Jerusalem Hill Cemetery,Litchfield, Herkemer County, NY
I just received a copy of Stephen's will from Lucy Stauring, another Townsend relative. I am very excited by it because it does list the children. Previously we had only the names of Isaac and Morgan and were unsure of the number and names of any others. His will lists the following:
Son: Zachariah
Son: Isaac
Son: Stephen P.
Son: Morgan L
Daughter: Esther (married William Bouck)
Daughter: Julia (or Juliaett I'll let you know when I find out for sure) married Samuel Wheelock
Daughter: Jemimah (married Abram Hadley)
Daughter: Ruth (married Bernard Crim)
Daughter: Huldah (married William J. Bouck) Don't know if this is a cousin or brother of Esther's husband or not. I'll try to find out.
Son: Albert G.
Daughter: Elizabeth (married Daniel Baldwin) was widdowed at the time the will was written.
Albert G. was the executor of the will. I would suspect that Albert may have been the eldest brother from that and the fact that he and Elizabeth seem to have gotten the largest shares of property following Mercy's death.
