I don't have any records on any Lewis Townsend but you might find him by looking at some other Townsends of the same era and place. Here are some miscellaneous Townsends I've found over the years: Mary Townsend, b. ? m. Joseph Yarnall (b. 1697) in 1735/1736, son of Francis Yarnall and Hannah Baker (of Willistown) Rebecca Townsend, b. ?; m. Daniel Mercer (b. 1714; d. 6-25-1807), son of Thomas Mercer III and Hannah Taylor Hannah Townsend, b. ? m. Isaac Vernon Jr. - their daughter Catherine m. Phineas Mendenhall (b. 1741 in Bradford Twp.) Mary Townsend, b. ? m. Isaac Thomas (b. 1721), son of Peter Thomas and Elizabeth Goodwin (looks like they may have lived in Willistown) Sarah Townsend, daughter of John and Johanna Townsend was born 1742/3 and d. 1-13-1777; m. Amos House, son of James House and Mary Richardson Joseph Painter, b. ?; d. about 1751; m. Hannah Painter, b. about 1751; d. 1784, daughter of Samuel Painter and Esther Gilpin, Friends Joseph Townsend, b. 1763; d. 1808, m. Sinah Walker and had at least one child, Lydia P. Townsend (b. 1802 in Chester Co.) who m. Jesse Sydenham Baily in Beaver Falls, Pa. Martha Townsend, b. ? m. Robert Lamborn and they had at least one child, Mary Jones Lamborn b. about 1785 - she m. Moses Pennock, a Friend Mary Townsend, b. 1753; m. 1777 in Birmingham meeting to Jesse Jones, son of Cadwallader Jones Jr. and Mary Gatlief John Townsend, b. 1780 in Penna; d. about 1863 and b. in New Garden FBG, m. Hannah Warner (1787-1834) and had at least one child, Eliza Townsend, b. 1809 m. Nathan Wickersham - all Friends Lydia Y. Townsend, b. 1780 in Pennsylvania (perhaps Chester) m. Jonathan Mendenhall (b. 1777 in Guilford Co., NC) but son of Moses Mendenhall and Sarah Howell of Bradford Twp., Chester Co. Mary Townsend, b. about 1790 m. Joseph James (living in Delaware county in 1860 and 1870) Looking at all these odds and ends, it looks like there are a number of Quakers, many Welsh names, and a lot of folks with ties to townships along the Chester/Delaware count line and stretching into the Welsh tract (incl. Valley Forge).  That said, I also have records of mid-18th century Quaker Townsends in New York and non-Quaker Townsends who m. ex-Quakers down in Patrick County, Virginia in the 18th century.
