"Watch out for Brent Washburne, some of his research is faulty."
Amen to that. I too have corresponded with Brent. The problem as I see it, is that he simply compiled input from all hands with little or no research to verify and confirm.
Initially he had my third great-grandfather Hutchins WASHBURN as a female, until I set him straight.
In The Washburn Family In America, volume one, second edition of 1997, Brent Washburn identifies this person as A2E3 F1A Henry Hutchins Washburn. However, the author gives no reason for coming to this conclusion, nor does he provide any birth, marriage or death dates. The name Henry never appears in the records, and I always find it is Hutchins Washburn.
