John Townsend 1st & wife Elizabeth (Montgomerie) Townsend of Oyster Bay
Hello,
My name is Dennis Doughty and today I discovered today the names of my ancestors John 1st Townsend & Elizabeth (Montgomerie) Townsend.
I recently started reseraching my ancestors, HARRISON, of Rockingham County, Va. through the book, Settlers by the Long Grey Trail.
I came across the information in the book of my above mentioned ancestors, through their daughter Elizabeth Townsend marriage to Gideon Wright, son of Peter Wright.
Other than the information in this book I have no information on this family.I did visit the www.familysearch.org website and saw 3 listings on Elizabeth Townsend.There is quite a bit of information on this family, and they appear to have been baptized/sealed in the LDS faith.The submitters for this information on familysearch.org were numerous.
I have viewed some information on genforum and ancestry.com as well, but so many names are swimming in my 47 year old brain right now!
Google.com did let me discover a Townsend Family Society which I will join.
I am very excited to connect with others who have researched this family as they appear to have been in the US for many many generations.
Thank you,
Dennis Doughty
