Last updated on 3 Sep 2012. Much of the following information was compiled by Herbert Armstrong Poole between 1905 & 1960. He gathered a great deal of information from such sources as "Townsend-Townshend Genealogy" by Margaret Townsend, New York, 1909; Bunker's Long Island Genealogies; "The Genealogy of Francis Cooke of the Mayflower"; the "Memorial of Samuel Hicks Seaman; "The Underhill Genealogy", by Josephine C. Frost; "Colonial Families" and "Colonial Revolutionary Families" by The American Historical Society of New York. Additional information has been added based on the viewing of original documents by myself. My focus at this time is on the descendent's of Richard Townsend. I have added John and Henry because several years before 1645, Governor Kieft of the New Netherlands gave each of them, and others, land patents for the town of Flushing, Long Island. It is based on this close proximity to each other in 1645 that I am presuming they are related. 1 _______ Townsend 2/1 John Townsend b. 1608/9, Raynham Hall, Norwich, Norfolk, England; d. 5 Oct 1668, Oyster Bay, Long Island, Nassau, NY *... burial, Fort Hill Cemetery, Oyster Bay, Long Island, Nassau, NY +1 Elizabeth Coles *... d/o Robert Coles and Elizabeth Hawkshurst +2 Elizabeth Montgomerie b.
