The John who moved to Virginia has to be the one born in 1703 in Derby, New Haven County, Connecticut. His father has to have been William3 Washburn, son of Hope Washburn, son of William.
We know for sure that John was in Virginia by June 26, 1726. On that date he received the deed for 425 acres of land, according to the Spotsylvania County Land Office Patents & Grants/ No. 12, Page 482. (Culpeper was subsequently formed from a section of Spotsylvania Co.). He was 23 years old at the time.

He is listed among the Eastern Shore Representatives in the Council and Assembly During 17th Century and in the 17th Century Bounty Land Warrants.
