TOWNS in VA , CANADA, MD & PA
Hi fellow searchers, I am researching my maternal line and have not gotten very far.This is what I've gathered using census records:
?TOWNS born in VA x UNKNOWN born in Virginia
Known children:
BENJAMIN F TOWNS b.ca. 1840 in Canada x SARAH ??)b.ca. 1845 in Virginia
Benjamin was a shoemaker in Wilkes-Barre(1870) and Plains(1880) PA
Known Children:
BERTHA B TOWNS a dressmaker b. ca. 1871 in PA
CORDELIA TOWNS b. ca. 1874 in PA x LLOYD C LEE b Apr 1767 in PA
Known Children: TOWNS LEE, VELVA, JENNIE ROSE and LLOYD F
Towns Lee was my grandfather. When I was a child, we always told that Cordelia was part Native American and that"someone" in the family escaped the bonds ofslavery and went to Canada.There were also rumors about family still in Canada and Upstate NY.Not much to go on, but perhaps Benjamin TOWNS, who's parents were born in VA might strike a chord with someone. Thanks, Yvonne
