- From John Maltby:
The grandchildren of Samuel Washburn and Deborah Packard represent one of the larger branches of the Washburn family, and contain perhaps the most famous descendants, with a disproportionately large share of lawyers, congressmen, diplomats and governors that descend from son Israel Washburn. The children of son Benjamin are very much still under research and may have to be changed in the future, while the other grandchildren appear to be pretty well established.
- Families of the Children of Samuel Washburn and Deborah Packard:
Israel Washburn, son of Samuel Washburn and Deborah Packard, married Waitstill Sumner, probably daughter of Samuel and Experience (Blake) Sumner, of Milton, MA,[3] on 3 Nov. 1708 in Bridgewater.[4] She was a granddaughter supposedly of Roger and Mary (Josselyn) Sumner, and of William and Anna Blake.[5] They also lived in Bridgewater, MA.
Waitstill (Sumner) Washburn remarried to Ebenezer Pratt, of Weymouth, MA, son of Samuel and Hannah (Rodgers) Pratt,[6] as his second wife, on 15 Dec. 1720 in Bridgewater.[7] Waitstill probably died soon after, and Ebenezer Pratt remarried again, to Hannah (___). He died in Jan. 1751/2 in Weymouth, MA.[8]

Since Samuel Sumner married Experience Blake on 15 Mar. 1683, and she was born in 1665, as per Torrey, New England Marriages, p. 721, she must have been a daughter of William and Anna Blake, rather than William and Hannah Blake.
