The first Townsend ancestor of my hubby's in Ohio was James Townsend, who was born in 1754 (I think) in Maryland. Anyway, James was in the Revolutionary War, and was married to Catherine Allen. He had several children, a lot which are buried in the same cemetery in Meigs County, Ohio. I'm sure a lot of the grandchildren moved further away, because I can't seem to find much trace of the Townsend's in Meigs after that. My hubby comes through his son Allen, and Allen's son James, who migrated to Lawrence Co. Ohio. He married Margaret Gilliland. Then down through James's son William to Blaine, then to his dad Bill, and to my hubby Jimmy. I know that Angeline Townsend comes in there somewhere, too, but I can't remember right now where. Let me know if any of this sounds familiar to you! Patty Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
