Notes:

He was actively engaged in the English and West India trade, which he successfully prosecuted until the Revolution, when, beside the unavoidable obstructions to business occasioned by the war, he being a Whig, was subjected to many annoyances and interruptions from the British after they obtained possession of the place. Before that time he was a member of the Provincial Congress, and at the close of the war resumed his seat, and continued in public life until his death. He was a State Senator, and a member of the first Council of Appointment under the Constitution, in 1789. Before the Revolution, he had been for thirty years a Justice of the Peace. ... ... We find the following description of him in Dr. P. Townsend's Note-Book: "A fine old gentleman, of regular features, straight nose, a large blue eye, high forehead. A snuff-colored or grey suit, with silver knee and shoe buckles, a white stock of cambric lawn gathered in five plaits, fastened behind with a paste buckle, showing no collar, narrow ruffles at the shirt-bosom, gold-headed cane and cocked hat. A certain Solomon Seaman, uncle to Samuel, used to say he hated to see Sam and Sarah Townsend come into meeting, they looked so tall and proud. He was a member of meeting by birthright, his parents being strict Friends, and his wife, though baptized in the Episcopal Church, preferred the Friends. The Townsend Memorial, pp. 97-98.

Notes:

After his marriage to Betty Frost, they lived for some time on her property at Buckram, she being an heiress. In 1769, they sold to Zebulon Frost and removed to Jericho, where, upon the place which was his grandfather's, he built a house. It was the first two-story house, both front and rear, in that part of the country. -- The Townsend Memorial, p. 102.

Notes:

In his twentieth year his father put him in command of a brig. When the Revolution broke out he was in command of the ship Glascow, belonging to Walter Buchanan. In consequence of the interruption to trade she was left in London. Captain Townsend went to Paris, where he made the acquaintance of Dr. Franklin, who gave him the following certificate when he sailed for America: "Passy, Near Paris, June 28th, 1778. "I certify, to all whom it may concern, that Captain Solomon Townsend, mariner, hath this day appeared voluntarily before me and taken the oath of allegiance to the United States of America, according to the Resolution of Congress, thereby acknowledging himself a subject of the United States. B. Franklin." . . . He landed in Boston, and being unable to come to his father's, crossed the country to Chester, Orange County, to the residence of Peter Townsend, son of the 4th Henry. After an absence of seven years, Captain Townsend, by appointment, met some of his family on Shelter Island. Returning to Chester, he married Anne, daughter of Peter Townsend, bought property adjoining his father-in-law, and established extensive iron-works, but he resided in New York, where he did a large business in iron. He also established a manufactory of bar-iron on Peconic River, Suffolk County. He, in common with others, suffered severely from the commercial derangements in the early part of the century, but he continued his manufacturing operations until his death. He frequently represented New York in the State Legislature, and was a member at the time of his death. The Townsend Memorial, pp. 98-100.
