As did his brothers, he had trouble, when he resided 1656 Hempstead, L.I., N.Y., with authorities, because of his religious beliefs.

Letter of Administration 23 Sep 1670 granted to his widow, Elizabeth.
On Nov. 4 of 1661, Henry was admitted as a townsman at Oyster Bay, Long Island. He had previously resided in Rushdorp (now called Jamaica). In 1663, he returned to Jamaica a legacy he inherited to help support the poor of the community. He was buried on Mill Hill, where a rough stone marked "H.T." marks his grave.

First appears in America at Jamaica, Long Island, New York in 1656. He was a farmer. He married Deliverance Cole and lived in Jamaica until 1657. In 1658, he settled in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, where he married Elizabeth Wicks.

Title: Memorial of John, Henry, and Richard Townsend and Their Descendants, 1865. All three brothers were born in England, but no one can prove their heritage, as yet. John Townsend was a young man with a wife named Elizabeth, when they arrived in New Amsterdam ca 1640 along with John's brothers, Henry and Richard. John was a tanner and had a tanyard at the Collect (Fresh water) about where City Hall now stands in Manhattan. John and Elizabeth baptized their second son, Thomas, in the Dutch Reform Church, New Amsterdam in Dec. 1642. His older brother, John, was probably born ca 1640, but did not make the Dutch records. Henry Townsend was a witness to this baptism. The child died and on 9 April, 1645, John and Elizabeth baptized a second son named, Thomas, in the same church with most of the same witnesses. According to a petition that the widow Elizabeth Townsend filed with the Governor of New York (regarding the abandoned ) property in 1643) there was an Indian War in 1643, which nearly destroyed all of the Dutch settlement except for the old fort and Wall Street now marks the one wall. After two years, the then Dutch Governor, Willem Kieft, granted to the English speaking settlers, a patent to what we now know as Flushing. While John Townsend is named, Henry and Richard are not named, as they were single men and probably fell under the heading of "Associates".

John did die at Oyster Bay and his widow wrote an estate settlement in which she named all of her children. Since John died intestate, this was done at the request of her two brothers-in-law to protect the rights of the children, in case Elizabeth should remarry or die. Happily she did neither. The baptismal records were transcribed from the Dutch and belong to the NYG&B. Elizabeth's petition regarding the property she and John "first settled" appears in the first book of New York Deeds in the NY State Library in Albany.

Richard Townsend married Deliverance Coles, dau of Robert Coles at Providence Plantation, Warwick, Rhode Island, where he remarried to Elizabeth Weeks then joined his brothers at Oyster Bay. Henry Townsend married Anne Coles, dau of Robert Coles at Providence Plantation, Warwick, Rhode Island.

In 1647-8, all three brothers went to Providence Plantation, Warwick, Rhode Island. Rhode Island deeds show that Henry and John began to sell off their lands and homesteads in R.I. in 1654-55. Richard joined them and this time they settled in Jamaica, Queens Co., N,Y. None of the brothers were Quakers at the time of their coming to the new world. They were in this country long before George Fox founded what became the Society of Friends (Quakers). By now, Willem Kieft has been recalled and Stuyvesant is the governor and Henry Townsend hit head on. What the Townsend brothers and other English speaking settlers were protesting was the persecution of Quakers, whom they saw as their countrymen and the methods of persecution used were "unGodly". The English speaking settlers also wanted an English sheriff and magistrates and neither Kieft or Stuyvesant were having any part of that idea. While many of the English speaking settlers signed the QUAKER REMONSTRANCE, at Flushing, they remained low key. Not Henry. By 1661, when Oyster Bay, then a part of the Colony of Connecticut, offered Henry the "Mill Grant", he took it. We can only guess that Henry by then thought it a smart move. Henry had held the Mill Grant in Rhode Island as well. John followed his brother to Oyster Bay. Richard lost his wife at Jamaica, so he returned to Rhode Island, remarried and then rejoined his brothers at P.B. All three brothers died at O.B.

Henry did eventually become a Quaker. Quakerism remained in his descent for several generations. On the other hand, several of his descendents as close as grandchildren were educated at Princeton and were Anglican ministers. One, unfortunately, died on his way to Nova Scotia at the time of the Revolution. One of Henry's own sons died in Oneida, NY in 1687 and he held a Military Commission. Among John's children, one might say half-and-half. Most of Richard's descendents were Anglican. Many pieces of genealogy have been missed because researchers failed to check the records of St. George's in Hempstead, L.I., because they thought all Townsends were Quakers. There is no hard and fast rule about religion in these Townsends.

Richard married Deliverance Cole, daughter of Robert Cole and Mary Hawkhurst, in Warwick, Kent Co., Rhode Island. (Deliverance Cole was born about 1632 in Warwick, Rhode Island and died before 1658.)
Richard next married Elizabeth (Wicks) Weeks about 1657 in Jericho, Queens, New York. (Elizabeth (Wicks) Weeks was born about 1622 in Staines, Middlesex, England.)

Richard was born circa 1625 probably at England. He was the son of Father Townsend and ___ (?). Richard married Deliverance Coles, daughter of Robert Coles and Mary (?), circa 1652 at Warwick, Kent County, Rhode Island. Richard immigrated to this country and is first found on record in Warwick, Kent County, Rhode Island in 1645. At some point soon after the 1645 date, the three brothers moved to New Amsterdam. Because of their Quaker beliefs, difficulties arose and on the twenty third day of January, they were summoned to appear before the New Amsterdam council. By that time they had removed themselves and Richard was a confirmed resident of Warwick on that same date, 23 January 1648. Over the next several years, the records show all three brothers holding office in Warwick. In 1656, the three brothers along with other obtained a patent for Rusdorp, later to be called Jamaica. The brothers were again embroiled in religious difficulties and made several appearances before various courts in the next few years. On the 18th of February 1656, Richard & his brothers each received a home lot containing six acres in Jamaica and are definitely inhabitants there on 26th of November as they signed a public record of the town stating they were true owners of the land known as Jamaica. At the same time they each reserved ten acres of planting land & twenty acres of meadow. On the 27th of February 1658, Richard & his brothers were among those laying out more land in Jamaica. Eventually, the brothers tired of dealing with the Dutch rule & began associating with the original settlers of Oyster Bay with his brothers John & Henry having their names affixed to deeds in the early part of 1658. However in 1659, Richard was again residing in Warwick. There in 1661, he bought land of John Sweet and on the 10th of 6th month 1663, his brothers Henry & John, signed over their remaining holding in Warwick to him & his two daughters Dinah & Leah. Richard then sold his land in Rhode Island in 1666, and sometime after 10 October 1666, he was residing in Oyster Bay, Queens County, New York. By 24 December 1668, he resided at Matincock, Oyster Bay, and is on record as residing once again in Jericho on 7 September 1669.Richard married Elizabeth Wicks or Weeks before 10 October 1666 at Warwick, Kent County, Rhode Island. On this date, he sells land to his father-in-law, John Wickes of Warwick. Richard departed this life at Lusum, Queens County, Long Island, New York. On 23 September 1670, Letters of Administation were granted to his widow Elizabeth. On the 8th day of the 2nd month 1671, Richard's wife, Elizabeth, gives his wishes. "These presents declareth unto all whom it may any wise concern, that I, Elizabeth Townsend, widow of the late deceased Richard Townsend, of Lusum, near Oyster Bay, in the North Riding, on Long Island, with the advice and consent of my husband's brother, Henry Townsend, and John Townsend his cousin, of the above-said place, do consent and agree to divide and part my estate as followeth, being made executors by the Governor's order, because no will was made by my husband. Therefore, it is ordered and agreed that I am to have my house I now possess and house lot, with all the land I now possess belonging to it, fenced and broken up and improved, and so munch more westward joining to the rear of it to the sum. of fifteen acres, with meadow at south and Plains, during my life ; but the rest of the woodland my husband bought of Robert Williams is to be my son John Townsend's, when he comes to age, except six acres I reserve for a daughter, if I see cause. But after my decease my son Richard Townsend, now twelve weeks old, is to have my house and house lot and one-half the house plot, with the orchard that now is, and so much land to the rear of it westward, to the sum of fifteen acres, being all of the first purchase of the land of Robert Williams ; and at my decease, then my son John Townsend above said is to have all the lands remaining of the first and` second purchases, except six acres I reserve for a daughter above said, and the other half of the house plot above excepted to build on, if he see cause; but it is to be understood that the said six acres is on the north side of the last. purchase, and that all my husband's right of meadow and plains is to be divided between my sons John and Richard Townsend, for their own proper right and interest forever ; but if either of them die under age, his living brother is to possess and enjoy the deceased's lands as his own proper right; but, if I see cause, ten acres of plains is to be my on John's, when he comes to age, to possess and enjoy as the other woodland above said. And to my above said husband's two oldest daughters, Dinah and Leah, I do give, and by this deliver in present possession, for their part of their father's estate, two young horses, three years old, a piece, and two two-year-old heifers, two cushions, two feather pillows, two coverlets, a white wrought petticoat, and bedding blankets-all to be divided between them two; and the twenty acres of land the Town of Oyster Bay did give their father, I do also give and confirm unto the said Dinah and Leah, for their own proper right and interest; but if they sell it, I desire that for my son or my brother John Weeks, or one of the above-mentioned persons, may have knowledge and refusal of it, giving so much as another will for it. And to my three youngest daughters, Hannah, Deliverance, and Mary, I give in present possession one three-year-old bay mare, that is, in consideration of a colt their grandfather Weeks gave them. But all the rest of bedding, goods, and household stuff, with the rest of horses and cattle, are to remain in my hands for my use and comfort, toward the bringing up of my children; being but young and tender, do not know but it may be all spent in bringing them up, the estate being but small ; therefore to engage to give portions to them -I mean to my own three youngest daughters, Hannah, Mary, and Deliverance-it is hard for me to promise and engage, least that I have may be spent in bringing them up. Bat I do by this promise and firmly agree, that if I marry, or go out of this jurisdiction in way of removal, to give an invoice of all movables, household stuff, goods, and chattels unto my husband's brother, Henry Townsend, and his cousin, John Townsend, who are chosen by me, being related to the children, and my brother John Weeks, if he comes to dwell here in this jurisdiction, for overseers ; but if he come not here, then the said Henry Townsend and John Townsend may act as overseers between the children and myself. But if one or both of them die, then all, or some of them (I mean of my children under age that then are), shall have liberty to choose one or more, as need shall require, provided they inhabit in this jurisdiction, for their over-seers. That then the said overseers that are then extants are to take the invoice, if they like it, or take another themselves, if they please ; that I may then have my thirds out of all the movable goods and chattels, and the other two-thirds is to be divided amongst my three daughters, Hannab, Mary, and Deliverance, or to them that are then alive; and the overseers shall by this have power to do it if I marry again, or remove out of this jurisdiction above said, or if I decease it shall be the same, only then my one-third s hall be theirs to whom I shall give it ; but if I remain here during this my widowhood, I have liberty to give to my own three daughters above said, on marriage or otherwise, for their portion as I shall see cause, according to my ability. And to every of the above-mentioned promises and engagements, I firmly engage to perform. As witness my hand and seal, this eighth day of the 2d month, 1671."ELIZABETH TOWNSEND." In presence of us," JOSEPH NICHOLSON, " MARY WILLIS, cc HENRY TOWNSEND, " JOHN TOWNSEND." And we, the above-mentioned Henry and John Townsend, do own and consent to the above said, and do stand as witnesses also."³

A Memorial of John, Henry, and Richard Townsend & their descendants, pp. 211-215 - RICHARD 1ST. - NOTHING is known of this youngest of the Townsend brothers until he appears at Jamaica, in 1656. The first time his name occurs on the Oyster Bay Records is in 1668, when he bought land at Lusum, of Robert Williams. It is only in connection with that, and other purchases and allotments, that he appears upon the Records. His first wife -vas a sister of Henry's wife, and a daughter of Robert Coles. The second was Elizabeth Wicks, or Weeks, of Warwick, R. I., whose brother John married Rose, daughter of John 1st. The date of his death is not known, but the settlement of his estate, which we copy below, is dated early in 1671, and as his son Richard was then but twelve weeks old, he could not have been dead a great while.

Robert Coles^1,2,3 M, b. circa 1597, d. before 28 October 1655
Robert was born circa 1597 at Sudbury, County Suffolk, England. Robert married Mary (?) circa 1630. Robert came with the fleet that brought Winthrop to America. Robert requested to be freeman in Roxbury on the 19th of October 1630 & was admitted on the 18th of May 1631. He was disenfranchised on 4 March 1633-4 but readmitted 14 May 1634. He was admitted to the Church of Roxbury as its 8th member & his wife Mary as its 34th member. On the 16th of August 1631, he was fined five marks for being disorderly with drink. On the 6th of March 1631-2, he was fined 20s. for being drunk at Charlton in October last & on the 3rd of April 1632, he confessed his fault in attempting to excuse himself at the previous court, and had his fine remitted. On the 9th of May 1632, he was representative for Roxbury to General Court. On the 3rd of September 1633, he was fined £10 for "abusing himself shamefully with drink, enticing John Shotswell his wife to incontinency, & other misdemeanor". On the 4th of March 1634-5, it was ordered that he "shall not pay more of his fine of £10, for drunkenness, &c, than hath been already levied in strong water". On the 28th of December 1635, He was granted 300 acres of land about three miles from Salem. By the 16th of July 1638, Emanuel Downing had purchased this three hundred acres. On the 25th of December 1637, he was granted one acre of marsh and meadow, for a household of eight. He received a share of meadow as a Patuxett proprietor, 8 October 1638. All his fines were remitted or discharged in the general amnesty of 6 September 1638. The following is a Salem court record regarding Robert. "The court orders Robert Cole for drunkness by him committed at Roxbury, shall be disenfranchised, wear about his necke and soe to hand upon his outward a "D" made of redd clothe and sett upon white, to contynue this for a year and not to leave at any time when he comes amongst company, under the penality of X £s for the first offense, and V pounds for the second and after to be punished by the court as they think meet; also is enjoyned to appear at the next general court, and to contynue this until it shall be ended." The same month, he went with John Winthrop Jr. to occupy Agarnam (Ipswich) and began settlement of that town. He apparently reforms and is one of the twelve men who joins Roger Williams in the settlement of Providence, Rhode Island in October of 1638. He was one of the founders of the first settlement of Providence March 16 of 1639. He was one of the seventeen who purchased the Pautuxet meadows and he made his home there. He paid a town rate at Providence on the 2nd of September 1650 totalling £3 6s. 8d., placing him among the five richest men in town. Long after his death he continued to draw land from his rights in Providence. By 1648, Robert had moved to Warwick and was there until his death.
[Note: There has been question as to whether Robert had one or two wives - presently, it is believed the evidence shows two wives: Mary & Mary Hawkhurst - klm 23 October 2004] Robert married 2nd Mary Hawkhurst, daughter of Samson Hawkhurst and ___ (?), circa 1637 at Warwick, Kent County, Rhode Island. Robert departed this life at Warwick, Kent County, Rhode Island.⁴ On the 28th of October 1654 [probably intended to be 1655] the Warwick town council met to deal with his estate noting he was late deceased & intestate. His inventory showed that the estate totalled £501, with debts of £112 13s. His wife Mary was appointed administrator. The distribution of the estate was ordered as follows: to his eldest son John £80 & a mare; to 2nd son, Daniel £50 when twenty-one; 3rd son, Nathaniell £40 when twenty-one; 4th son, Robert £40 when twenty-one; & to Sarah £40 at marriage or at twenty-one. The children under age to be in care of their mother. On the 5th of December 1655, his son John having "agreed before the Town Council to receive fourscore pound and a mare of my mother-in-law of my portion and accordingly it is ratified by writing bearing date the 25 of October 1655, relinquished any claim he might have "unto any of my deceased father's estate, housing or lands belonging to me in New England". On the 20th of January 1655-6, his wife, Mary confirmed a deed wherein "my husband before his death sold unto my son-in-law Henry Townsend a certain parcel of meadow being 3 acres". On the 5th of April 1656, she granted to "my son-in-law Richard Townsend 8 acres of meadow".
