  • Notes 
    • Unknown existence; not the child of Jesse and Susannah (Tompkins) Washburn
      No source meeting genealogical standards of proof show that this person existed, let alone that he was the child of Jesse and Susannah (Tompkins) Washburn. The Find A Grave memorial cited as a source does not give evidence for this persons existence either.

      Person Exists
      The source list for this person includes one with a date label: 1812. That source is from a "Book of Deaths" kept by the sexton of the Quaker burial ground at Chappaqua. Under the Washburn surname, it lists "Oliver -- son of Jesse", and includes the purported death date. The "son of Jesse" comment implies that the young man was not married. This is evidence of the existence of the person in question of another "Note" here.

      As to the date of birth: The 1790 Census shows that Jesse Washburn's family consisted of the parents, and one son. This corresponds with the findagrave birth year of 1789. That son is evident (only by number) also on the 1800 Census.
