(My mother's computer is ill; while it's being repaired, I'll chime in.)All we know about the James H. Townsend cited is what's on his tombstone (dates + "Asleep in Jesus"),
plus the fact that he's buried in the Highsmith plot in Fairview Cemetery, Bastrop.
(My mother's grandmother was a Highsmith, and is buried there.)There are family legends about a "Grandpa Townsend," but we don't even know if J.H. is the same person, and we can't figure out how to connect ANY Townsend to our family.Thus my mother's post.Sorry, but we can't help you.
