Chester C. Townsend was born circa 1810 at Maine per census records.Carolina C. (DeMarie) Townsend, his wife, was born circa 1821 at New York.Family moved to Chicago, Illinois about 1848.Soon moved to Beloit, then to Janesville, Wisconsin where Chester was the first Register of Deeds.Chester later moved to Neenah, Winnebago County where he was a bank cashier, Justice of the Peace and City Treasurer.
I have no information on George other than that he was born circa 1847 at Wisconsin.Charles Carroll Townsend was a veteran of the Civil War.He lived in several places but was residing at Merrill, Lincoln County, Wisconsin in 1888.
A biographical sketch of Charles can be found in "Soldiers' and Citizens' Album" vol. 1, pages 149-150.
