Notes: John Washburn Jr. came to Boston with his mother and brother in "midsummer" 1635

John Jr. participated in the campaign against the Narragansett Indians in August 1645.
John Jr. and Elizabeth were among the original settlers in Bridgewater, Plymouth Colony.
Six of the seven sons of John Jr. and Elizabeth left children, and many Washburns in America are
descended from one of these six sons. Their daughters also left many descendants,
and former President George Bush is a descendant of Mary (Washburn) Kingsley.

John Washburn Jr. married a granddaughter of Mayflower passenger Francis
Cooke, and therefore all descendants of John Washburn Jr. are believed to be
Mayflower descendants. Certain other branches of the Washburn family have
additional Mayflower lines, including a line running to Mary Chilton,
the famous "Mayflower Orphan
