• From John Maltby:

Samuel Washburn, third son of Hope Washburn, born in Stratford, Connecticut Colony, on 15 Mar. 1670/1,^[1] married Susanna (___) Wooster, widow of Sylvester Wooster, of Derby, CT,^[2] on 30 Nov. 1714 in Derby.^[3] Samuel Washburn also settled in Derby, New Haven Co., Connecticut, where his name was often spelled “Washbon” in the Derby town records.

Saml Washborn, Wm Washborn, and John Johnson signed an undated agreement of Derby landowners made in about 1696 in Derby regarding additional land granted to John Davies Senior to build a barn on,^[4] the brook the runs by Samuel Washbun’s land was mentioned on 13 Jan. 1696/7,^[5] John Johnson and Samuel Washbon were chosen as a fence viewers for the east side of the river on 27 Dec. 1697,^[6] on 29 Apr. 1698 William Washbon, John Johnson and Samuel Washbone signed an agreement with other landholders in Derby to allow Ebenezer Harger a rod of land in Derby,^[7] a pasture was laid out to Samuel Washbens near his house in Derby on 10 May 1698, with the stipulation that “any man has liberty to go therow this pasture with a cart provided they put up the fenc againe,”^[8] in Jan. 1699 John Johnson, William Washbon, and Samuel Washbon again signed an agreement for John Davis Senior to receive half a rod of land in Derby to build a barn on,^[9] and at the same time they signed an agreement for Josiah Baldwin to receive a homestead of 3 acres of land in Derby.^[10] A piece of land was laid out to the widow Griffin on the southwest side of Samuel Washbons house that was formerly granted to her husband Samuel Griffin on 22 Apr. 1699.^[11] On 18 Jan. 1700/1701 Wm Washborn, Jno. Jnoson, and Saml Washborne signed a petition to allow Theophilus Miles to receive 5 acres of pasture on the north side of further Horse Hill Brook near Ebenezer Hardyear’s pasture.^[12] Saml Washborn drew lot 19 in the division of extra lands in Derby on 12 Mar. 1701/2.^[13] Samuel Wasbon was again chosen as a fence viewer in Derby on 12 Dec. 1704.^[14] John Johnson, Sa. Wasbon, and William Wasbon were among 15 Derby residents who filed a protest against a bill of charge that John Bowers brought into the town on 1 Jan. 1704/5, but the bill passed anyway.^[15] Samuell Wasbons land was mentioned in a land record of John Hulls dated 21 May 1705,^[16] and Samuell Worshbons land was mentioned in a land record of Stephen Person Jr. on 22 Mar. 1710/11 in Derby.^[17] Samll Washbon, Wm Washbon, and John Johnson were all listed as proprietors in Quakers Farms in Mar. 1727/28,^[18] but since Samuel was apparently already deceased by 1728, it may refer to his son, Samuel Washburn Jr..

Samuel Washburn died in 1724 in Derby, and Susanna remarried again to (___) Northrop before Dec. 1724. In Feb. 1724 she was called “Susanna Wooster alias Washborne,” and in Dec. 1724 she was called “Susanna Northrop, lately Washborne.”^[19]

Samuel and Susanna Washburn supposedly had 2 children:

• Mary Washburn, born say ca. 1715 in Derby, CT,^[20] marriage not found.

• Samuel Washburn Jr., born on 4 May 1717 in Derby, CT,^[21] married Sarah Beach, daughter of Nathan and Jemima (Curtis) Beach,^[22] on 19 May 1741 in Derby.^[23]
