20. George Washington WASHBURN
Hi, Randy - I think you have it all correct. George is shown with hisparents Elias and Sarah Ann and his siblings in the 1870 census forNodaway Co. MO. It gives his birthplace as Illinois. By 1880, Eliasand his 3rd wife, Alice, res. Cass Co. MO. By this time George hadmarried Elizabeth and res. Osborne Co. KS. This census also gives hirbirthplace as Illinois. Elias parents, Josiah and Rebecca, are in the1850 census for Fulton Co. IL, where George was born. I believe theywere at Summit Co. OH in 1840, where Elias was born. Sarah Ann Howardmoved to Fulton Co. IL with her parents in 1831. George is the son ofE. Washburn & Eliza Howard (could be Sara Howard) I have a copy of hisdeath certificate which indicates he was born in Indiana and his parentsin Illinois. George was married to Elizabeth Jane Hays on her fathersfarm in Nodaway Co. Mo. He died in Mankato, Kansas in Aug. 1919. Any helpI can get to verify this information would be really appreciated.

On 29 August 1639Clement Briggs sold to "Mr. Rob[er]te Heeks one acre of land in the upperfall near the Second Brook" [PCR 12:34]. In a compilation of Weymouthlandholding, probably prepared about 1643, Clement Briggs held twoparcels of land: "ten acres in the easter neck first granted to him" and"two acres upon the neck at the ferry" [Weymouth Hist 1:190]. In hisundated will, probated 24 October 1650, "Clemant Brigs of Waymouth"bequeathed to "my son Thomas my home lot at Plimouth 20 acres ... and mybiggest iron pot"; to "my son Jonathan 3 acres of my land joining to JohnRees land that is not broke up and to enter it when he is of the age of18 years and when he is of the age of 21 years to have so much as willmake the portion 3 acres one fourth part of all my lands in Waymouth andafter the decease of my wife it is my will he shall have one fourth partmore"; to "my son Clemat my housing and the other half of my land inWaymouth and to enter it when he is of the age of 21 years"; to "my sonsThom[as], David, John, Rememb[er] my other land at Plimouth or inPlimouth jointly and equally amongst them; "one year after Clem[en]t doenter to the foresaid land he shall give his brother Rememb[er] 20s. andJohn 10s. and ... Jonathan shall give 10s. to his brother David and tobrother Thom[as] 10s. in one year after he do enter to half my land";wife to be executor and John Rogers and Robert Tucker overseers [SPR Case#101]. (This will was not recorded until the nineteenth century, at whichtime the copyist misread Remember as Edmund [SPR NS 1:456].) Theinventory of the estate of Clement Briggs, taken on 23 February 1648[/9?]and presented to court on 28 July 1659, totalled Ð65 7s., of which Ð36was real estate: "one dwelling house and old barn," Ð4; "17 acres ofplanting land adjoining to the said house," Ð18; "one share of uplandupon the eastward neck," Ð5; "3 acres near James Smith's house," Ð2; "oneacre of salt marsh upon the westward neck near the ferry," Ð4; "about anacre of marsh more on the eastward neck," Ð2; and "land in Plimouth andPlimoth Pattent," Ð1 [SPR 3:151-52, Case #101].

On 19 March 1671 twelve acres of marsh land were laid out to "thechildren of Clement Briggs," by order of court 29 October 1668, adjoining"their Great Lot" [PCLR 3:214; PCR 5:5]. In her will of 13 November 1683,probated 11 August 1691, "Elizabeth Briggs of Weymouth" bequeathed to "myson David" (Ð10, brass kettle, brass pot, and great Bible), to "mygrandchild Clement Briggs" (Ð15, if he renounces further claims onestate), to "my son Remember Briggs" (remainder of estate, he to beexecutor); in a codicil of 11 November 1685 Elizabeth Briggs noted thather son David had died since the making of her will, and reassignedDavid's bequest of Ð10 to her grandson Clement Briggs, and the rest ofDavid's legacy to Remember Briggs [SPR Case #1873]. BIRTH: By about 1600(the deposition of 1638 implies that in 1616 Briggs had already been aservant of Mr. Samuel Latham for a few years). DEATH: Weymouth by 23February 1648[/9?] (date of inventory). MARRIAGE: (1) By 1 March 1630/1Joan Allen (1 March 1630/1: "Mr. Tho: Stoughton, constable of Dorchester,is fined Ð5 for taking upon him to marry Clement Briggs & Joane Allen..." [MBCR 1:83]); she died by 1640. (On 6 March 1637/8 at a QuarterCourt at Cambridge Clement Briggs gave a bond of Ð10 for the appearanceof his wife at the next court; at the same court Arthur Warren waspresented "for keeping company with Clement Briggs's wife, [which] wasfound to be true" [MBCR 1:219]. At a Quarter Court on 5 June 1638 ClementBrigg's wife was "enjoined not to come into the company of Arthur Warren"[MBCR 1:233].) (2) By 1640 Elizabeth _____; she died between 11 November1685 (date of codicil) and 11 August 1691 (probate of will), probably atWeymouth. CHILDREN (all born Weymouth): With first wife i THOMAS, b.14 June 1633 [NEHGR 8:348]; m. Ann _____ [BrPR 2:65]. ii JONATHAN, b.14 June 1635 [NEHGR 8:348]; m. by about 1664 Experience _____ [TAG33:83-86]. With second wife iii DAVID, b. 23 August 1640 [NEHGR8:348]; d. between 13 November 1683 (date of mother's will) and 11November 1685 (codicil to that will), apparently without issue. ivCLEMENT, b. 1 January 1642[/3] [NEHGR 8:348]; m. by 1669 Hannah Packard[SPR 7:1-2]. v REMEMBER, b. say 1645; m. by 1686 Mary _____ (eldestchild of "Remember and Mary" b. Weymouth 4 November 1686). vi JOHN,b. say 1647; named in his father's will; no further record. (He is notnamed in the will of Elizabeth Briggs, which might be evidence that hewas not her son, but he was almost certainly dead before she wrote herwill; if he had been a son of Clement Briggs by his first wife, he shouldhave appeared in the Weymouth vital records for the 1630s and early1640s. There is no evidence that he is any one of the men by the name ofJohn Briggs later appearing in New England.) ASSOCIATIONS: On 29 August1638 "Clement Briggs of Weymouth fellmonger" deposed that "about two andtwenty years since this deponent then dwelling with one Mr. SamuelLathame in Barmundsey Street in Southwarke, a fellmonger, and one ThomasHarlow then also dwelling with Mr. Rob[er]te Heeks in the same street, afellmonger, the said Harlow and this deponent had often conferencetogether how many pelts each of their masters pulled a week." Briggs goeson to tell in detail how many pelts had been handled a week "for thespace of three or four years," possibly implying that he had in 1616 beenservant to Samuel Latham since about 1612. The deposition was apparentlytaken at the request of ROBERT HICKS, who may have been involved in alawsuit in England [PCR 12:34-35]. COMMENTS: In a letter of 6 February1631/2 from the governor and assistants of Plymouth to the governor andassistants of Massachusetts, Clement Briggs is included in a list of menwho had "gone from hence, to dwell and inhabit with you" [WP 3:65].Savage thought that Briggs first went to Dorchester and then Weymouth,based probably on the fact that Thomas Stoughton, who married ClementBriggs and Joan Allen, was a resident of Dorchester. However, at thistime Weymouth (still Wessaguscus) was for administrative purposesconsidered a part of Dorchester, and it is more likely that Briggs wentdirectly from Plymouth to Weymouth. BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: In 1966 EdnaAnne Hannibal, with the assistance of Claude W. Barlow, published a solidgenealogy of the descendants of Clement Briggs, as part of a series onBriggs families of New England [Clement Briggs of Plymouth Colony and HisDescendants, 1621-1965 (n.p., 1966)]. This volume presents evidencesupporting the interesting hypothesis that the widow of Clement Briggswas the "widow Briggs" residing in the early 1650s at Southampton [p.4].
