Note: rom a family Bible record kept by Josephine Phillips of Youngstown, New York--say Susan's birth year was 1793 or 1795. Transcriptions from her tombstone also reads 24 February, but one transcriber gives the year as 1791 and another as 1794.
Her married name is given as Washburn in old family notes, which is confirmed by cemetery inscriptions.
Susan, her husband, Dr. John Washburn, and three of their children were buried at Parma Corners Cemetery, Town of Parma, Monroe Co., New York. This cemetery is located on the east side of Union Street about ¼ mile south of Ridge Road West. Tombstone inscriptions transcribed July 1928 by Mary T. Douglas:
WASHBURN
Edwin P., son of John & Susan; Feb. 14, 1821- July 23, 1821 Elijah P., son of John & Susan; March 20, 1824 - Sept. 2, 1824 Ellen A.; see Ellen A. TRIMMER (no dates given, wife of Col. E. Trimmer)
John, M.D.; d Sept. 22, 1853 æ 67y Susan, wife of John; Feb. 24, 1791 (sic) - Feb. 22, 1825 Another daughter is also buried there: Mary (Washburn) Peck, wife of Lewis Peck, d. 7 June (sic) 1886, aged 69.
From compiled records of the Parma Corners Cemetery, a gravestone was erected for Lewis Peck 28 Oct. 1881 for $90. The monument's north side reads "Washburn", and south side "Peck"--from Cemetery Bk. 2, p. 80 (or 90?).
Parma Cemetery inscriptions (including only graves with monuments), compiled by Thomas E. Burger, cemetery sup't., shows Lot C-87:
John Washburn, M.D., d. Sept. 27, 1853, ae. 67
Susan Washburn, b. Feb. 24, 1794 (sic), d. Feb. 22, 1825 (or 23?)
Lewis Peck, b. Oct. 12, 1811, d. march 5, 1880
Mary Washburn Peck, d. Oct. (sic) 7, 1886, ae. 69
***
The probate record of Elihu L. Phillips (1800-1884) indicates that Mary W. Peck (d. 1886) was a neice. Other reocrds indicate that she was the daughter of Dr. John and Susan (Phillips) Washburn. This proves that Susan (Phillips) Washburn and Elihu L. Phillips were siblings.
Dr. John Washburn shows up in the 1830 census alone, so daughter Mary must have been cared for by other relatives (she would have been about 13 at that time).

The following notice, dated 4 Dec. 1818, was printed in at least four issues of the Rochester Telegraph (in Dec. 1818 and early 1819--date and page number of the issue not printed on the page). It is probably for the same John Washburn:
"NOTICE
"By order of John H. Jones, Esquire, First Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the County of Genesee, notice is hereby given to all creditors of John Washburn, of said county, an Insolvent Debtor, that they show cause, if any they have, before the sad Judge at his office in Leicester in said County, on the first day of March next [1819] at ten o'clock in the forenoon, why an assignment of the said Insolvent estate should not be made, and he be discharged, pursuant to the acts in such case made and provided. Dated Dec. 4, 1818.

The only John Washburn I found in New York in 1810 was:

John Washburn
1 male 10-15 1 male 26-44 2 females 0-9 1 female 10-15 1 female 16-26 1 female 45+ The only Washburn I found in Onondaga Co. census records for 1810 was:
Simon Washburn
The only John Washburn I found in New York in 1820 was:
1820 US Census (Roll 73, p. 67)
Nelson, Madison Co., NY
John Washburn
3 males 0-9 1 male 10-15 1 male 26-44 2 females 0-9 1 female 10-15 1 female 16-25 (It seems unlikely that this would be the same John Washburn who lived in Parma, Genessee/Monroe Co.)
In 1820, there was only one Washburn I found in Genesee Co., NY (Town of Alexander):
Hutchins Washburn

In 1820, there were at least four Washburns in Onondaga Co., NY:
Arthur WashburnMarcellus(Roll 67, p. 252)
Daniel B. Washburn, Manlius (Roll 67, p. 180)
Isaac Washburn, Cicero (Roll 67, p. 189)
Joel Washburn, Marcellus(Roll 67, p. 244)
Arthur Washburn was born about 1785 in Connecticut. lived in Marcellus, Ononondaga Co., NY in 1820 and 1830. (1820 census shows 1 male 26-45, 3 males 10-16, 1 female 26-45, 1 female 10 -16 & 4 females under 10 years). He was apparently married by the early 1800s (if he had four sons 10-15 in 1820. His wife's name was Betsy, and they removed to Burr Oak, St. Joseph Co., MI in 1850.
Daniel B. Washburn (1793-1866) married Lucy Tucker (1793-1885), 9 March 1814 in Ontario, Ontario Co., NY. Daniel was a soldier in the War of 1812 and his widow Lucy claimed a pension based on his service in 1871. Children: William, Maryann, James, Charles C., Abiah, Harriet, John M., Charlotte, Eliza--all or some of them were said to have been born in Deerfield, MA. Daniel and Lucy Washburn died in Maulins, NY.
