NOTES:
a. Baptized in Bengeworth, Worcestershire, England, he came to Duxbury in 1632. His wife, Margery, along with their two sons, John and Philip, arrived in 1635, coming on the ship Elizabeth and Ann. He and his two sons were among those listed as able to bear arms in 1643, and he was admitted a freeman of Duxbury 6 Jun 1646. He served as surveyor of highways 5 March 1638/39 and 6 Jun 1649, as well as in various other civic capacities. In January of 1634/36, he purchased a house and palisado from Edward Bumpass. On April 6, 1640, William Sherman and "John Washborne" were "to have such accommodations of land as may be spared in the place where they desire", and on April 5, 1641 it was ordered that John Washbourne might have forty acres in Duxburrow "if it be there to be had." John and his son, John, were two of the 56 original proprietors of the town of Bridgewater, whereto the family removed about 1665.

b. As noted above, he arrived in Bridgewater with his brother Philip and their mother, Margery, in 1635, settling in Bridgewater and later removing to Duxbury. He inherited from his father a house and lands at Green's Harbor, Duxbury, which he sold in 1670 and then took up residence in Bridgewater. He took an active part in King Philip's War. His occupation was that of a tailor, by which he appears to have accumulated considerable property. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Experience Mitchell and Jane Cooke, daughter of Mayflower passenger, Francis Cooke.
