In July 1701 Jonathan Washbourne “Junr†of Bridgwater was in court and ordered to pay a fine of £5 and court costs or to be publicly whipped 20 stripes for “his abusive and uncivil behaviour to Elizabeth Canaday Late of said Bridgwater by Thrusting up or putting of a skunk under the Cloaths to her Naked Body And then saying he had Done the office of a midwife.†Isaac Harris Junr, of Bridgwater, was also fined for being an accessory to the act. Both defendants chose the fine over the “stripes.â€[104] Samuel Pratt, of Middleboro, and Isaac Harris, of Bridgwater, were sureties for Washbourne and Harris.[105]
Rebecca (Perry) Washburn died in ca. 1718. The will of Ezra Perry, of Sandwich, dated 21 Oct. 1728, mentions “the three children of my daughter Rebecca by her husband Jonathan Washburn.â€[106] Rebecca (Freeman) Perry deeded land in Namskaket and Middleborough, MA, to the children of her daughter Rebecca Washburn, deceased. Jonathan Washburn remarried to 2.) Rebecca Johnson, of Hingham, MA, on 17 Dec. 1719 in Boston, MA.[107] It is not known if he had any other children by Rebecca Johnson, but none were recorded in Plymouth Co., MA.
In March 1735/6 Prince Hawse of Yarmouth, yeoman, filed suit against Jonathan Washburn, yeoman, Silas Washburn, and Lemuell Washburn, labourers, all of Bridgwater, for ejectment from a tract of land in “the Thousand Acres, formerly known as Govenour Princes and Major Josiah Winslows purchase†in Bridgwater that Howse had received in the division of the estate of Jerimiah House of Yarmouth, but that Washburn had entered and refused to yield. The Jury found for the plaintiff, but the Washburns entered an appeal. Cornelius Bennitt of Middleborough, “phisition†entered a similar suit against Jonathan Washburn, yeoman, Silas Washburn and Lemuell Washburn, labourers, for ejectment from the portion he had inherited.[108] In Sept. 1736 Jonathan Washburn of Bridgwater, Innholder, received a license to sell liquor at retail.[109]
No death or probate records were found for Jonathan Washburn in Plymouth County, and he may have died in New York or New Jersey, since all three of his children apparently moved to that part of the country.
