Townsend Genealogy: A Record of the Descendants of John Townsend, 1743-1821, and of His Wife, Jemima Travis, 1746-1832 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Townsend Genealogy: A Record of the Descendants of John Townsend, 1743-1821, and of His Wife, Jemima Travis, 1746-1832
From early boyhood the writer has found pleasure in collecting items relative to the history of the family of each of his beloved grandparents and from these his relative, Mrs. Josephine Genung Nichols, has compiled the present little volume on the genealogical relations of the descendants of John Townsend and Jemima Travis. After fifty years of fruitless search for his or her parentage, or the date and place of their marriage, we have concluded that it is wisest to publish at once, and stimulate all to further search in that direction.
It may be worth while to mention the traditions, that John Townsend was of Oyster Bay, that he had a brother Thomas, that two of his sisters married Tompkins and Appleby, that he came into Putnam county from the east (viz. Connecticut?), that he was related to Penn Townsend or to Platt Townsend, that he came from the Society of Friends, that the family had gone to Rhode Island with persecuted Friends from Long Island, and that the ancestor was one Christopher Townsend. But these are vague statements and uncertain traditions, depending on the memory of persons advanced in age, and are liable to need much correction, so that we ought not to include them in a history that is generally based on reliable documentary evidence. Such items preferably go in foot notes or appendices.
