Townsend family in NY
Am looking for the parents of Mary Emma Townsend, b. 1818 NY. m. Patrick Collins by 1842 and moved to Wyoming CO, NY.
The Townsend parents of Mary emma (sometimes Anna) Townsend were also b. in NYC, NY and may have died when she was young. Did she have a relative as a guardian or housed in the City orphanage. The mother may have been Elizabeth, and the father may have been John. All help with this Townsend family would be appreciated. Help, Help, Help.
