As I mentioned in a previous post, Katie and I went to Harrisville, NH, ancestral home of the Townsend family. Kate Townsend was Katie's great-great grandmother. She was born on a farm in Harrisville (which was actually in Dublin when she was born - they moved the town line later). Kate's parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, going back to Revolutionary War soldier, David Townsend, Jr., are all buried in the Dublin cemetery. We went to all the places we went with John and Cynthia, but in addition went to the town library where Katie used her phone to scan pages of the Dublin Town History which covered the genealogy of the Townsends. Then we went to the Dublin cemetery and actually found all three generations of Townsends: David Milton and Helen (Kate's parents), Jonathan and Cynthia (her grandparents) and David and Tamesin (her great- grandparents). Kate herself is buried with her husband, Josiah Langley, in Manchester, NH, along with Florence Langley (Kate's daughter) and her husband, James Harris, Shirley's parents. That will be another trip.
