He's a mysterious character...Not mysterious but some questions about he and his family. (He may be my gggg grandfather, but we're not sure.) He is generally cited as one of 6 Townes brothers, several of which emigrated from Britain to Virginia and were the basis of the family in that region. It's not certain his relationship to other Townes from the generations around him. he had, for example, a son named Wiilliam and a brother named William. Been trying to identify home more specifically without much luck.
