter Andrew Washburn died and where he is buried. Online shows March 7 and March 9, 1880. We have written to Adams County Illinois which has no records for his birth, marriage to Susan Crow Gesford, or his death and where he is buried. The courthouse burned there plus was tornado there so maybe all records are gone. Also, there is additional info on Susan Crow and we would like to find when she died and where she is buried. We found her on Iowa 1930 Census but have written to Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois and none can find when she died. She remarried after Peter passed away to a William Wilsey.Pat Washburn [2-2008]

--- Ben Washburn notes: ** It was always related that the Washburn family ran a slave trading post in Culpeper, and that Benjamin A. and George,Elias, Delaney and Lewis brought 26 slaves with them when they migrated to Kentucky in 1786, and built a two story, eight room stone house on Benjamin's Revolutionary War 360 acre land grant in Shelby County. The grant lies just off of a branch of the Wilderness Trail, which ran between Frankfort and Louisville, about 30 miles SE of Louisville. It took four years to quarry and lay the stone and build the house. It was finished in 1791, the year before Kentucky became a State. One of my cousins donated it to the county historical society in the 1960s. It stood almost 200 years until 1980 when the society sold it to a speculator to raise funds for their other efforts. He tore it down and sold the "historical" stonework to several wealthy folks to build grand entrances, and turned the cherry staircases, and oak plank floors and beams into "historical" knick knacks.
--- Kentucky tax lists of the times list Lewis, Delaney, George and Elias as having personal taxable property. John Washburn's will is quoted as providing but a modest inheritance for his son Lewis, and in appointing Elias (Eley) as his administrator. But it does not name his remaining heirs.
---Delaney settled and prospered about 20 miles farther toward Louisville. George, according to the family oral history, left and moved on north of the Ohio River, but I can find no further tracks for him. Lewis evidently doubled back along the Wilderness Trail to Kingsport Tennessee and settled there. His descendents have been fairly diligent in recording their family tree.

---Benjamin served in the Virginia Militia during the Revolutionary War and received a pension. After the War, in which he served as one of the patriots under General Washington, he married Miss Mary Beason in 1784. Shortly thereafter with his bride he followed Boone’s trail through the wilderness to Kentucky, along with some other pioneers, and settled near Paris. Four years later he came to Shelby County, Kentucky.
About this date Virginia had granted large bounties of land to her soldiers of the War of Independence and also treasure land warrants in redemption for the depreciated currency. These lands were located in Kentucky, and a large immigration followed.
---In 1791, while Kentucky was still part of Virginia, Benjamin Washburn built a stone house which stood near Shelbyville, KY until about 1986 when it was lost to fire. The letters patent to this old homestead were issued from Richmond, Virginia, and were signed by Patrick Henry, Governor of the Old Dominion.
--- In “The Washburne Family in America”, Brenton Washburne writes that Benjamin A. Washburn had seven sons: Delaney (b. 1784), James, Benjamin, Lewis, John (1789-1840), Samuel (1802-1872), and Moses. It indicates Benjamin A. Washburn’s son James as the father of James Washburn,
---There is a James in the 1830 Kentucky census, Jefferson County, household #126. The fact that this James lives near to Delaney Washburn in household #124 hints at a possible relationship to Delaney, a son of Benjamin A. Washburn according to Mr. Washburne. The census details indicated one male 5-10, one male 10-15, and one male 40-50. None of these fit a son James born 1828 although it is known that for various reasons census returns can be misleading and even incorrect. The James Washburn in the 1830 Jefferson County, Kentucky census does not seem to appear in the 1840 Kentucky census. The James Washburn in the 1840 Henry County, KY census appears to be a different person based on age comparisons. **

------ NOTE: Research has found nothing to suggest that Benjamin A. Washburn entered a second marriage 35 years before the the death of Mary Beason Washburn, but is mindful that Kingsport, TN is the stop-over provisioning station of persons who were traveling the wilderness road through the Cumberland Gap between Kentucky and the Virginias. It is also possible that Benjamin A. had been married before the Revolutionary War, and was the father of Delaney Washburn and others as some have suggested, but no evidence of such a marriage has yet been found.
--- The Bourbon Co. Virginia (and Kentucky) tax lists show that Benjamin A. Washburn had taxable property in that region between 1786 and 1798, along with holdings by Delaney, Philip, Elias and ? Washburn. Bourbon County during those years embraced the whole eastern third of the Kentucky territory. The Wilderness Trail from Cumberland Gap wound through the forests of Bourbon County until it reached that expansive grassy area in north central Kentucky. This area had been kept clear of trees by occasional burnings done by the many Indian tribes who had reserved the Kentucky area for hunting and used those grassy rolling hills to attract buffalo from the great plains to the north and west. While most of this area is called the Bluegrass area today, today’s bluegrass is an European import. The native grass was Reed Canary grass, which was a coarse grass that grew from two to six feet high, similar to the tall grasses of the African Savannahs. While green in the spring, it turned brown by August and was easily burned away, sometimes by lightning, sometimes on purpose. The county seat was at Paris, which in good weather was but a day’s ride from Lexington, which served as the county seat of Fayette County, a county which embraced a large part of inland central and western Kentucky. Paris was but a two- or three-day ride to Fort Nelson and the Ohio River falls, soon to become Louisville. Louisville was the county seat of Jefferson County, which at that time embraced a large area along and back from the Ohio River. Benjamin A. Washburn had been awarded a land patent for 320 acres of land for his service in the Revolutionary War which he applied to a tract located about half way between Frankfort and Louisville, which lay immediately on the South side of one of the main trails which then ran between Lexington through Frankfort and on to Louisville. The trail no longer exists as a public road, but was still in use as late as the 1940’s by horse-drawn buggies and by wagon caravans of gypsies and amish who could not safely use the auto-traveled highways. Between, 1787 and 1791, using slave labor, Benjamin A. built a large two-story stone house based on the federal model, which was unique in that day and place. It became the anchor residence of an extended family for the next century and a half.

As Lerone Bennet, Jr. recounts in his 1964 classic "Before the Mayflower", it was not uncommon before the advent of the Jim Crow mentality at the end of the century, for unmarried male slaveowners to engage in ongoing open relationships with female slaves, short of marriage.

  --- The 1830 census indicates that Ben Jr. resided in the Simpsonville post office area which is in the North east portion of Shelby County near the Jefferson County line and the Middletown area where Delaney Washburn had settled. By 1850, he appears to have moved into the old stone house, perhaps after Benjamin A. passed away. Both before and after this move, there were other relatives and families in his household.

--- ** JOHNATHON MINEAR:Killed by Indians in 1780, St. George, West Virginia. In Tucker County, West Virginia, below the mouth of Clover Run, he made a settlement, deeded to him by the State in 1781. He built a cabin on the land and raised a crop. By the time of his death most of the family had moved within or close to the "Fort Minear" on account of indications of Indians in the vicinity. For some days there had been no signs of the Indians and the settlers started back to their farms to look after their stock. (It was afterwards learned that the Indians had been watching the area for several days from the opposite side of the river.) Jonathan Minear, with his brother-in-law, Philip Washburn, and one of the Camerons left the fort at sunrise, Cameron's farm was on the North side of Cheat River but Johathon and Washburn had to cross the river. When they reached the cabin, while Washburn went to the field to feed the cattle, Jonathon went to the crib for corn to feed the hogs. As Washburn, with a load of fodder, was passing through the fence bars he was grabbed by the Indians, Immediately there was a discharge of guns; Washburn saw Johathon running towards the river with a dozen Indians after him. He ran as though wounded, (he had been shot in the thigh) and the Indians soon overtook him on the river bank. Johathon saw he could not escape and , to avoid their tomahawks, ran around a beech tree to ward off the blows aimed at his hands. Several times they missed him and the marks of the tomahawks on the tree could still be seen as late as 1948, according to the book "The Descendants Of John Minear". Finally his head was split by a tomahawk and a piece of his skull was fastened to a nearby tree stump. All this was seen by Cameron from the opposite side of the river. Cameron started at once for the Fort to warn the men there but they had heard the shots and were already on their way down when they met Cameron. They decided that since both men were most likely dead the wise thing to do was to prepare for defence of those in the Fort. (they did not know a the time that Wasburn was not killed but taken prisoner.) The next morning on going to the farm they found the body of Johathon Minear but no trace of Washburn. By examining the trail of the Indians they found one track different from the rest and decided that Washburn had been taken prisoner. As soon as possible the settlers, led by David Minear, Jonathon's brother, followed the trail and on the second night caught up with the Indians. David Minear crawled near enough to spy out the positions and saw Washburn was there. The Camp was immediately attacked, two or three Indians killed and Washburn rescued. It is not known where Johathon was buried, but it is understood that it was east of St. George, West Virginia.

  --- Note: While it has been suggested that Delaney Washburn was a son of Benjamin Austin Washburn, that appears unlikely, unless B A had an early marriage which has as yet been undetected. It seems more likely that he was a son of either John or Thomas Washburn or of one of their older sons The tax records of Bourbon Co., Kentucky, which at that time covered a tract now comprised of 20 counties, in the 1790's lists not only Benjamin Washburn, but also Delaney, Elias and ?, which suggests that they came together to Kentucky as separate adults property owners. . Records also indicate that an Ann Washburn was married in 1786 in Paris, Bourbon Co. By the 1810 census, Delaney had settled near Middletown in what was then and still is Jefferson County, and is only 15 miles from that part of Shelby County in which Benjamin Washburn, Jr. lived in 1830. The Finleys were close neighbors of Delaney. It would be interesting to see if the Finleys were kin to the John Finley who had been captured and taken by Indians to central Kentucky in 1752, and who, after escaping, had accompanied Daniel Boone on his second foray into Kentucky in 1770-71.

---Although no documentary evidence of George’s existence has been found, the family oral history of the Shelby Co. KY Washburns holds that Benjamin Austin was accompanied to Kentucky by his brother George, who later moved north of the Ohio River. Perhaps some evidence will turn up if researchers are aware of this possibility.

---The following is from Revolutionary Pensioners, film # 972501 for Reverand Moses Washburn, R 11172.
Yancy Co NC April 1834 age 70 applied for pension. He was born in Culpeper Co Va 14 Aug 1763. In March 1780 he left Culpeper Co and went to Monogalia Co Va to see his brothers.
On this 29th day of April 1834 personally appeared before me Wm. Dickson one of the acting Justices of the Peace in and for the county of Yancey aforesaid the Rev. Moses Washburn a resident of the Blueridge in the county of Yancey and State of No.l Carolina aforesaid aged 70- years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath makethe following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the Act of Congress passed Jun 7, 1832.
That he was born in Culpeper Co in the State of Va according to an old record in his possession on the 14 Aug 1763. And sayeth that in the month of March 1780 he left the county of Culpeper and went up to the county of Monongalia to see his brothers where immediaetely after his arrival he volunteer into the service as a private for 6 months at Col Lowther's old fields under Capt Thomas Reed and Lieutenant Daniel Davidson and his brother Charles Washburn ensign and Isaac Richards first Sargent and says Their company acted under the orders of General Clark and Col. Wm. Lowther and at different times Capt. Joseph Grogary and his companay was with them and says he marched to Mannahocs Fort on Millrun a water course of Cheat River after the Indians that had been killing and murdering in that neighborhood and that on their approach the Indians fled from them they marched to Nutrals Fort a distance of sixty miles to the Monogalia river the Indians fled and again left us the melonchally duty of burying the dead.
They afterwards marched to John Jacksons fort a distance of thirty miles here the Indians had killed a few whites and carryed off some prisoners after burying the dead they pursued Indians down a water course called Middle Island but could not overtake them.
They then returned and marched to Clarksburg and says soon after they arrived at Clarksburg they were ordered again with Col Lowther at their head against the Indians. Three men having been killed by the savages on the Monongalia and nineteen in and about Tigar Valley and carried off three prisoners one of which was a small boy child, says they pursed and overtook the Indians and killed thirteen of them and retook the prisiones, but unfortunately in the skirmish the child was killed by some of the whites. And he says during this tour of six months marched from Fort to Fort and from place to place to drive the Indians and bury the dead along the frontiers - and says when his term of service expired he received a discharge in Clarksburg from his Captain Thomas Reed in the month of Sept 1780.
He says his second term of service was for six months as an Indian spy, that he and his brother Chalres Washburn both volunteered into this service in Clarksburg in the month of April 1781 under his former officers viz. Capt Reed and Lieut. Davidson and still under the command of Gen'l Clark and Col. Lowther.
Both the former spies had been killed by the Indians - and says their duty was to go from Clarksburg up Limestone Creek twenty five or thirty miles across the diving ridge to the waters of Middle Island and then turn North about the same distancethrough a rough mountainous county.
And then back to Clarksburg and rest a few days and start again with their knapsacks on their backs and guns on their sholuders and traverse nearly the same rout daily and nightly exposed to dangers from the wild beasts of the forrests and the tomahawk and scalping knife of the savages from these they had several hair breadth escapes. And says they suffered great hardships as they were exposed to all weathers and says when this term expired he received a discharge in Clarksburg from his Capt. Thomas Reed but this together with his other discharge was both lost or destroyed before he left Virginia.
He says he lost four of his brothers Charles Washburn was killed near Clarksburg soon after they quit the Spy Service - soon after this he says he returned to the county of Culpeper where he continued to live until the year of 1800 when he moved into North Carolina in Burke County and have cohntinued insaid county ever since until last winter when this part of Burke was struck off to make part of the new county of Yancey.
And he further saith that he knows of no living witness by whom he can prove his services and he further sayeth that he is not on any pension roll in this state nor no other State of United States and that this is the first time that he ever made application to b put on the pension roll of the US or any other state - sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.

    - ** Charles McKinney, (statment by cadams; I get kind of a kick out of this fellow. Here is a little story I have heard of this man. I don't know the location in this story but it goes like this. Mr. McKinney goes into the locale merchants store and ask for hats for all of his sons and the merchant replies, how many sons. Mr. McKinney says 18. Merchant says no way can a man have 18 sons. Mr. McKinney says I do. Merchant says you show me 18 sons and I'll give them all hats. So Mr. McKinney said I'll be right back, guess what? LOL Time to get serious now, back to book pages).
    -Charles McKinney was most likely the one researchers call "Blue Ridge Charles: or "The Forty Charlie." His descendent Estelena McKinney Harper says Charlie was born 1764-1774. His marker in the Charlie McKinney Cemetery on the head of Peppers Creek in McDowell County indicates a birth date of 1773 and a death date of 1852 (of course, the marker was placed much later and be subject to error). The marker echoes the information given by Uncle Jake Carpenter in his "Anthology of Death": he wrote that Charlie McKinney died 5/10/1852 aged 79. Estelena, however, cites an 1858 McDowell County record which indicates he was still living. Family tradition has Charles McKinney with four or more wives. One was Elizabeth Lowery, whom he married on 3/7/1813 in Burke County; she may have been the daughter of John Lowery. His other "wives" were: (2) Margaret ("Peggy") Lowery, also possibly daughter of John Lowery; (3) Sarah ("Sally") Hobson/Hopson, daughter of Benoni; and (4) Nancy Triplett, possibly the daughter of Thomas Triplett.
    -For his 40-plus children (from other sources I have heard 48, by cadams) we direct you to Estelena's book, Charles McKinney and Related Families. [Editor: see also Charlie McKinney (The Forty McKinney") in Vol I.]
    -Did charles leave Cane Creek and go to the Blue Ridge because of his "alternate lifestyle"? When did he go there? The 1815 tax list shows him with land on Cane Creek. Is this the 1769 grant of 100 acres to Charles McKinney that Estelena mentions on page 12 of her book? She cites deeds for 1200 acres of land in McDowell County which Charles transmitted to his children.
    -Charles was in Burke County in 1800 (census, p.773), 1810 (p.21), and 1830 (p.194).
