Gilbert Townsend, Sr., b. New York and came to Washington Township, Blackford county,
Indiana, in 1839. His wife, Mary "Polly" Saxon, b. New York and they married
1804 New Jersey. Gilbert's dad is Eber Townsend and his mother is Elizabeth Drew.
John Saxon was a Revolutionary War soldier.
I have more information on Gilbert Townsend but probably more than should go on the
Rootsweb site. Post your email address so I can send it to you. I am not trying to
circumvent distributing this information! I am willing to share with anyone who does
likewise.
At the Shields cemetery did you find any Shields and/or Deaver headstones? When I was
there four years ago it was too muddy to make a hike to the cemetery. I live in Kansas and
am going back but not right away.
I am missing the burial place of my ancestor, James H. Deaver and his wife Judith, both of
whom died in Blackford County, Indiana
