General Notes: Husband - Francis Townsend

He and his brother, Benjamin, were attracted by the possibilities of life along the western border of Pennsylvania, and in 1784 they removed with their families to Washington County, near Brownsville. His descendents eventually drifted away from western Pennsylvania.
