Notes:

Enlisted in Col. Henry Luddington's 7th NY Militia. A Private Attention genealogists

The link between Eber Townsend and earlier generations is based upon theory. Although the link between Eber and John ( The First) Townsend of Oyster Bay, N.Y., has not been proven, The Townsend Society has thoroughly researched the link and has opined that the most likely lineage of Eber Townsend is as follows: (1) John (The First) Townsend (2) Daniel Townsend (3) Daniel Townsend (4) Charles Townsend, Sr. (5) Eber Townsend This lineage is subject to revision as more reliable evidence is found. ==================== Tombstone pictures at: http://www.townsendsociety.org/Members_Only/Tombstones/NY/DrewUrbana.h tml

Notes:

He moved to Steuben County, New York, from New Jersey in 1815. He moved to Blackford County, Indiana, in 1839; nine of their children coming with them from New York. He had resided in New York for about 25 years, a farmer and distiller. In 1839 some fourteen families, nearly all being more or less related, and including those of Gilbert Townsend, James Saxen and others, drove from Steuben County to Indiana, the cavalcade making quite a pretentious emigration. All located in Blackf County, the Townsend family settling on the land where James S, now resides. Gilbert erected a cabin, which was finished in the customary style with stake and rider roof, puncheon floor, clapboard door and everything else corresponding, all being by his own hands and without purchased material. This became their permanent home and here warmest hospitality was extended to all, the home becoming one of the most popular of the community. He devoted his life to the cultivation of his farm in Washington township, improved a good property, and died there about 1856 or 1857, when about seventy years of age. He is remembered as a large man, of rugged build, and a consistent and energet worker who fought his own way to success. His wife, who had been Polly Saxton, of New York, was a sister of James Saxton, a well known early settler of Blackford county, and lived to be nearly 100 years of age. Of their six or seven children, all have now passed away. --The Biographical Record of Blackford County, Indiana, 1900.

Notes:

Samuel Townsend, one of the children of Eber and Sarah, ( Elizabeth ) was born in 1783 and died in Rush Township, Jo Daviess., Ill., in 1863. He was the progenitor of the Townsends of Warren and neighborhood. He served in the war of 1812. In 1814 Samuel Townsend moved into Stuben Co., N. Y.., and married Sarah Longwell, Scotch-Irish ancestry. She was born on June 15, 1782, and died in Dutchess Co., N. Y.., on July 21, 1821, the mother of eight children, the youngest about three years old. The husband carried on. In the fall of 1826, Samuel Townsend, and two of his sons, George, then twenty, and Absolem, then about sixteen, started for the West, of which they heard tales about the rich lead deposits and the vast, fertile prairies, then inhabited by wandering bands of Indians. These adventurers and pioneers arrived at what is now Peoria, Ill., on New Year�s Day in 1827. In the spring they pushed on to Gratiot�s Grove and Galena in the "Fever River Lead-mine District." At that time it was not known whether the district was in Illinois, or in the Territory of Michigan. The father, Samuel, and his sons George and Absolem Townsend busied themselves about the mines, engaging in the trading in mine supplies, ox teaming, and smelting. They were soon joined by the remainder of Samuel�s children, only the eldest, Susan, remaining in the East. Two brothers, George and Halsted, finally settled in what became the Township of Rush, in Jo Daviess Co., Ill., while the others remained near Shullsburg, Wis., and became prosperous and prominent pioneers. ... Samuel Townsend, widower, married a second time, and had a son Sherrod Townsend, who was murdered at Nevada, Iowa, while returning from the gold fields of Idaho, in the 1850s. --The Warren Sentinel--Leader,Wednesday, November 2, 1932 ============== See tombstone pictures at: http://www.townsendsociety.org/Members_Only/Tombstones/IL/Elmwood.html
