    • Did Richard and Amy (or one of their children), have an unknown or illegitimate child?
      Did Richard and Amy (or one of their children), have an unknown or illegitimate child?

      Please do not delete the "Unknown Washburn" attached to Richard and Amy.

      This profile represents the link between my known ancestor, Mary Ann (Washburn) Baker (b. ~1805 Westchester, NY), and the many DNA matches my father and I have with the descendants of Richard and Amy (Birdsall) Washburn. There is the possibility that there is another generation between (either above or below) Richard & Amy Washburn that our Mary Ann comes from.

      As most of Richard and Amy's children and many grandchildren have been accounted for through wills and deeds, and our Mary Ann does not seem to be among them, the birth of Mary Ann Washburn may have been illegitimate.

      See the discussion in this profile to add any additional information you might have.
