Hi Linda, 
Say, I noticed the link you have to Noah Washburn is considered incorrect. Here is the information that I have and what was accepted by the Mayflower Society. Hope it helps.
Mayflower Society application at Reference 1090 that states that the Noah Washburn who married Bathsheba Sexton was the son of Edward Washburn and Judith Rickard. 1090
Father* Edward Washburn1,2,3 b. s 1698, d. 1759 
Mother* Judith Rickard4,2,1 b. 1 Feb 1701/2, d. a 13 Nov 1745
Noah Washburn was baptized 15 June 1740 at Plympton, Plymouth County, Massachusetts (3,2,1,5,6). He married Bathsheba Sexton, daughter of Charles Sexton and Bathsheba Geer, 14 November 1765 at Hartford, Hartford County, Connecticut (7). He died 7 August 1811 at Hartford, Connecticut, at age 71 (8,7). He was buried at Old North Cemetery, Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut (8).

Since there appears to be two different Noahs, It might be easiest if we move Bathsheba over to the Noah born 1740 and cut and paste what you had put in the "about". Then move the daughter Sarah. We can MP both of them with a note that they aren't the same "Noah". What do you think.....

Your source http://www.gdcooke.org/SS/default.aspx/page/org2-o/p3239.htm 
looks very well documented. I think we should use it.
Jeff can pipe in if he thinks any of this is wrong.
Does this look right now Anne?

I see why there is confusion on this. However, this doesn't list his parents.

This doesn't list the children of Edward and Judith (Rickard) Washburn.

This is VERY confusing!! Both Noah aren't likely to have married Bathsheba Saxton!

According to FindAGrave, the Noah Washburn that is buried in Old North Cemetery in Hartford, and the husband of Bathsheba Saxton died Aug. 7, 1814. We currently have her married to the Noah that supposedly died Aug 7, 1811. Wish we had a picture of the site.

The more I look at this the more it looks like Bathsheba might be the daughter-in-law of Noah Washburn and Mary Staples. The evidence seems to lean stronger in that direction.

One of the things that make me lean toward Noah and Mary is Hartford Connecticut. Edward and his wife are from Massachusetts.....
Should I change it back?I think I know what David will say......

Gregory Cooke has the best analysis of which one married Bathsheba Sexton.

Ok, so based on Gregory Cooke the 7 Aug 1814 date is an error published by Barbour (Families of Early Hartford:635), with many sources supporting the year 1811. He also comes to the conclusion that the Noah that married Bathsheba was the son of Edward Washburn and Judith Rickard. His analysis makes sense to me and at current time represents the best argument. I've restored Bathsheba to this Noah and added the additional children listed in the source.
I plan to take this private discussion and place it into the public discussion associated with those profiles, so anyone else can follow what we did if that is ok with everyone. Linda, we'll need to update the curator notes. I'd do it, but it would switch the curator status to me. I created the profile for the third Noah Washburn, son of Henry & Sarah and MP'd it.
