*records of Irving Grove III
Lived in Virginia and moved to South
Carolina in the 1790's.
In a footnote for the Ligon family of South
Carolina:
"Genealogy of
the Mays Family by Samuel Edward Mays, 1929, p. 187. William
Townes had brothers John, Thomas, Henry and Samuel. John
and Samuel came over with James Townes. William Townes
settled in Amelia Co., VA, on the Appomattox River. He was
born in 1711, married Anne Wood or Childer", and died June,
1774. They had issue beside Elizabeth, who married
Blackman Ligon: William; Thomas; Henry; John; Joseph;
Balcott; Molly (Mary?) married William Pride; Nancy (Ann?)
married Charles Jones; Lucretia Townes married 1st in Amelia
Co., Va., March 20, 1769, Francis Robertson, and had issue:
Mary; William; Louise; James; and possibly Anne. She married 2nd
Tscharner de Graffenreid and had issue, Catherine Jenner who
married William Calhoun. "
[Ligon. p493]
There are a couple of corrections that need
to be made to the above statements. William Townes married
Anne Childers not Childer and Balcott should be Halcott
according to later researchers. We still have little
information on the other brothers (perhaps sisters) and
certainly little on James. We look forward to other
documentation.
