Hi, Geri.These are my Townsend ancestors also.I descend from John Townsend, brother of Richard Townsend of the Welcome, coming to America in 1682 with William Penn.John and his wife Elizabeth Pococke came to Pennsylvania @ 1712.There has been much info on this line, and there is a group (part of the Townsend Society) of folks who can trace their lineages back to this John Townsend, either by paper trail or yDNA.If you have a male Townsend relative who would be willing to donate his yDNA (it is just a mouth swab test), I would really recommend he get tested.
