following is a piece that Jerry wrote for the Fiftieth Anniversay Celebration for Sundown
Farm held on September 12, 1987.
Although my fifty years started slightly before the beginning of the homestead my first
recollections were sometime after moving to the location where Harriett now resides.
These memories probably will not be in a chronological sequence and a subject will be
carried for a number of years to reach an ending
My earliest memory is of a birthday party of sorts for me. I believe Aunt Be was visiting
and she and mother baked a cake and took the cake and placed it on a trunk covered with an army blanket
3

and took a picture. I recall being bewildered by all the attention. Later we all went to Grandma Washburns
house and ate the cake.
My next memory is being chased by the rooster. At this time Daddy had built the straw covered chicken
house and I was playing in this area. Daddy was doing some carpentry work near where the old shop is
located. He had acquired some chickens and with the chickens were the meanest roosters that ever lived.
While playing around the chickens, who were running loose, I must have offended one of the roosters. He
began to chase me and since he was nearly as big as me I was doing my best to stay ahead of him
screaming "wooster", "wooster", as ran down across the bridge where Daddy was working. He did not
perceive this as being any great emergency but stopped sawing a board long enough to wave the saw at the
rooster, who gave up the chase, and went back to sawing on the board.
Although more hazy, I do remember being chased by a horse on the place where the Linch family lived.
Daddy had gone there for some reason that I don't recall and he had taken me and maybe Roy along and
he was doing something in a pasture with some fruit trees along the perimeters. I must have strayed too far
because I remember a horse chasing me. I made a hasty retreat back to the safety of my father. About
same time I remember Daddy deciding the barn should be moved from below the canal to above the canal
where it is not located. At this age it to me it seemed an impossible task but I remember playing and
watching Daddy work raising the building and putting skids under the barn and I vaguely remember the
barn being pulled by a team of mules.
My Next solid memory was the preparation for Mother to go to Golden Eagle School.Eagle School. I
remember the little trailer house and Daddy working to prepare it for us to live in. I was too young to
appreciate the work and difficulties that had to be overcome to be ready for the school year, but finally
Daddy left with the old Model A Ford pulling the trailer house. After and eternity of waiting Daddy
returned saying the trailer house was all setup and ready for us.
GOLDEN EAGLE MEMORIES
Other events of the summer escape me but I do remember leaving early one morning pulling a rickety
trailer with and old car axal for the wheels. The trailer, heaped up, held all our belongings to live the
school year. Time and distance move very slow for me but I remember eating a picnic lunch in the shade
of large popular trees at Hammit. Off we started after eating and it began to get hot. The sun was hot, the
kids were hot and the Model A Ford was hot. Somewhere on Hammit Hill the car got so hot that it quit
running and we were stalled. Sometime later after the car had cooled awhile a nice man stopped and got
the poor ole thing coaxed back to life and it ran fine so off for another try at climbing Hammit Hill. I don't
remember anymore trouble climbing the hill but I do remember being hot and thirsty.
Then we all began to hear the squeak. It wasn't bad to start but it progressively increased in loudness.
Squeak, sqwraak. SQUEEK, SQWRAAK! Mother worried and I was scared that surly a wheel was going
to fall right off at the next squeak. Mother must have also felt this way for I remember her stopping
several times at service stations and one stop was the Beacon Inn. I vaguely remember getting a cool soda
pop to drink but the thing that impressed me was this man putting nickels in this machine with glass sides
and pulling a handle. I could not understand this man wasting all that money and nothing was happening. I
had just seen my first slot machine.
The rest of the trip doesn't stand out in my memories except being very long. I do remember driving with
headlights, winding down the dirt road and Mother not knowing exactly where the entrance to the school
was in the dark. Finally Mother turned in a driveway and as the trailer house came in to view in the dim
headlights everyone said in unison "there it is", as the sight of a place to sleep was very welcome.

8. James Ambrus WASHBURN was born in March, 1860 in Barnesville, Bourbon County, Kansas. Near Fort Scott but no
longer a town. He died on October 14, 1941 at the age of 81 in Blackfoot, Idaho. At the State run mental hospital.
He was buried in October, 1941 at A separate plot that was never associated with his one-time wife who departed
years later. in Jerome Cemetery in Jerome, Idaho. Jerome Cemetery
James Ambrus was born on the family farm near Barnsville and Fort Scott, Kansas, where he lived until his parents
were murdered by a band of Civil War Bushwackers in September of 1864. He was four years old then.
James Ambrus together with the younger children, Benjamin Jerome, Daniel P., Jacob F., Mary Sally, Sarah
Catherine, and Andrew J. were placed under foster care, when their parents were murdered
The Court records show that Josephine Pangborn, Benjamin's sister, cared for them (for about the first year); and issued a
subpoena on the estate's administrators to reimburse her for supporting the children. Her subpoena included a detailed listing
of the food, clothing and care of the children from September 1864 to March 1866 for a total of about $1200.00. The children
were then apparently separated under the care of three different Court appointed Guardians. Invoices for 1868 show that
$89.14 was paid to Green Strickland for the benefit of Daniel P. Washburn; $178.23 was paid to John Underwood for the
benefit of Jacob F. and Andrew J. Washburn; and $356.57 was paid to Nathaniel Oates for the benefit of Benjamin Jerome,
Mary Sally, Sarah Catherine, and James Ambrus Washburn. Another Court document, dated 28 August 1869, again shows
Nathaniel Oates, John Underwood, and Green Strickland, as Guardians of the children.
Very little is known about how the children fared in their foster homes and later life, except for James Ambrus. He spoke
about an unhappy childhood. He also ran away from his foster home as a teenager to live with his brother, Benjamin Jerome.
Benjamin Jerome, who was 10 years older, had found work in Trinidad, Colorado. Benjamin Jerome and family moved
around a great deal and appeared on the 1890 Census for Arapahoe County, Colorado (near Denver) with younger brothers
James Ambrus and Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson, who was the youngest brother, was later killed by outlaws about 1895,
while driving a freight wagon outbound to the west from Pocatello, Idaho. His prized team of mules was later found among a
group of Mormons in Utah, laying suspicion upon them (or those known by them) as suspects in his murder.
As a young man, JAMES Ambrus was said to be rather good at fisticuffs. A story is told of him, when living in Trinidad,
Colorado as a young man, about an altercation with five Germans. He was said to have cleaned house with the lot of them and
put them all to flight.
In his younger days, he was something of an agnostic, but later became converted, joined the Seventh Day Adventist Church
and was ordained an Elder.
He was apparently gregarious for he loved to attend the old-time western country dances and sing-alongs. He had a good
singing voice and learned all the current songs. It was at one such event that he met Hattie Darling (Harriett Romanda Isabelle
Darling), his future bride.
More details about James Ambrus Washburn and his family are given in his accompanying family history.
Harriett Romanda Emily Isabelle "Hattie" DARLING and James Ambrus WASHBURN were married on November 3, 1887
in Trinidad, Colorado. Married in the Darling's home in a wedding put on by her mother.

Washburn and their family.
9. Harriett Romanda Emily Isabelle "Hattie" DARLING was born on February 12, 1866 in Topeka, Kansas. She was
buried in November, 1952 at She was buried in a plot unassociated with her one-time husband in Jerome Cemetery in
Jerome, Idaho. Jerome Cemetery near Jerome, Idaho
She died on November 28, 1952 at the age of 86 in Jerome, Idaho. She died at her home in Jerome while outside gathering
coal for the kitchen stove.

THIS IS MY MEMOIRS (In her own Words)
Susie K. (Yeager) Blakemore
December 4, 1961
I was born Susie Katherine Yeager November 12, 1883 on a farm in Indiana about 9 miles South of a town called Rensselaer.
Our only way to go places was by horse and wagon. I would take us two hours one way to go to town for the horses were
work horses. I can't remember my first year in school but we had to walk 3/4 mi by cutting through a slough and sand hills.
In winter it was rough going. Snow was deep and drifted in some places. I didn't have overshoes but I did have course high
button shoes. I had one pair of shoes a year. In summer I went barefooted and I thought I could hardly wait till it was warm
enough.
It was about when I was in the 4th grade when I finished Duffy's Readers that I thought I was getting along in my studies.
About then the school board decided to change books and buy new ones. Dad wasn't about to get us some new books which
cost around $9 which was a lot of money in those days. So my sister Catherine took it upon herself. She walked about a mile
and a half to the school board to get them and charged them. It was Geography, History, Arithmetic, Spelling Book, and
Physiology. We didn't get Grammar. I must have borrowed one. Those books lasted me through the 8th Grade. Ours was a
one room school. They called it center school. We had a big iron heating stove in the middle of the room in a big box of
sand. Attendance was about 18 or 20 kids. Children weren't compelled to go to school in those days.

I can remember only two of my teachers names. They were brothers. The younger brother's name was Frank May. The older
was G. E. May. That's the way he always signed it. He taught three years. He was my favorite teacher. My last teacher was a
woman. Was rare to have a woman. I graduated from the 8th Grade. I remember only once getting a roll of honor.
I don't know much about my older brothers and sisters schooling. I heard the rest say my brother William only went to the 4th
grade. My older brother, John, didn't get any more as both boys had to gather the corn crop in the fall. Indiana is a great corn
state. My sister, Anna was also kept home to keep house for the family as my Mother died when I was three years old. She
died of child birth, so I was the youngest of them all. I am the only living of my family. (As of now, 1975, Martha A.
Yeager, wife of William Yeager is still alive age 96.) (I, Susie am 91, will be 92 in Nov.)
I will try to describe our old homestead. our farm consisted of 160 acres. Some was sandy soil and some prairie land. Some
of it had to be tilled and a swamp drained so it could be cultivated. our house was a two story structure of 4 rooms. The
kitchen must have been an after thought for it was a leanto.
The barn as I remember it when I was small was built of poles. The roof and sides were covered with straw and prairie hay.
The cow shed was the same. They kept better care of their horses in those days. One morning we found the barn had caved in
but the horses weren't hurt. We always had ten or twelve head of cattle, two or three brood sows. About 10 acres of pasture
was fenced with rail fence. I used to try to walk all around that fence on the top rail. Guess I finally made it.
We also had two or three brood sows to take care of. Each of them had a brood once a year. In the summer it was my job to
pull weeds in the fields and the corn and feed them. In the fall I gathered acorns from a huge white oak tree in our front yard
and a black oak in the back yard, as they fell off. I'd enjoy watching them eat.
In after years Dad built a new barn, painted it red and a leanto on the end for the chickens. A new corn crib covered with hay
for a roof held our crop. (I don't know how many bushels of corn.)
We had two dozen chickens. We fed them wheat and corn. My sister, Kate and enjoyed hunting eggs. They nested
everywhere in the sprint on top of the corn crib and sheds. What fun near Easter when we started hiding eggs a few each
night and at Easter morning we would bring them out and have a feast. Didn't color them but once. My dad helped us color
them with rye, which is a bluish purple when it is a few inches high. I don't remember what color.
I don't remember much about brother, John -- he left home to work for himself. That left my brother William to run the
farm. My father was too old to work much only boss. I was elected to help plant corn. We had a corn planter you would ride
and a lever you clicked every for revolutions or 18 inches. After years they got another style of stringing the wire across the
fields. The wire had little knots every foot that would trip the boxes of corn and drop it on each side so graduated from that.
My next job was herding cows. They were turned out on the range tiberland and sloughs near by. The lead cow had a bell so
at night we would hunt cows. They would wander a mile away sometimes. Finally that gave out and I herded in the fields
after the hay was cut and to keep them off the corn fields. It was easier herding then. We raised timothy and red top.
But we always had milking to do night and morning. We were glad on the first cold frosty mornings to find a cow lying down
and sit in her warm place and milk her, for we were barefooted. We would strain the milk into crocks -- take them down in
the cellar -- wait for the cream to raise -we'd make butter. I was elected to churn butter a lot out under the old oak tree in the
front yard. I loved that old tree. I had a swing on one of its limbs.
I must tell about our first well -- walled in with boards and a wooden pump. The well was covered with wooden planks and
had a makeshift watering trough. Our job was to pump water for the stock in the summers. In after years we had a well
drilled -- this time close to the kitchen door and a nice big galvanized water tank. The water was kind of sulfur when you
pumped it out a lot. I must have been about ten or eleven then.
For recreation we went to Sunday School in the old School house. It was started by an old Baptist minister that lived on a farm
near by. We enjoyed going very much. ( I remember Mamma telling about an Evangelist Minister holding a series of
meetings at the school house. He had a portable organ that he played for the hymn singing. ( As a small child she hurried to
school in the mornings so she could try to play on it, the first she had ever seen. Hazel's note. )

26 June 2012
Sunday night Young Peoples Christian Endeavor met. I and my sister joined church when I was about 14 yrs. old. We were
baptized in a canal near by.
As time went on we had dances at private homes, square dancing, mostly sometimes party games.
There was another school house called Queen City school about a mile away. We had good times there. We called it our
Literary Society. We had recitations, singing or any kind of talent we could find.
That was about the time my brother, William, had his ponies and a top buggy. We thought we were going some. He used to
take me and my sister a lot.
It was about that time that I met my future husband, James A. Blakemore. His father, Mother, and youngest Sister, Dottie
lived on a farm owned by Joseph Grouns, a brother-in law. They were recently from Judson, Indiana but originally from
Chicago. Their Parents, Mary Louise Bouden and Edwin Blakemore were getting too old to work. Their youngest daughter
Dottie ran away at 15 years and married Elmer Clark. The added worry and stroke seem to hasten her mother's death on Dec.
22, 1898. Our own household broke up about this time. My Dad was getting to old to farm. Both boys were away working
so he rented the home place to my sister Anna and her husband, William Sigman. That left me and sister out so we got us a
job in town with a lady who kept roomers.
I was graduated in March from the 8th Grade and married in June, the same year. My sister and I had a double wedding, June
15, 1899. Her husband's name was Francis Coghill.
So we went on keeping house for Edwin Blakemore who stayed with us a year or two. It was poor pickings such a sandy run
down place. Or guess we were too young to know how. My husband was a city boy. That summer our husbands worked with
a threshing crew. She and I stayed at the farm and on week ends go get the men. We must have had a team of horses because
we had to go 6 or 7 miles and sometimes was hard to find which farm they were on. I remember we had lots of crabapples
and harvest apples so we made lots of butter that fall. We had to rustle our own wood from the woods near so we were kept
busy.
About this time a post office was established at Sharon about a mile and a half from the old homestead so it was closer to get
our mail. This induced us to get a daily paper. It also had a store and a Blacksmith shop.
Our neighbor, Lige Garrison, had a brother Willie Garrison in Versailles who told my husband about a chance to get a job at
the Brick Plant at $1.25 a day. He was a huge fat man but was so good to help us move up there. Joe Grouns drove one
wagon load.
We rented two very small rooms off Garrison's mail house for $2.00 a month. All four of our kids had the measles that
winter. Hazel was in the second grade.
The next summer we moved next door to the Hutchins house for $8. We had four rooms and rented one room to Frank
Mitchel and his wife for $2.00. We bought wood for $1.25 a load of poles. Those folks moved away after awhile. Althier,
age 14 months, came down with infantile paralysis known now as polio. No doctor knew how to treat it.
The rent was too high so we found a cheaper place. Again we rented a couple of rooms in the same house with Garrisons with
a leanto summer kitchen that was cold in the winter. This house was a couple of blocks off the town square across the switch
tracks. (Hazel's note: When husband Roy and I visited years later, the switch tracks were barely visible and the fairly large old
house had disappeared entirely.) Grandpa Edwin Blakemore was with me in this house... came while we were at the Hutchins
house. Being as much of a kid as the rest of us, he found any spills from the freight cars that were worth anything and we kids
carried it home, like raisins or beans etc. We could find as much as a bucket full of coal every once in a while. We always
had to carry water from someone's dug well. For washing, we had cistern filled from rain water from the roof.
Our fifth child was born after we moved to the McDaniel place. we named her Florence Helen after Florence Hart after Lafe
Hart's girl who married down on the Osage River to a nice young man and went to live in another town. She was stricken
quite suddenly with some malady and the broken hearted husband couldn't bear to have her buried in such a poor isolated
9
26 June 2012
place in the Ozark hills.
The McDaniel place was closer to the Plant, consisting of three rooms and two lots. We had potatoes planted on a little
gravely plot which didn't do very well in poor soil and lack of rain. It was the kids job to pick off the potato bugs when they
hatched and drop them into a little bucket of kerosene to kill them or burn them. Grandpa supervised this operation and then
it would be story time. He propped his feet up in a little plum tree in the shade and the kids were rewarded with a story.
It was here that Grandpa was stricken with a bad cough on one of his visits to Linn Creek on the Osage River and burst a
blood vessel in his lungs. By that time he was hauled thirty miles to Versailles to the undertaker; but he was shipped back to
Ind. and buried in a cemetery close to his family beside Grandma Mary.
About this time my Father, Matthew Yeager, died in Indiana. The old homestead was sold and divided among five heirs.
After expenses were paid, my share was $182.00
Our landlord sold his house so the next place was still closer to the Brick Plant in West Lawn. I had three rooms and we
called it the little green house. We loved it because there were volunteer petunias and cosmos flowers that bloomed every
year as well as rose moss in two old wash tubs in the front yard.
My husband had a chance to get a job with the Gould Construction Company out of East Alton, Ill. and in Indiana so I and the
kids batched for awhile. It was here that I got typhoid fever. Dad had to come home for awhile. A daughter of Willie
Garrison, Belva Ellis, died of typhoid and I visited and went to her funeral. I either caught it from her or else from the cistern
water.
While my husband was working in East Alton his foreman Mr. Gorman fell from some of the bridgework to his death. He
was temporary foreman for awhile but was replaced by a more skilled man.
About that time we got a letter from my sister, Kate Coghill, telling us that they had moved to Idaho on a farm that my brother
had bought. It was an irrigation tract newly opened up by the North Side Land and Water Company. They said it was a good
place for a poor man. And that the climate was good for her man's health which proved out as he had T.B.
My husband caught a freight from the Kansas wheat fields and hitched a ride on a freight train to Idaho. He came in the early
fall to look the situation over and stayed.
A neighbor of ours in Versailles, Lige Williams, told us about a children's Hospital in Kansas City called the Mercy Hospital
for crippled children. He happened to be there when they were putting on a drive for funds. So he took Althier to find out if
they could help her. Her legs and tendons were shriveled and bent to a sitting position. They operated and put her on
crutches and leg braces. She turned six and had been able to go to school some. My brother bought a ticket for her and
brought her home the following fall.
The long train ride to Idaho was one big thrill. We shipped some of our furniture and bedding ahead and got started,
somehow. Stayed all night with some neighbors, Lafe (Lafayette) Hart Family. They had a big family and with our four it was
a mess. Don't know how they bedded us down. Mrs. Hart fixed us a big lunch with lots of sandwiches to take along. Pappy
Hart as we called him walked us to the train across town, each one of us carrying something in boxes and bundles and
suitcases. It took us three days and two nights. The lunch was gone and everybody was hungry and no place to buy any so
we were not in a good humor. Nov. 12 was my birthday and I was 32 years old. We landed on Nov. 13, 1915.
Dad met us with team and wagon. The wagon had straw for the kids to burrow into and cover up with blankets. We came in
on a freight train loaded with sheep about nine o'clock. When the train stopped I was in the aisle and kept going which set off
a chain reaction. I bumped into Florence and banged her head against the seat. She in turn bumped Bud's sore heel from a
blister. Dad could hear the kids above the bleating of the sheep and he knew we had arrived.
It seemed a nice short ride to the farm and the wagon in the dry sand hardly made any noise. ( Hazel's note: When I jumped
out of the wagon into the soft sand I thought I was in Missouri mud. I yelled, "Be careful, there's mud all around here." The
folks never let me forget it.)

26 June 2012
The men folks had a job running a school wagon that first winter. By that time Dad had acquired a team of horses and the dry
sand that was in the driveway soon turned into mud then snow and ice. It took 1-1/2 to 2 hours to drive that route and longer
on the worst days. Even with four horses there was no bottom to the ungraded roads. But Spring came and the water soaked
away.
The wagon was a canvas enclosed affair with seats running lengthwise and holding about fifteen kids. There was a curtain
between the kids and the driver for warmth with just a little glass peek hole. on the bitterest days the driver could put down a
curtain in from of his seat with just a hole for the lines to go through to drive the horses. The School Board came up with
some charcoal burner foot warmers for cold feet and if they covered up their feet with blankets it helped. It took so long to
get the charcoal started to burning in the mornings and sometimes it didn't start at all and was not very reliable.
We stayed that winter with my sister and family in a three room tar paper shack and not big rooms either. The men built on
another room before spring when the weather permitted. It was a tough winter with ice and snow freezing the canals and
having to haul water from Jerome in a water tank on a wagon for the stock and household use. This had to be done on
Saturday when the horses were free from the school wagon.
The men bought a 40 A. plot adjoining my bro's. place on the south and hauled in a Hollister shack from out of the sage brush
that was somebody else's prove up shack for the Hollister Co. They built a leanto kitchen on it and that was our next move.
There was no water except a little run off from irrigation and we had to haul water from a neighbor who obligingly piped
water out to the road from his water tower and deep well. To keep it cool we filled a canvas water bag and hung it on the
shady side of the shack.
The men got a little work in the spring with a team and scraper on the canal to clean it out for the next water run.
There was a good stand of alfalfa and the men had work three cuttings of hay and helped the neighbors. It was mowed, raked
in wind rows then the dump rake went down the wind rows and raked the hay into shocks. The hand work began then by
making bigger shocks with a pitch fork as the hay cured in the Idaho sun. These shocks were then loaded on hay slips drawn
by a team of horses up to the hay derrick. Here another team of horses pulled the load of hay by cables to the top of the stack
as high as the pole would reach. The hay was stacked and rounded off to top it out.
To save hay the kids had a job herding cows along the ditches and coulee in the spring. It was a lonely job but there were
three about the same age to keep each other company.
That summer our 5th child was born. We named her Eugenia Beth. That same fall bro. Bill brought Althier out to Idaho
during his annual vacation. She was on braces and crutches and was helped except there was no place for her to walk in the
shack or outside in the sand.
It was hard to get used to the dust storms in the spring. About March it would blow hard every day and keep it up until May.
Our shack wasn't tight and plenty of sand blew in. We wouldn't wash our dishes until we used them for it was no use. We had
to haul our water to use for everything.
We sold the 40 to my bro. as it joined his 40A. That way we paid for my ticket to Jerome and one for Althier. My bro.
worked for the Railroad and rode free of charge.
That next spring my husband found a job on a sheep ranch with a young man and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Marion Betty, near
the Canyon across the road from the Geasling. Our house was three rooms out in a sandy field, square, plastered walls and
nicer than any we had lived in. No water again. We had to haul drinking water and domestic water until they did fix a
cistern.
It was here we finally got our Mountain Hack so we had a better way to go places. It was a sturdy canvas enclosed two seated
spring wagon. We could raise or lower the canvas curtains. We thought we had something... paid 100 dollars for it.
We must have stayed here two years. The sheep ranch went broke and we moved back to Bro. Bill's place with my Sister's
family. They had a deal going on to buy Jacobson's Rooming House in Jerome but could not move until November.

By this time they had bought a screened and floored tent for an extra summer bedroom. We put two beds our small kitchen
stove and a table in the tent and two beds in the granary.
Our second boy James Junior was born Oct. 17, 1918. That fall Elma Coghill my niece and Bud came down with the Small
Pox. We were vaccinated all around even the baby, Jimmy, 5 days old.
This was the first winter of the flu and for some reason we never had it. Schools were closed for three months. We got
through the winter some how. Next winter we were not so lucky and the whole family came down except Dad. He had all the
chores and cooking to do by himself.
World War I came to a close and the Armistice was celebrated in the streets of Jerome. We had no telephone and no way of
knowing until the next day or two.
The next winter after that we rented the Lige Graham place. It was a small two bedroom, living room, kitchen and pantry and
built on a rock pile. There was a large orchard, a root cellar and cistern. We still had to haul our drinking water from the
neighbors or from town. We lived here five years and bought our first car, a model T Ford, second hand. It ran
most of the time but the men folks had it apart some of the time. We enjoyed it when it did run. We traded a horse for it.
one year we raised sorghum cane. Then men cut it and brought it to the barn where the women and kids stripped the outer
leaves ready for the grinder. We had a man come on the place with his cooker and boil the juice until thick. He took his pay
in molasses so we had sorghum a long time. It was a tedious job but we did it the hard way.
I took seriously ill with a ruptured appendix and Dr. Schmershall had to take me to the Twin Falls Hosp. in his car over Blue
Lakes grade and rough roads. ( Hazel's note: She stayed ten days and made a remarkable recovery. She also had an abscess on
her liver. I came over to Twin Falls and stayed until the crises was over and then went back to Albion. This was the Spring
of 1922. )
Little Jean died May 15, 1923 from bad burns when Edgar Grouns started a fire with gasoline, accidentally, and she was one
of the little kids that ran out side still on fire.
Stanley Gale was born Feb. 14, 1925
Be left for Nurse's training in Boise with Marguarite Humphrey in Sept. 1925.
Stanley died Jan 21, 1927 after a short illness. He had measles followed by pneumonia and spinal meningitis. He was 1 year
11 months and 15 days.
We stayed one more year and the place was sold. The next fall we moved in the Gardner house on the little hill close by until
spring when we got ready to move to Bridgeport, Oregon. Bud had gone ahead and helped plow and seed some land for his
brother-in-law Roy Washburn.
On February 2, 1929 Harriett Washburn, our first grandchild was born to Hazel and Roy. When school was out for Althier,
Florence and Jimmie in May we headed west in a Model-T Ford and all our earthly belongings loaded in a two wheel trailer.

dated 24 June 1987, William F. Strobridge, Assistant Vice President, replied as follows:
"Reuben W. Washburn served as the first Banking Manager for Wells Fargo & Co., arriving in San Francisco in July 1852.
He is mentioned in Loomis' Wells Fargo, (1968), page enclosed. Mr. Washburn simultaneously proved to be a pioneer in
California's nursery and garden industry. With his business partner, J. L. Sanford, he advertised strawberry plants in the The
California Farmer of March 15, 1855 (Vol. III, No. 11).
We have no record of Benjamin G. Wasbhurn, nor is he listed in San Francisco business directories of the era. Bank records

near Kansas border).
Dear Sister.
It is with special care that I take the presence of mind of writing you a few lines, since it
has been some time since I wrote you. I could no see any change in the mares, so I just
neglected writing.
Old Kit cannot work on her lame foot, some days she cannot work, and Old Flora just the same. I traded
her off. I traded her and the pack for a pair of mules. The Boys have been home for some time since they
went down to Arkansas. They seemed to like it there very much. They both seem to be satisfied with the
work they had done down in Arkansas. Becha both of them are wearing bruises.
I expect that you knew Ethel and Frank had a baby girl. I have not yet gone to see her. I have wrote to a
doc about the baby but don't know if he has come to see her or not; but I presume Ethel has told you all
about it. Ethel had a pretty hard time. She was bedfast for about a month, but she is alright now and the
baby looks fine.
Well Julydia, I have had such a queer dream lately, I think I must tell you about it. I do not know where
the place was but it was my home and you came to visit me and we had a plum and cherry orchard and it

was about the finest sight that I have ever seen. The trees were not our cherries or plums. They were only
about 5 foot three inches in diameter. They were very nice trees and they were all in full bloom and such
blooms, and such blooms I never expect to see with my natural eyes. The blooms were not like plums and
cherries but like chrysanthemums. and each twig was full of solid bloom for about eight or ten from the
top down and they were of the purest white and a very delicate yellow. It was lovely to behold. an when
we came to the house you were standing in the door and you were young and beautiful and just the right. .

were the older and I asked you how it was you seemed to be so young and handsome and I was old and
gray, but did not find out for I then awakened. but I should like to see the sight naturally, but never expect
to.
Well I will close for the present, hoping to hear from you soon. We are all well and hope you and yours
folks are. Give my love to all from your Bother. Jerome

age of 73 in St. Paul, Minnesota. She was buried on March 25, 1929 in Westcliff,
Colorado. Letter from Mary Sally Washburn Burkhardt to Elizabeth Parr Thompson, her
half sister. Written about 1892. (The first part is missing.)
Since I was there that was her 10th one. I do not know if she has had any more or not.
Mandy was married and gone from home when I was there. Julidia said she had a good
man and Mary married Frank Warring. They had one child, a boy, the last I heard.
Charley and Julidia live a dreadful life I tell you. I think some of the time she is more to
blame than he is for she does not do as well as she might. For they had some five or six cows running with
the calves and butter 30 cents a pound and no milk nor butter to use. And besides she let the children go
stark naked, that is the four youngest. And Edward was quite a big boy. Then and the day I was there, she
was a crying because the neighbors had given them some half worn clothes for her and him and the
children. There was not one that had enough to hide the nakedness and it was quite cold already. It just
kept Charles from buying something better. I did I felt awkward with him, for they had a good pile of land
and quite a number of cattle. Cows was worth 35 or 40 dollars a head. It is dreadful when people get so
helacious. I declare, I do not know what will become of them if they continue in that way.
I have never heard from Jan (believed to be Georgia Anna Warring, Simon's exwife). I heard that she put
her children out and got married again and she had him parted. I tell you it would take Satan himself to
live with her. Oh such a life as poor Sime (Simon) did live. I was so sorry for him, I know it was horrid.
They had five nice children, four boys and one girl. Oh a heartless woman, how could she do such a thing.
I cannot see how.
As for old neighbors, I cannot tell you much about. I had a letter from Emma Oats, it used to be but is
Emma Scot now. She has been married twice. I had a letter from her about three years ago. Her Mother
and Father was living then. She has had lots of trouble, poor girl. Her first husband died and then about
two years later her home was blown away by a cyclone. She and her two children made their escape.
I must close for this will ware you out. I did not mean to talk so long. I surely hope this will ...11 in better
health. It is so bad to be sick. Please do write if you are able. Have you got any girls? If so, what do you

vii. Andrew Jackson WASHBURN was born in 1862 in Barnesville, Bourbon County, Kansas. He died in
1884 at the age of 22 in Pocatello, Idaho. Killed in an ambush of his freight wagon just outside of
Pocatello, Idaho by an outlaw group. His prize team of mules later turned up in a Mormon community
near Salt Lake City, leading to the strong suspician that the Mornons or those associated with the
Mormons staged the ambush.
18. Jonathan DARLING was born on May 22, 1826. He died in 1908 at the age of 82 in Lamar, Colorado. He was of
Dutch descent Sarah Bolds and Jonathan DARLING were married on September 15, 1846 in Salina. Kansas.
John Darling Homesteaded land near Coffeville, Kansas. He also hunted buffalo for their hides and later owned a contry stor
in Coffeville.
He went to the California Gold Rush in 1849, where he stayed about three years.
About 1875 he and family moved to a ranch about twenty-five miles northwest of Trinidad, Colorado.
After a few years, he moved the family to a ranch in Grand Junction County, Colorado, near the boarder with New Mexico.
There was Indian trouble which soon caused him to move the family back to their previous ranch in Trinidad County, where
they remained a number of years raising cattle on the open range. In a struggle for range land, his sons John and Ben were
convicted of cattle rustling. They had hidden hides from the rustled cattle down an old well. The hides were discovered and
provided evidence for a conviction. John Senior provided financial restitution to save his sons from the gallows, which left
him financially ruined and required to leave the ranch.
John moved the family again, for the last time to the little mining town of Carrizo, in Baca County. There he homesteaded
land and aquired an adjoining country store and post office and built a home where he lived the rest of his life.

20. Edwin Blakemore was born on March 4, 1839 in Liverpool, England. He was born on April 3, 1839 in Liverpool,
England. He was buried in April, 1914 in Rensselaer, Indiana. Edwin died on April 17, 1914 at the age of 75 in Linn Creek,
Missouri. Mary Louisa Boden and Edwin Blakemore were married on July 18, 1865 in Chicago, Illinois.
The first record of Edwin Blakemore was found in the British Census for 1841 in Liverpool. He is recorded as being two
years of age and Liverpool as place of birth on March 4, 1839. The Census records include a sister, Mary, born June 1837,
deceased March 27, 1837; and a brother Allen (the second child born into the family), deceased November 14, 1842. Both
are interred in the St. James Cemetery at Liverpool, England.
When the family emigrated to America in 1850 it consisted of James Blakemore (nurseryman), his wife Sarah Jones
Blakemore, Joseph (age 21; then listed as a gilder), George (age 15), and Edwin (age 11). Edwin's father remained in the
nursery business for many years. He is remembered to tell how people marveled at his apple trees with several different
kinds of apples grafted on one tree.
Edwin Blakemore suffered a severe knee injury during his youth that crippled him for the rest of his life. He was said to
have been shaping railroad ties with an ax, which slipped and cut into his knee, releasing the knee joint oil. The doctor who
treated the injury, knowing that the knee would no longer be movable, set the leg in a bent (gimpy) position to facilitate
walking. The gimpy knee exempted him from service in the Civil War.
Edwin's trade was a gilder, the same as his two brothers. He is recorded as gilder in the Rochester City Directories from
1861 through 1863, the Chicago City Directories from 1864 through 1875, and again in 1877-78. They must have moved to
Chicago to be near parents, James and Sarah, who were growing old. A photograph of Sarah from this era remains in the
family and she appears quite old.
Edwin married Mary Louisa Boden on July 18, 1865 in Chicago. He was 26 and she was 21. He had been married to a girl
in Buffalo, New York previously, but any information about a divorce or her death is unknown.
Grandpa Edwin's picture gilding factory thrived in Chicago for about 6 years until it was wiped out in the holocaust of the
Great Chicago Fire destroyed of 1871. Insurance companies were unable to pay him and others, so the business was lost;
and they moved to San Francisco to try anew. After about six months of failure and Grandma Mary's terror of earthquakes,
they returned to Chicago.They had three children then: Ralph, Jennie, Maude, and Julie who was a babe in arms. They told
of how Indians came aboard the train along the way to try to sell their crafts or beg. The conductor warned the passengers
not make them angry. They called Julie a white papoose, and wanted to feel her white skin to see if it was real. Grandma
Mary wanted to be nice to the Indians so they would go away sooner, and gave them a piece of cheese from their lunch. The
Indian took a good smell of it, decided from the odor that it was spoiled, and tossed it out the window with a grunt.
Upon returning to Chicago, Edwin's luck at finding work or a new business seemed even worse. Little Ralph died at an early
age of diphtheria, which was a major child killer before the discovery of an antitoxin. Grandpa Edwin slipped and fell upon
trying to board a street car and sustained and injury that confined him to bed for months. An attempt to obtain compensation
from the street car company failed. Grandma Mary then worked at private nursing to sustain the family until the children
could begin working.

26 June 2012
One of the few jobs that Grandpa Edwin had after the street car accident was working in a saloon cleaning up. For holidays
or special occasions in the saloon, he is said to have shined the big mirror over the bar and painted it with a decoration of
white and colored Bon Ami, appropriate for the time (such as a turkey for Thanksgiving). He was also gifted for painting in
gold leaf. It was thought that he could have gotten a better job; but he had developed a weakness for liquor and finally lost
the job in the saloon.
Edwin and Mary spent their later years, as they had become to old to work, on a farm near Rensselaer, Indiana, which
Joseph Grouns, husband of their daughter Julie had bought to make a home for them. After about a year there, Grandma
Mary died from a stroke at age 54 on December 22, 1898. She was interred at a small cemetery near the farm on the
outskirts of Rensselaer in Milroy County. Grandfather, James Andrew Blakemore, remembered that they sang "Peace Be
Still" at her funeral.
Grandpa Edwin then moved from family to family among his children's homes. One place he stayed was with daughter,
Maude Owens, where he worked in a paint store at Harvey, Illinois. He came to live with the family of son, James Andrew
Blakemore at Versailles, Missouri about 1912 or 1913. He loved to visit grand daughter, Pearl Grouns Welcher, down on the
Osage River, near Linn Creek, Missouri. It was on one such visit that he had a hemorrhage in the lungs, resulting from a
chronic cough of many years. He was dying and it was 30 miles to the nearest doctor, so he passed away on April 17, 1914.
His body was later brought the 30 miles over a rough, rocky road from Linn Creek to Versailles to an undertaker, who
prepared his body for the last journey back to Indiana. Our Dad, James Andrew Blakemore, went with the body back to
Rensselaer, where it was interred beside Grandma, Mary, in the same small cemetery, on April 23, 1914. It was called
Benson Cemetery then; but is now known as Milroy Cemetery, located in Milroy Township, Jasper County (rural
Rensselaer), Indiana.
21. Mary Louisa Boden was born on October 20, 1844 in Cape Vincent, New York. She was buried on November 22, 1898
in Rensselaer, Jasper, Indiana, United States. A little country cemetery. She died on December 22, 1898 at the age of 54 in
Edwin Blakemore and Mary Louisa Boden had the following children:
i. Ralph Blakemore was born in 1866. He died on May 16, 1874 at the age of 8. Ralph died of diptheria.
ii. Jennie Smith Blakemore was born on September 24, 1868 in Chicago, Illinois. Jennie married Louis
Dutcher, date is unknown; and they lived in Florida.
Their family included twins, Myrtle and Milly, born in 1888. Myrtle married Mr. Rooms.
The other children were Louis, Oliver, and twins, Ruth and Ester.

Matthew Yeager was born on April 26, 1824 in Alsace, Germany. He emigrated to the United States to escape conscription
in the German Army. He died on October 12, 1912 at age 88 and is buried at Battleground, Indiana, Tippecanoe County.
He married at the age of 46 to Mary Holtz.
Mary Holtz (Maria Mitilda Aultz) was born on March 25, 1844 in Germany and Married Matthew Yeager in 1870 at the age
of 26. She was said to have worked in the fields on their farm, during harvest time. She died in childbirth on September 28,
1886 at the age of 42. She is buried at the Catholic cemetery in Remmington, Indiana, where the grave is covered with a
Catholic memorial.
The following are the family of Matthew Yeager and Mary Holtz:
John Baptist Yeager - was born on January 2, 1871 near Rensselaer, Indiana. He married Minnie Byrick on November 14,
1903. They had two sons, whose names are unknown. John was said to be a man of medium height and build and he wore a
mustache. He ran a dray service in Kankakee, Illinois. It was said that there was occasionally friction between John and
Minnie and he slept in the barn sometimes. Minnie died in January 1946. A week later John died, following 10 years of
illness from a stroke. The name of one son was known to be George. There may have been other children.
Anna Margaret Yeager was born on November 17, 1873 and died on February 23, 1942. She married William Sigman on
May 30, 1897. Their children were: Clara Rose, born in May 1892; Hattie Alice, born October 1, 1902; and Homer Alva,
born May 24, 1909.
William Matthew Yeager - was born on October 28, 1874 in Rensselaer, Indiana; and died October 23, 1950 at Anaheim,
California, age 76. He married Martha Alice Van Cleve Ollemetz on December 16, 1916 in Chicago, Illinois. William
completed school only to the fourth grade. At age 21 he left for a logging camp in Minnesota. An early acquaintance was
George Graves, a lineman, who was instrumental in getting William a job as a lineman. George Graves retired in the Jerome,
Idaho area; and led William into buying land there, also.
Mary Katherine was born on August 19, 1875 and died August 15, 1890 of diphtheria. It is thought that she contracted
diphtheria while staying with relatives in Remmington, Indiana to take he first communion in the Catholic Church. Grandma
and Grandpa Blakemore went to the funeral and, upon returning home, changed their clothes in the woodshed, as a safeguard
against bringing the disease into their home and family.
Catherine Mary Yeager - was born on August 8, 1880 at Rensselaer, Indiana and died on February 13, 1947 in Los Angeles,
California at age 67. She married Frank Marion Coghill on June 15, 1899 at Rensselaer, Indiana. Their children were:
Helen Elizabeth, born June 5, 1902 (married Jack Lind and had one daughter, Jean Helen, later married Robert Hansen); and
Elma Francis (married Stanley Swanson).
Susan Katherine Yeager - was born November 12, 1883 in Rensselaer. She married James Andrew Blakemore on June 15,
1899 at Rensselaer in a double wedding with her sister, Catherine. The children of Susan and James are given in a vignette

Microcopy, Roll 432, Page 530, Review 133. D. N. 669, F. N. 781, September 2, 1850.
The last name is mispelled in this Census - Blakeman instead of Blakemore.
The family is also listed in the 1860 Census for Rochester.
By 1870 all three sons and their families had moved to Chicago, Illinois. Joseph and Edwin are listed in the Chicago
directories from 1864, George from 1868. The occupation for all three sons was listed as gilder.
A death notice for James was found in the Rochester Library newspaper files for 12/1/1861. Sarah Jones and James
Blakemore were married.
James married Sarah Jones (a red head) in England and all their children were born in Liverpool, England. The family
immigrated to Rochester, New York about 1848, where he engaged in the nursery business. James' brothers settled in the
Southern States.
The Blakemore family is one-half German, one-fourth French, and one-fourth English. The following is the English side of
the family. The information was collected by Gladious Hazel Washburn, Blossom Valerie Grouns Peterson, and Althier
Bernett Blakemore Klickman from the family Bible and from Census information on microfilm.
James Blakemore was born about 1799 in England. He married Sarah Jones (a red head) who was also born in England. All
of their children were probably born in Liverpool. The English Census of 1841 lists James as a gardner, working at the
Liverpool Botanical Gardens. They had two children who died in England; Alan at age 11, interred at St. James Cemetery,
and a wee daughter Mary who died as an infant and is also interred at St. James Cemetery. The family immigrated to
Rochester, New York on July 31, 1850, where James was engaged in the nursery business and later became a gilder. His
brothers also immigrated from England and were said to have settled in the Southern States. The children of James
Blakemore and Sarah Jones are listed as follows, together with their vignettes.
1. Joseph Blakemore -- married a Sarah, also. He was a gilder and an artist, although it is uncertain if painting was just a
hobby or not. One of his small oil paintings is still in the family. Since he was the eldest, it is thought he pursued the nursery
business with his father in Rochester and then learned the gilding
trade. He moved to Chicago (about 1868) and
continued in the nursery and floral business initially. Later he was in the gilding business soley. Joseph was well educated
and had a good collection of library books in his home. His personality was said to be very different from his brother Edwin
(Grandpa).
At some period before 1880, Joseph and Sarah move to Atlanta, Georgia, where she died in 1880. Joseph returned to
Chicago. There he purchased a cemetary lot where he and some other family members are interred.
In later years, George was disowned by his family because he became associated with the disappearance of some funds from
a Masonic Lodge; a suspicion from which he was never able to clear himself. When he became too old to work, he stayed
with Grandpa Edwin, his youngest brother. It was here where Aunt Dot (Edwin's youngest daughter) found his body one
morning when she went up stairs to call him for breakfast. He had taken his life with poison (January 21, 1891), in a fit of
despondency. His children were: Frank, Carrie, Harry, Mabel, and Mortimer.
Mortimer (Monty) married Mary
Elizabeth Cook, who died with cancer of the face. Aunt Julie went to see Joseph at Harvey, Illinois before she went to
Indiana on the farm, knowing it would be the last time she saw him.
2. George Blakemore -- moved to Chicago about 1864 and then to St. Paul, Minnesota after his marriage in Chicago to
Emma Reilly, a Catholic. Emma was a small, wiry, pretty woman (later she became plump).
George continued in the gold gilding trade and Emma began the Fernwood Hotel and Boarding House, which was said to be
more profitable than the guilding business. They raised a lovely, well-mannered, good-looking family, as reported by
Mildred Sunderland (a cousin), who knew them when she lived in Chicago. The eldest son, Arthur Healy, studied to be priest
but gave it up finally. He was said to be very handsome. There were 12 children including: George Edwin, William Clarence,
Della, Eva, and Lemuel. George Edwin married a lady named Budget Agnes. Lemuel married had a son whose name was
Lemuel, also.
3. Harriet Blakemore -- whose married name is unknown. She lived in England and visited Chicago once with her little
boy, who endured much teasing, especially by Father (James, Son of Edwin), who delighted in smearing mud on his little

Lord Fauntalroy suit, after his Mother had cleaned him up and sent

was about 9 yeears old. He moved to Chicago about 1864 where he did decorating and fancy scroll work on picture frames
and mirrors. He liked that kind of work and it was in vogue in that era. His story continues in a vignette under his name.
41. Sarah Jones was born (date unknown).
James Blakemore and Sarah Jones had the following children:
i. Mary Blakemore died on March 27, 1837 in Liverpool, England. She was born in June, 1837 in
Liverpool, England. She was buried on March 27, 1838 in Liverpool, England. Mary was buried in
Liverpool, England.

11 in Liverpool, England. He was buried in Liverpool, England.
iii. Joseph Blakemore was born on September 21, 1828 in Liverpool, England. He died on January 21, 1891
at the age of 62 in Fernwood, Illinois. Joseph was said to be an artist but it is not known if he was a
hobby or not. The family still has one of his small oil paintings. Since he was the oldest, the family
believed that he engaged in the nursery business with his Father in Rochester. They moved to Chicago
and continued the nursery and floral business.
Joseph was well educated and had a good collection of books in their home. He was a very different
person than his brother, Edwin. In later years he was disowned by his family because he became involved
with funds from the Masonic Lodge that disappeared. Although he was innocent, he could never prove it
and was unable to clear himself of suspicion.
After he had become too old to work, he stayed with Grandpa Edwin, his youngest brother. It was here
that Aunt Dot, Edwin's youngest daughter found him one morning when she went upstairs to call him for
breakfast. He had taken poison in a fit of despondency to end his life on January 21, 1891. His children
were Carrie, Harry, Mable and Monty, whose wife was Agnes. Monty died of cancer of the face. Julie
went to see him at Fernwood before she went to Indiana on the farm.

at the age of 84 in Chicago, Illinois. He was buried on October 12, 1919 in Oakland
Cemetery, St Paul, Minnesota. George moved to St. Paul, Minnesota time and date
unknown.
He married a small, wiry, pretty Catholic woman, Emma Reilly. They raised a lively,
well mannered, good looking family of 12 children. The oldest son studied to be a priest
but gave it up finally. He was very handsome according to Mildred Sunderland, a cousin
who knew him. There was also Eva and Lemuel, whom none of the family remembered.

New York. The Blakemore family is one-half German, one-fourth French, and one-fourth English. The following
23
26 June 2012
information about the French branch of the family was collected by Gladious Hazel Washburn, Blossom Valerie Grouns
Peterson, and Althier Bernett Blakemore Klickman from the Blakemore family Bible and from Census information on
microfilm.
This branch of the family begins with Forton P. Boden (Bouden or Bodan) who was thought to be a French Catholic. The
name was probably Americanized to Boden.
Forton P. Boden was born about 1756 in Marseilles, France in the era that came partly under the reign of Louise XV. He was
succeeded by his young son Louise XVI who was beheaded during the French Revolution. We assume that Forton brought
his family to Canada where he followed his trade as a seaman on the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes.
Andrew Boden was the son of Forton Boden and was born about 1802 in Canada. His occupation was a mason. Andrew
Boden married Julia King in Cape Vincent, New York. Their children are listed as follows, together with short vignettes for
each.
1. Frank Boden -- was in the hotel business in Chicago. His wife, Aunt Eliza, was evidently well to do and always brough
Christmas presents for Grandma (Mary and Edwin Blakemore) and the family. At other times she brought food and clothing.

them for visits. They had no children.
2. Edward Boden -- was born about 1834 in Cape Vincent, New York. He was a steamship cook on the Great Lakes. He had
all his teeth at the age of 80 years old. His wife, May, was quiet, dignified, and lady like. She had dark hair and dark eyes.
Their daughter, Lura, was beautiful and a wonderful musician. She played the piano and sang.

Illinois. They had two boys and a girl. One boy, Harman, was a Page Boy in the Senate. Daughter, Florence, had scarlet fever
at the age of 16. She went out in the rain and cold, and was scolded for it. Afterwards it was thought that she went up to her
room but instead she disappeared and remained missing for six months. Nothing was spared in time or money in a search for
her. Finally her body was found in the Chicago River where she had apparently thrown herself in a fit despondency, soon
after her scolding. Her body was identified from a ring and from the clothing. Grandpa Blakemore told of how he and
Grandma learned about it first and went over to tell Elizabeth and Henry, who remained in shock about the incident for years
after.
4. Tillie (Matilda) Boden -- was born about 1839 in Cape Vincent, New York. She married a sea captain from the Great
Lakes. Several sons and one daughter were born. Daughter, Grace, married an influential man in Chicago. A girl and a boy

because they were so poor. Grandpa could never seem to get started in any business after the Great Chicago Fire. She died on
December 22, 1898 at age 54 and rests in a little country cemetery near Rensselaer, Indiana. She is the Grandmother to those

John moved to Bridgewater somewhat later where he was a proprietor and the second largest landholder in town. He had
"four property shares" located in the east and southwest quarters of town, and rights to the undivided lands equivalent
altogether to about one-twelfth of the original purchase. He sold the lands, given to him by his Father, at Green's Bay near
Duxbury in 1670. John was one of 54 men considered to be founders of Bridgewater, Plymouth, Massachusetts. Elizabeth
MITCHELL and John WASHBURN IX were married on December 6, 1645 in Duxbury, Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Twelfth Generation
2048. John WASHBURNE VIII was born on July 2, 1597 in Bengeworth, Evesham, Worchester, England. He was
baptized on July 2, 1597 in Bengeworth, Evesham, Worchester, England. He emigrated on January 2, 1631 from Plymouth
Colony in America. John died in 1670 at the age of 73 in Bridgewater, Plymouth, Massachusetts.
John was 12th in descent from Sir Roger Wassebourne or Washbourne. John was listed as a church warden in 1625. He was
26 years old at the death of his father in 1624, when he was charged to settle the estate within, 6 years, paying off the
legacies to the other children, while he came into possession of the real estate. As his Father, John, was a husbandman with
considerable holdings of land and over 200 (pounds) worth of chattels to dispose of. With his Mother dying two years later
and leaving property to be looked after, he could hardly have closed up the estate and disposed of his own rights much before
1630. It seems probable in that year or the year following he immigrated to New England. At any rate, records in New
England verify that in January 1632 he had been long enough in the New World to have had occasion for a case in civil
court.
During this period of 1630 to 1632 William Washbourne immigrated to New England perhaps New York. It is from these
two brothers, John and William, that all the Washburns and Washbournes in the United States descended.
In 1633, John returned to England to secure passage for his family to the Pymouth Colony and returned in 1634. His family
followed soon after, as planned.
It would be interesting to know what induced the church warden of Bengeworth to emigrate to New England and what
reasons led him to choose the Pilgrim Colony of Plymouth rather than the Puritan Colony of Massachusetts Bay; for surely
he knew of Winthrop's large expedition which was being organized and which sailed in 1630. Judged by their circle of
friends and associates, by their relation to the church and the town, by their steady accumulations from generation to
generation, the Wichenford Washburns held a highly respectable and honorable place among their Evesham townsmen. John
and Emme evidently had little more than their land to start with, and collected around them in their lifetimes only the prime
necessities of their work and comfort. Their descendants steadily improved their condition and maintained their position.
And it must have been an interesting event to many of the townsmen when the eldest son and heir of their late burgess sold
out, settled up and departed for a home in New England."
Footnote to the above: The following may throw some light on the above query. Very incomplete lists show that emigrants to
the Plymouth Colony came from all parts of England, from Northumberland to Devon, from Scotland to Ireland, from inland
counties as well as from seaboard, this indicating that early in the 17th century and before, the sentiments and opinions of the
Holland Pilgrim were wide-spread. The four brother emigrants of the Winslow family lived in Worcester County. Edward
Winslow joined the company in Leyden and perhaps also Gilbert; if not, he was on hand at Plymouth to sail with the first
batch of Mayflower pilgrims. John Winslow sailed the next year and Kenelm in 1629. The Winslow estates were in
Droitwich, about 17 miles North by Northwest from Evesham. Now it happens that the Washburns had possessions in
Droitwich since the early 14th century; and these possessions were either revived or much added to by the purchase in 1618
of the saltpans in that parish, and we have the names of several Washburns who resided there. The emigration of so
important and well-to-do family as the Winslows must have been the talk of the country side far and near for many a day and
news of the Plymouth Plantation and of Gov. Winslow must have come back to Droitwich and filtered into all the
neighboring hamlets and towns. If we may judge from the somewhat conventional language of the Evesham Washburn's
wills, they belonged to a circle thoroughly in sympathy with the Evangelicals in the Reformed Church; and with members of
the Washburn family living in Droitwich, and the old and long connection of the family with the parish, the Evesham
Washburns could hardly have failed to know all about the Droitwich Pilgrims, and when they themselves were ready to
emigrate, naturally chose a colony under a governor who was a family neighbor, so to speak, and whose antecedents and
character they were well acquainted with."
Duxbury, the first Plymouth offshoot began to settle in 1632 and was incorporated in 1637. In 1634, John Washburn (note
the change in spelling of the last name now) purchased of Edward Bumpus "The Eagles Nest" a palisaded homestead, and the
lands beyond Eaglesnest Creek.
On April 3, 1635 his wife Margery and two sons John and Philip received emigration certificates and permission to sail in the
35
26 June 2012
Elizabeth and Ann, and in due time joined John in Plymouth.
In 1644, when the population of Duxbury was estimated at over 400, a movement began toward opening a new inland
settlement in what was to be Bridgewater. John Washburn Sr. and John Washburn Jr., Miles Standish, John Alden, Wm. and
John Bradford, Love Brewster, Experience Mitchell, Edmond Chandler, and Wm. and John Paybody were among 54
purchasers from Massasoit (an Indian Chieftan) of the town of Bridgewater, a tract of land extending 7 miles on each side
from a certain fixed center. The Company paid for it 7 coats, 1-1/2 yards in a coat, 9 hatchets, 8 hoes, 20 knives, 4 moose
skins, and 10-1/2 yards cotton cloth. The transaction was signed by Massasoit for the Indians, and by Standish, Samuel.
Nash, and Constance Southworth for the colonists March 23, 1649 after 7 years consideration by the Colonial Court, the
purchasers and the Indians.
The Washburns did not move for some years to Bridewater; the father and two sons were registered in Duxbury in 1643 as
able to bear arms, and John Sr. as a road surveyor in 1649 and 50. They had, however, settled in Bridgewater before 1665
where John the father died between 1666 and 1670. Nothing is known as to the death of his wife Margery.
Roots Research Bureau, Manuscript #2737, 1984 states that: John immigrated from Worchestershire to the Plymouth Colony
before 1632. In 1634, John moved to Duxbury where he purchased from Edward Bumpas the "Eagles Nest" a palisaded
homestead with lands beyond Eagles Nest Creek. Later he moved to Bridgewater in the same Colony.
The Washburn Family, Notes and Records, Historic and Social of the Ancient Family of Washbourne of Washbourne,
Witchenford and Dutchley from the 12th Century to the present time (1896), Edited by R.E.M. Peach and printed by John
Bellows of Gloucester, 1896, has a footnote that states: "The first Emigrant of the Washbourne family to America was a John
Washbourne, (with his son John, aged 16) in 1622 or 1623. Although a member of the ancient family, he literally was not a
Glouster Wasbourne. Indeed there is no doubt that this John Washbourne was of the Witchenford branch, and before
emigrating, lived in the Parish of Bengeworth near to Evesham. Margery MOORE and John WASHBURNE VIII were
married on November 23, 1618 in Bengeworth, Evesham, Worchester, England.
2049. Margery MOORE was born on November 2, 1588. She was christened on November 3, 1588 in Bengeworth,
Evesham, Worchester, England. She emigrated on April 13, 1635 from Plymouth Colony in America. Margery Immigrated
to the Pymouth Colony with sons, John and Phillip abourd the sailing ship "Elizabeth & Anne". Margery died in 1670 at the
Margery with sons, John and Phillip, arrived on the ship "Elizabeth Ann" at the Plymouth Colony on April 13, 1635. John
was age fourteen and Phillip age eleven on the date of their sailing.

i. John WASHBURN IX, born November 20, 1620, Bengeworth, Evesham, Worchester, England; died
November 12, 1686, Bridgewater, Plymouth, Massachusetts.
ii. Phillip WASHBURN was baptized on June 2, 1622 in Bengeworth, Evesham, Worchester, England. He
died on June 7, 1622 in Bengeworth, Evesham, Worchester, England. He was born in 1624 in
Bengeworth, Evesham, Worchester, England. Phillip died on August 19, 1700 at the age of 76. It is not
known that Phillip ever married or had children. His father gave him a farm in Duxbury which he sold in
1679. He also sold other land in 1684. In the latter part of his life he seems to have suffered from some
physical or mental disability; for in 1685, Joseph, one of the sons of John, gave bonds to take care of his
uncle Phillip by order of the court; and in his will made in 1686 John charges his eldest son John with his
brother's care. Phillip was still living in 1700.

Thirteenth Generation
4096. John WASHBOURNE VII was baptized on January 31, 1551 in Bengeworth, Evesham, Worchester, England. He
was born on August 1, 1566 in Bengeworth, Evesham, Worchester, England. He died on August 3, 1624 at the age of 58 in
Bengeworth, Evesham, Worchester, England.
John Washbourne was an esteemed man of weight and worth in Bengeworth. He was one on the first board of Burgesses
appointed by King James when he first granted a charter to Evesham, including Bengeworth in it as a suburb in 1605, and
granted the town two representatives in Parliament. Towards the close of his life, John was blind, as we learn from the
following passages in his will: "In witness of all which, John Washbourne, being blind and not able to set his hand, hath
authorized his brother-in-law, John Tymbrell, for him and in his stead to subscribe to these presents with his name and
mark." August 3 1624. Martha (Trimbell) STEPHENS and John WASHBOURNE VII were married on July 6, 1596 in
4097. Martha (Trimbell) STEPHENS died on September 29, 1625 in Bengeworth, Evesham, Worchester, England.
John WASHBOURNE and Martha (Trimbell) STEPHENS had the following children:
2048
i. John WASHBURNE VIII, born July 2, 1597, Bengeworth, Evesham, Worchester, England; died 1670,
ii. Jane WASHBOURNE was born on December 2, 1599 in Bengeworth, Evesham, Worchester, England.
She died in December, 1624 at the age of 25 in Bengeworth, Evesham, Worchester, England.
iii. William WASHBOURNE was born on November 9, 1601 in Bengeworth, Evesham, Worchester,
England.
William Washbourne was an early emigrant to New England (as was his brother John), and the ancestor
of a large body of descendants. William and John The Emigrant are the two brothers from whom all the
Washburns or Washbournes in the U.S. descended.
William Washbourne first emerges in colonial history in 1647 at Hempstead, Long Island, when he
received an allotment of land as one of the original settlers. He did not belong to the first batch of
Colonists from Stamford, CT. in 1643-4 but was probably among those joining the colony in 1645-6. It is
to be taken for granted that he and his family sailed from England to one of the Massachusetts ports, and
sufficient time must be allowed him for becoming acquainted with the spirit and character of the
institutions and people where he happened to be, and for discovering another more congenial; for each
colony had characteristics of a very distinctive sort. Allowing time for all this, there would be ample
leeway granted if we suppose him to have emigrated in the late 1630's. It would seem, therefore, there is
nothing inconsistent in time with William Washbourne of Hempstead being, William, the brother of John
of Bengeworth, whose daughter Marthathea was baptized there on Dec. 18, 1637. Besides Marthathea,
William of Bengeworth had a daughter Sarah and another Martha. When we compare the Hempstead
family with these, we find that William and his wife, Jane had the following: John, Mary, Martha, Sarah,
Hope, Phebe and Agnes. The older of these were at least of marriageable age, Mary born in 1629, and
John having married into the best families of the settlements before 1650 and in 1655. Martha, born in
1627, married in 1657. One or two more facts may have some bearing on the question of William's
ancestry and relationship to John Washbourne (the emigrant). The Duxbury and Hempstead families so
far as we know never fraternized at all. This is a small matter for our knowledge of those times is very
incomplete. The records as they exist seem to show William in an active public and business career that
suggests more the Londoner than countryman and colonist. John, son of John and grandson of William
went over to London on business in 1685-6 and died there in Feb. of 1687. His will was made in "St.
Beedulph" Parish, London, Feb 23, 1687 and proved in New York in 1688. This John, who was Secretary
of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, has been confused with John the emigrant; but a comparison the their
hand writing has proven that their identities are unquestionably different.

January 8, 1546 at the age of 67 in Bengeworth, Evesham, Worchester, England.
John IX not being the first son did not inherit the Wichenford Court. Instead he inherited or was given some lands near
Bengeworth across the River Avon from Evesham. This is where the Bengeworth branch of the family separated from the
main branch at Wichenford Court (known also as "Knights Washbourne" ). In 1538, when registration became compulsory,
John and his wife, Emme, appear in records as residents of Bengeworth, a suburb of Evesham, six or eight miles northeast
from Little Washbourne and about 20 miles southeast of Wichenford in Worcestershire, England.
In his will of 1546, John describes himself as John Wassheburne, husbandman. He had fields about Bengeworth and a house
and buildings in town, enough for the comfortable living of the family but not for luxuries; and on their narrow means they
appear to have maintained a life befitting the family from which the husband sprang, amid a large circle of friends from the
most substantial people in the town. The coat of arms of the Wichenford Washbournes were blazoned on the south window
of the church, "as of a Benefactor".
In his will he directs that his "body be buried in ecclesiastical sepulture of my parish church of Bengeworth and brought to
sepulture with solemne dirge and mass for my soul and all Christian souls".
He bequeaths to the church aforesaid two strikes of wheat and two of barley, after which follow bequests of small domestic
and farm belongings, of his lands and houses to his eldest son John, of small annuities to the other children, and trifles to his
grandchildren. His chattels inventory 26-8-8. Emme and John WASHBOURNE V were married on May 6, 1516 in
Bengeworth, Evesham, Worchester, England. Occupation: Husbandman.
16385. Emme died on May 13, 1547 in Bengeworth, Evesham, Worchester, England.
Of John's wife, Emme, it is only known that she lived with her husband until her death in 1547, bore him children and made
a will disposing of her property at her death. Her will reflects more the religious feelings and customs of the times. She says:
"I bequeathe my soul unto Almighty God, the glorious virgin Saynt Mary, to the
company of all the blessed Angels and Saynts in hevyn" and my "body to be buried within the Churchyard of Bengeworth".
These were the popular thoughts and expressions in the last two years of Henry VIII,
"Defender of the Faith", and the year of Martin Luther's death. John and Emme left two
married sons and two married daughters, Katherine, wife of Danyell Hide, and Alis, wife of Robert Martin. The sons were

The property at Stanford-upon-Teme then became contested in "suytes of law". John Stalway and his wife, the former Isolde
Washbourne, had a son Humfrey Salway who resided at Stanford but laid claim to Knights Washbourne (the current name
for Little Washbourne), perhaps because John (6) was perceived to no longer need it. Humfrey's contemporary, Norman
Washbourne, then owner of Knights Washbourne and Sheriff of Worchestershire, claimed Stanford, near Wichenford.
Arbitration by George, Duke of Clarence, decided that John Washbourne (8) should have Knights Washbourne and Humfrey
Stalway should have Stanford

Notes from: Anne Shannon
http://genforum.genealogy.com/washburn/messages/189.html
The Washburn family derived its name from two small villages: Little Washbourne or Knight's Washburn in the southern
part of Worcestershire, England; and Great Washburn in the same neighborhood, county Gloucester.
The name itself is from two Saxon words--"wash", meaning the swift moving current of a stream, and "burn" or "bourne", a
brook or small stream.
Grosart in: NOTES OF THE WASHBOURNE FAMILY IN ENGLAND , puts the date of the Washbourne family before
the Norman Conquest (11th Century).
In Herald's College, London, Vol. I., page 54, is given: WASHBOURNE. A name of ancient Norman descent; the founder
was knighted on the field of battle by William the Conqueror and endowed with the lands of Little Washbourne and Great
Washbourne, Counties of Gloucester and Worcester.
In his "Britannia" Camden says: Under these Bredon Hills southward you see two villages named Washbourne, whence came
the surname to a very ancient and worshipful Family in this tract.
Grayerbrook in "Heraldry of Worcestershire," Vol. II., p. 609, says: Washborne--of Washborne, Wichenford and Stanford:
This ancient family was seated at Little Washborne in Overbury before the reign of Edward III. Roger de Washborne, living
about the reign of Edward III., had two sons both named John. The elder having no issue, was succeeded by his grand
nephew, John Washborne of Washborne and Stanford, the son of Peter Washborne who was the son of John, the younger son
of Roger de Washborne.
John Washborne was twice married; by his first wife Joan, daughter and heiress of Sir John Musard, he had one daughter-Isolde--who married John Solway and carried with her the Stanford Estates. He married 2d Margerey Poher (or Power),
daughter of Lord John Poher, by whom he inherited large estates at Wichenford in 1397. After his marriage with Margerey
Power, John Washborne lived at Wichenford Court and died there May 13, 1454. The Washborne family continued to live at
Wichenford for six generations.
Grosart says while Great Washbourne is in the borders of Gloucestershire,
Little Washbourne is in Worcestershire, but not distant.

WASHBURN-- The surname Washburn is identical with Washbourne and Washborn, and the family derived its name from
two small villages of Washborn or Washbourne, Little Washbourne or Knight's Washbourne, in Overbury, in the southern
part of Worcestershire, England, and Great Washbourne, in the same neighborhood, county Glocester. The word itself is
from two Saxon words--wash, meaning the swift-moving current of a stream, and burn or bourne, a brook or small stream.
The authentic history of the family begins before the adoption of surnames. Washbourne's Book of Family Crests states that
the founder of the family was of Norman ancestry, was knighted on the field of battle at the time of William the Conqueror,
1066, being endowed by him with lands and the manor of Little and Great Washbourne, counties of Glocester and
Worcester. That statement is not authenticated, but practically all of the knights and nobles of the time in which the known
pedigree of the family begins, had a similar origin. As early as the reign of Henry II. we know that William, son of Sampson,
was Lord of Little Washbourne. The armorial bearings of the family indicate descent from the houses of Zouche and Corbett.
The ancient coat-of-arms: Argent on a fess between six martlets gules three quatrefoils slipped bendways of the first. Later
the family at Worcester modified this slightly: Argent on a fess between six martlets gules three cinquefoils of the field.
Crest: A coil of flax surmounted with a wreath argent and gules thereon flames of fire proper.
Is the first known authentic ancestor of this family. He is mentioned in an Inquisition of 1259, concerning William de
Stutevil, and in the Lay Subsidy Roll of 1280 he is described as of Little Comberton and of Washbourne, as well as of
Stanford. Stanford was on the other side of Worcestershire from Washbourne, about twenty-five miles in direct line. He was
living in 1299.
Joan F. and Sir Roger de WASHBOURNE were married in 1258 in Worchestershire, England. To follow the Washburn
ancestors back to Royalty in England and Scotland, go back and pick up the lineage for the wife of John Washburn VII
(1479 - 1546), Lady Joan de Mytton.
Sir Roger de Washbourne was the first to use the family name, which was also spelled Wasseburn (also Wassebourne).
WASHBOURNE PREHISTORY
The Washburns of America (including the Washbournes and Washbons) descend from the Washbourne family of England.
The Washbourne surname appears 1150 - 1250 in the region near the River Isbourne (whence they probably took the name),
southeast of Worcester and south of Evesham.
Research by others, notably Rev. James Davenport of England and Mabel Thacher Rosemary Washburn of Vermont, have
researched the male line back hundreds of years to Normandy, to Tancred, a Norman who lived at Tancarville at the mouth
of the Seine River in northern France. The Normans, or Norsemen, raided the shores of England and France from their
homes in Scandinavia. The most prominent of these Norsemen was Hrolf, the Viking (860-927), whose name was Latinized
to 'Rollo'. Rollo was born at Fakse on the island of Sjaelland, 35 miles SW of Copenhagen, Denmark. 'The Rollo Stone' at
Fakse commemorates his fame. Rollo and his followers seized Normandy in northern France, and their possession of the land
was formalized by the Treaty of St. Clair-sur-Epte between Charles III of France and Rollo in the year 911. Rollo took the
title of Duke of Normandy. One of the foremost of the Norsemen under Rollo was Tancred. Tancred was with Rollo at St.
Clair-sur-Epte, and built a fortified Castle at Tancarville, on the first promontory guarding the mouth of the Seine River.
Tancarville was an 'allodium', signifying absolute ownership by Tancred, as contrasted with a 'fief, signifying lands held
subject to the King. Visitors to Tancarville today may see the Castle ruins including the Eagle Tower atop the hill, and the
Church of St. Jean d'Abitot at the foot of the hill. 'Abitot' is Scandinavian - the ending 'tot' is old Norse for hill. Variations of
the spelling include Abbetot, Abetoth (Domesday) and Dabitot. Tancred's son was Rabel. 'Rabel's Isle' in the Seine and
'Rabel's Foss', a moat around the Castle, are named for him. Rabel's son was Geraldus of Tancarville, who married Helendis.
Geraldus and He1endis had two sons - Rabel II of Tancarvil1e and Almericus d'Abitot. Rabel II became Chamberlain to
Robert the Devil, or Robert the Magnificent, no doubt depending on your interpretation of history, who was Duke of
Normandy from 1010 to 1035. Robert was father of William the Conqueror (1028-1087). Rabel II's descendants in England
have used the surname Chamberlain to this day. Robert, at age 24, departed on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, on which he
subsequently died. For fear of assassination, Robert left his son and heir William, age 6, under the guardianship of Almericus
d'Abitot, brother of Rabel II. Almericus was Lord of the fief of St. Jean d'Abitot, on high ground 4-1/2 miles west of the
castle at Tancarville. Almericus d'Abitot had two sons - Robert and Urse. Robert served William the Conqueror as Treasurer
and was known as Robert le Despencer. His descendants use the surname Spencer. Urse d'Abitot (1043-1108) was knighted
by William the Conquerer at the Battle of Hasting (1066). Urse was awarded forty hides of land (one hide is 120 acres) in
51
26 June 2012
Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, and was named Earl of Worcester and Sheriff, the chief civil and military authority for
both Counties, and Constable of the Royal Castle in Worcester. These offices were hereditary for subsequent generations.
Before September 1069 Urse had established a Castle in the southwest comer of the Borough (City of Worcester), which was
"a steep artificial mount whose area at the top is no more than six yards in diameter". Its military significance was over by
the reign of Henry III (1216-1272), and in 1459 "the stones from the walls of the Castle were used by the men of Worcester
to fortify their town against the expected attack of the Duke of York" during the Wars of the Roses. Later the old Castle was
a county prison until it was torn down in 1830. Urse laid a rapacious hand on Worcestershire, as well as crushing a revolt by
Earl Roger of Hereford in 1075. Urse's "park", probably his residence, was at Salwarpe, five miles north of Worcester Castle.
He held sixteen estates at Droitwich, entitling him to a share in its salt. By the time of Domesday (1086) Urse was the
county's largest landowner, and was listed as tenant for one sixth of Worcestershire. Some property he gained by
repossession and some by outright seizure, often from the Church itself. Some referred to him as "dreaded Urse, the
insatiable Sheriff." Also, his brother, Robert le Despencer, was acquiring a poor reputation for land-grabbing. "They were
part of a whole band of Norman spoilers of which the terrible Sheriff, Urse d'Abitot, was the chief, who seems to have fallen
with special eagerness on the lands of the Church in this particular shire." The Monks at Worcester were particularly
incensed when Urse expanded the outer wall and foss of Worcester Castle through the consecrated burial ground for the
Monks of St. Mary's (Worcester Cathedral). They complained to Ealred, Archbishop of York, who directed "Urse's Curse" to
him: "Highest thou Urse? Have thou God's curse, And mine, and that of all holy men, Unless thou remove thy castle; And
know assuredly that thy posterity Shall not inherit the patrimony of Saint Mary." Urse and his wife Adaliza had a son Roger
d'Abitot, and a daughter Emmeline. The curse was fulfilled soon after in Urse's death in 1108. His son Roger d'Abitot
became Sheriff under King Henry I (1068-1135) and "in a fit of rage" ordered the execution of one of the King's officers.
King Henry in 1114 took away Roger's estates and banished him. Emmeline had married Walter de Beauchamp who lived at
Elmley Castle, and King Henry now made Walter Sheriff of Worcester. Walter and Emmeline de Beauchamp had a son
William (d. 1197) who succeeded as Sheriff of Worcester, and in 1139 William was appointed Lord Constable of England.
Later, the Beauchamps became the Earls of Warwick. Because Urse's coat of arms was "a bear and a ragged staff", and
because Walter de Beauchamp had married Urse's daughter Emmeline, the county of Warwickshire today carries the bear
and the ragged staff on its coat of arms. Upon his death in 1108, Urse was first buried in Worcester Cathedral at a
prestigious spot purchased by his descendants near what is now the foot of the marble tomb of King John (d. 1216). Before
1216 the Church excommunicated several Barons, and Urse's remains "were thrown out into the yard", according to the Dean
of Worcester Cathedral in 1972. Roger d'Abitot was banished and traveled westward to Powis in Wales. He changed his
name to "Ernaldus de Powis" and became a feudal under-lord to Ralf de Tosny, Lord of Clifford Castle. This Castle had been
founded in 1069-70 as the westernmost Castle on the Welsh border. Roger survived his banishment and was finally pardoned
by the same King Henry who had banished him, so by 1135 he was back in Worcestershire. The banishment and subsequent
pardon explain the Washbourne family crest - a coil of flax surmounted by flames - which Roger felt illustrated a line from
Isaiah 42:3, "a bruised reed shall He not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench." Roger did not regain his title, and
actually held only three hides of land at Little Washbourne, as under-tenant to his brother-in-law, Walter de Beauchamp.
Roger had four sons, identified in a charter of 1145 as Walter, William, Roger and Urse.
William settled on land in the River Teme valley about fifteen miles northwest of Worcester, known as Estham (now
Eastham). The parish of Estham had, in the Domesday book of 1086, belonged to the same Ralph de Tosoy who sheltered
Roger during his banishment years, so perhaps they were relatives. When Roger died, he gave William de Estham some
property in the adjacent parish to the east, Stanford with Orleton. William de Estham had a son, Sampson of Estham, who
lived at Little Washbourne. Sampson had a son William who held three hides at Little Washbourne and also had "right of
half a knight's fee in Orleton" in 1202.
William had a son Sir Roger de Washbourne (1219-1299) who held Little Washbourne. Sir Roger is mentioned as a Juror in
1259, and was recorded as "Sir Roger of Washbourne and of Stanford" in 1280. Sir Roger was succeeded by his son Sir John
of Washbourne (1250-1319). These are the first two who are considered to have the Washbourne surname.
