• From The Washbourne family notes and records:

Col. John Washborne, born 1620, was a distinguished Royalist in the time of the Rebellion. He joined King Charles II at Worcester, Aug. 26, 1651, "with forty horse." At the battle of Worcester, which Cromwell called "'a crowning mercy", he was taken prisoner and compounded with Parliament for his estate by paying £797 10s — but the author of Magna Britannia tells us "He was even with them paying them more than once in another metal." He was fined by Charles I, for not taking the Order of Knighthood, £35.
