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