Mary Townsend

Thomas and Mary Newgate had five children..Thomas, Samuel, John, Andrew, and Elizabeth. Source..Genealogy of the Townsend Family by Charles Townsend Rich 1877. Thomas preceded his wife Mary in death. Tradition and family records inform us that Thomas Townsend came from London, and settled at Lynn, in the colony of Massachusetts Bay, about 1635, and as John Winthrop, his cousin, was governor of this colony, it is probable that his puritanical inclination caused him to select a home in New England, where many of his kinsmen and neighbors had emigrated a few years before. His wife was Mary, probably a sister of John Newgate or Newdigate, a merchant of Boston, who was born in Southwark, near London bridge, in 1590, and who in his will dated May 8, 1665, calls him brother-inlaw, and leaves him a legacy of £10, to be paid him within one year after his decease.

Thomas Townsend was granted sixty acres of land with Lord Brook and others, by the town of Lynn, in 1638, and he owned other lands near the iron works and at Rumney Marsh, Chelsea. His town-house and lot of seven acres was on the south side the mill street, near the common, and next the Mansfield property, and it was sold by his grandson Thomas, son of Andrew, to Daniel Mansfield, of Lynn, July 25, 1702.

THE TOWNSEND FAMILY.

He was made a freeman March 14, 1639, calls himself husbandman in his well-drawn deeds' of gift to his children, and from his serving the public on more than one occasion seems to have been an important citizen, and from papers bearing his name, and his beautiful autograph, now to be seen in the secretary of state's office in Boston, we have sufficient evidence of his ability. He died in Lynn, Dec. 22, 1677, aged 83, and his wife Mary died of camp-fever, probably at the house of her son Andrew, Feb. 28, 1692. They had:
