Edson, James and Elizabeth Washburn, wid., Oct. 24, 1796.
Source:Mitchell, Nahum. History of the Early Settlement of Bridgewater, in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, p. 343, mentions a Josiah Washburn who m. (1) 1746 Abigail Curtis, m. (2) 1775 Elizabeth Snow, and then he d. 1789, ae 73 so b. abt. 1726. Could his widow be the Elizabeth Washburn that married James Edson? (Source:Edson, Carroll Andrew. Edson Family History and Genealogy : Descendants of Samuel Edson of Salem and Bridgewater, Mass. offers no clue as to her identity.) If this is her, Mitchell hints that it might be the "Betty" Snow, d/o Seth, but there is quite an age gap if so.
