*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.
