An East Bridgewater town listing has Eleazer included as a RW soldier along brothers Isaac, Levi, Alden as well as with Solomon. (It should be noted that Bridgewater birth records do not include any additional Eleazer’s for the period.) (A 1775 Capt Robert Orr mm record (E. Washburn, drummer (?)) and a 1777 Capt Noah Allen record are probably not relevant.)

His inventory, dated 8 Apr. 1762, was appraised by Thomas Whitman, John Orcutt, and Nathan Allen, and his estate was divided on 10 Nov. 1764 by Capt. Edward Mitchell, Ephraim Cary, and John Orcutt, to his heirs, namely his widow Anna Washburn, Eleazer Washburn, Susanna Byram, Asa Washburn, Anna Washburn, Levi Washburn, Oliver Washburn, Alden Washburn, and Isaac Washburn.[81] Some of the probate records for Eleazer Washburn call him “Ebenezer” Washburn. In April 1763 Ebenezer Alden of Bridgwater, Gentleman, administrator of the estate of Ebenezer Washburn, late of Bridgwater, housewright, sued Isaac Peterson of Pembrooke, housewright, for an unpaid note of £5.10s dated 18 June 1762.[82]
