Your Allie Townsend may be the daughter of James G. Townsend and Serena Jane (McGrew) Townsend. Her age fits. The 1880 census lists James, Serena, William, Horace (Harrace), and a girl two months old, but doesnt give her name. They are listed under the surname "Townsel" in the 1880 census. William is my great-grandfather. This is a common variant of the name Townsend. The headstones of James, Serena, William, my great-grandmother Mary Lucinda (Postell) Townsend, and their children all spell their surname as Townsend.
James, Serena, William, Mary, and their children are all buried in Tellico Plains. James' parents, William C. & Catherine Townsend are buried in McMinn Co. James, Serena, William, Horace, and the unnamed girl were all born in the Calhoun area of McMinn.
