According to Mary Parkinson, Seth Washburn fought at Bunker Hill, was a captain during eight months of service in 1775 and afterward served 13 years in the General Court of Massachusetts, part of the time as a representative from Leicester and part as a senator from Worcester County.
Emory Washburn, a descendant, reported in his “History of Leicester” that Seth Washburn was captain of the Leicester Minutemen that marched to Concord on April 19, 1775.
Local historians Donald and Joseph Lennerton confirm Sean Washburn’s position at the head of the Leicester Minuteman, noting that as soon as he heard the news of the march on Concord, he stepped outside his home on what is now Main Street in Leicester and fired off his gun summoning the Minutemen to assemble.

In the next legislature the coalition still had a majority in both branches, and chose Boutwell governor in spite of a plurality of 21,000 for Winthrop, the whig candidate; but in the following year the whigs recovered their majority, and the governorship.
In 1853 the whigs elected Washburn, through the legislature; and as this was the last disputed election it is as well to give the popular vote, which was as follows: Washburn (whig) 60,472, Henry W. Bishop (democrat) 35,254, Henry Wilson (free-soil) 29,545.
Nearly all the legislature were "know-nothings": in the house there were but six whigs and one democrat; and all the eleven congressmen were of the same party.

Second, the various Courts did not, in the beginning, take responsibility for putting their own decisions on the Web; in many cases, the earliest decisions come from a variety of law schools (notably Emory, Georgetown, Touro, and Washburn) that experimented with Web publishing before the Circuits were ready to take the task on themselves.
Finally, and most frustratingly, the Courts use neither uniform nor predictable standards in publishing their material; some decisions are inaccessible to us, as with the 10% of one court's collection that (inexplicably) uses a PDF encoding from which it is impossible for us to extract the text.
In some cases, the collections are assembled from multiple sources; for example, two different law schools (Emory and Washburn) successively archived the opinions of the 10th Circuit before the court itself began putting up its own opinions.
