Son of Christopher C. and Julia Washburn; married Martha in 1870. He attended Cornell College, Mount Vernon, Iowa, and was a Methodist Clergyman.

"Rev. F. M. Washburn became connected with the Sauk County Quarterly Meeting ( QM), Wisconsin, as early as 1879. He soon became pastor of the Evansville and Oregon churches of the Rock and Dane Q.M., and about 1884 of the Mt. Pleasant church of the Honey Creek QM. His labors in Wisconsin have been highly esteemed. He served for some time as treasurer of the Mission Board, and was a delegate to the General Conference in 1886. In 1888 he took charge of the important church at San Francisco, CA."
...from "Free Baptist Cyclopedia, pub. 1889, by Burgess and Ward.

Rev. F.M. Washburn, was a Free Will Baptist clergyman, before he became a Methodist, pastoring churches in Wisconsin.
The northern Freewill Baptists merged their churches with the Northern Baptists, or, now, American Baptists, in 1911. Many of the Free Baptist ministers then went to the Methodists, rather than the Northern Baptists. [courtesy of Find a Grave Contributor: wvy # 46555353]
