So far as I know there is no proof positive that Hosea was the son of Stephen and Hannah (Norris) Washburn but a Stephen and Hosea Washburn were both listed in Weston`s History of Middleboro, Mass. as members of Capt Perez Churchill`s Company in August 1780 (p.138) No other Washburns are listed. Hannah Norris was probably the one b August 21, 1737 daughter of Benjamin and Mary(Wooden) Norris. The Washburn- Norris marriage occurred May 11, 1757, Wareham, MA (FW Bailey Early Massachusetts Marriages Book 1 Plymouth County p 51) Mary was apparently daughter of Peter and Elizabeth (Mallett) Wooden and grandaughter of Hosea and Grace ( ) Mallett see Noyes Libby Davis Genealogical Dictoionary of Maine and New Hampshire P 769 for Wooden and p 454 for Mallett. Hosea`s widow Grace married Benjamin Balch of Beverly, Massachusetts, note too that Hosea named his eldest son Ephraim, which was also Stephen of Plimpton`s father`s name.
