Found this post about early Va. Washburns at: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vaspotsy/s1997-2.htm
(just above nottom of the page)
"I am searching for information on WASHBURN (WASHBORNE, WASHBOURNE, etc.) in Accomac Co. during the 1600s and early 1700s. So far, I have uncovered the following through the Univ. of VA archives:
Heriot Washborne was exporting goods from the Colonies in 1639.
"Jos." Washbourne was exporting goods in 1672.
John Washbourne was given a land patent on land in Accomack Co. in 1679. A man by the same name was also obtained a patent in Northhampton Co. in 1679, and yet another in 1696.
"Jno." Washbourn was a clerk in the courts in Accomack Co. in 1687, certifying the will of one Simon Keeth.
John Washbourne was the surveyor on Cape Charles in 1689, and it was noted that he had left the service by 1706.
In 1731, a John Washburn was given a land patent in Spotsylvania County.
I would like to find as much information as possible to understand the relationships between these people, and to find traces of as many Washburns as possible in VA during these years. My target is to find the father of a John Washburn, who died in Culpeper Co. in 1779. He is the supposed father of a Benjamin Washburn who was born in Culpeper Co. and died in Shelby Co., KY, and who is my ancestor. A Benjamin Washburn was given a land grant in Washington Co. in 1798. Thanks for any insight you can give.
