My paternal grandmother was E. Marie TOWNSEND. She has a very significant New England ancestry in both her parents' lines. Her father was Eugene Martin TOWNSEND. His immigrant ancestor, Martin TOWNSEND, arrived in Massachusetts Bay Colony about 1664. Martin's mother was Susan CHAPMAN. Her ancestry traces to some of the original settlers (1635/36) of Connecticut. For an overview, look first at Susan CHAPMAN's pedigree. The ahnentafel starts with Eugene TOWNSEND.
"Timothy Townsen" Gravestone in Flatbrook Cemetery, Columbia County, NY. The cemetery is located on the east side of Highway 22, two miles north of I-90, exit 83, near Canaan in Columbia County, New York. The gravesite is in the front area of Flat Brook Cemetery.

Marie TOWNSEND's mother was Carrie HOLBROOK. These New England lines, mostly from Massachusetts and Rhode Island, are covered in the BRYANT pedigree (follow HOLBROOK link) and the HOLBROOK ahnentafel chart. Both TOWNSENDS and HOLBROOKS made their appearance in Ionia and Montcalm counties before 1860.
Some of the families of Massachusetts are: MORSE, POND, COOK, TRASK, HILL and others. Some of the Rhode Island lines include: SCOTT, JENCKES, ALDRICH. Many of these families lived near the "corner border" between RI & MA in the Blackstone River Valley.

My mother
is a Swede through and through. All
four of her grandparents were born in Sweden and immigrated to West
Michigan in the late 1800's. Her pedigree
gives five generations. View the ahnentafel
for more detail and more generations. Prepare for a lot of "dotters"
and "sons." Some of the main surnames are CARLSON,
AHLBERG,
ALIN (ALLEN), and OLSON.
