Gwen, I know you were reaching out to Ken, Gwen, but you got Glenn. I believe we are cousins through the Townsends, but I want to run my thoughts by you to see if there is anything you can add...or subtract. I assume your Elizabeth Townsend Deputy is the daughter of William and Elizabeth Costin Townsend. William, then seems to be the son of John Townsend and Elizabeth Danford. Stephen Costin and Comfort Furness were the maternal grandparents. Siblings for Elizabeth Townsend Deputy seem to be Stephen, Costen, Solomon, Charles, and Abigail, as listed in William Townsend's will of 1728 Jan 4. I am concerned with the brother Solomon, and wonder if I have the right one among the several Solomon Townsends who roamed the area. I think this one is the one whose will was written 1772 Jan 4 with a codicil written 1773 Mar 23, and proved 1775 July 29. If so, then his "six children" would be Jacob, William, Solomon (died between the writing of the will and the codicil), Luke, "Abigale" who married John Carlisle, and Pheby who married Joseph Morris. My connection is Abigail and John Carlisle's daughter "Abegal" who married first Spencer Chance and second John Chambers. Spencer died in Maurice River Township, Cumberland County, NJ, and that is where the son of former Sussex Co, DE, resident William Chambers married her. I welcome any thoughts anyone has on the family structure.
