I recently was given an old sack full of poems and misc documents of Richard F. Hodson b. 1869, Henry County, Iowa. His grandparents would have been Jonathan Tureblood and Christina Hoggart(Hockett). Jonathan's second wife was a Lydia W. Townsend maiden name of Wickersham and she came to Iowa from Milford MM in Indiana in 1851, it appears by herself. I am seeking anything about her first husband, ? Townsend, and her children by that first husband. Also any information about Jonathan's children and grandchildren. Hopefully I have provided some new information also for family members. Note: Jonathan Trueblood was the oldest brother of my gg grandfather, Matthew Trueblood.

It was William Townsend, son of John Townsend and Elvira Cain Townsend. His date of birth was Apr 10, 1795, and died 29 Feb, 1848. William and Lydia were married after 1838, but most likely in Indiana. I don't think they had any children; at least, according to my sources there are no reported children. William Townsend was the brother of my ancestor, James Townsend who married Rosanna Smith. William married in 1816 at the White Water MM in Indiana, first, Elizabeth Morrow whose dob was 1795 and died 1838. William and Elizabeth had two sons: Eli Townsend and John Morrow Townsend. I would like to know more about Lydia Wickersham's marriage to Jonathan Trueblood. Kim Townsend Spangrude Ask yourself if you have more than others. Then ask yourself, "What would I give if they were my family?". Then, give; because they are.
