In 1736,Eleazer Rickard of Plympton sold his cedar swamp to his son Eleazer and son-in-law Edward Washburn "both of Plimton." In a deed dated and acknowledged 15 January 1740 [perhaps 1740/1?], Edward sold to George Barrow land ". . . bought of my Honoured Father Joseph Washburn late of Plimpton deceased. . . ." On 27 Apr 1741 Edward Washburn of Plympton sold to Abraham Jackson 1/4 share of cedar swamp originally belonging ". . . unto my honoured Father in Law Eleazer Rickard of Plimpton. These sales apparently were in preparation for the move to Middletown, Connecticut as son Eleazer was baptized there in October 1742.
Edward Washburn died intestate; his probate file contains an account of 15 December 1758, which mentions a mislaid inventory and contains a summary inventory giving only a list of claims against the estate.
