He married Martha Timbrell Stevens on July 6, 1596, in Bengeworth, Wickenford Parrish, Worchestershire, England. Martha died in 1626 in Bengeworth.
This John was one of the twelve Capital Burgesses mentioned in the Charter of Incorporation granted by King James I to Evesham and Bengeworth in the third year of his reign (1605) constituting them a Borough and granting the town two representatives in the English Parliament. On May 25, 1608 and October 2, 1610, John Washbourne signed the Corporation Minutes. He resigned the Council on August 30, 1614, probably because of his health, and his resignation is recorded in the Corporation Minutes on that date.

1624 Will and Inventory of
John Washborne
The 1624 Will and Inventory of John Washborne, of Bengeworth, Worcestershire, England, transcribed from LDS Microfilm #0098025, "Wills of the Consistory Court of Worcester, Diocese of Worcester, 1624," and compared with the transcription of the same in Rev. James Davenport's "The Washbourne Family of Little Washbourne and Wichenford," London, 1907, pp. 42-44.
This microfilm is dark and hard to read, and in addition the right hand side of Washborne's will and bottom of his inventory appear to have been water-damaged. The transcription by Rev. James Davenport is excellent and thorough, word for word, with the will.

Remember that the calendar in use in England at this time changed years on March 25th, so February 1624 came after December 1624.
