My grandfather I believe was Edward Washam, his daughters by two wives were Martha and Dorothy Elizabeth. His second wife, my grandmother was Alameda Young who died at the age of 31. My great grandfather I believe was Fernandies (Ferdinand) Washam and he was married to a Donner...I think. They had children, whose names were Maude, Pearl, and perhaps harry but I get fuzzy here. Edward and Ferdinand had a brass foundry as a side job, and the elder was a design engineer on the B& O Railroad, the younger was a train engineer. This is the story as I know it. I would love to know more.
