One Name Place Study: Perry Townsend of Groveport
Previously I wrote about the success of finding a relative by using the One Name Place Study method. Let's continue investigating the remaining Townsends in the 1880 US Census for Franklin County, Ohio. There are four left. As you'll remember, I am in the process of investigating the Townsends of Franklin County , Ohio in an effort to find relatives of William James Townsend who was born around 1842 in Franklin County, Ohio. The first of the final four is Perry Townsend born about 1855 in Ohio, with parents originally from Ohio. Perry is working as a farm laborer. Perry Townsend, 1880 US Census, Groveport, Franklin County, Ohio Perry's household includes his wife Jane, also born around 1885. She's 25 years old and is keeping the house. Her parents are originally from Maryland and Ohio. In investigating Perry, I could not find records with the name Jane again as a wife. I found spouses named Minerva J Selles, Jennie Townsend, and Louella Lindsay.
