Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Memorial of John, Henry, and Richard Townsend, and Their Descendants In the winter of 1863 & 4, our attention was called to some old deeds and papers in our possession, by a question, casually started, about some long dead and gone Townsend. The items of family history which we gathered from them excited our interest and curiosity, and we went to the Town Records, to follow up the clue thus obtained. At first, the old-fashioned writing (very handsome, however, of its kind) was a trial to eyes and patience, but a little practice enabled us to decipher it very readily. And we found it interesting and exciting work to follow up the different branches of the family, frequently coming, most unexpectedly, upon some hitherto unknown member, and again, after long search, finding the proper niche for one who had seemed entirely unconnected with the rest. We think there are not more than two, mentioned in the Town Records, whom we have not been able to place, and they do not appear until the middle of the last century.
