Acknowledgments
Thank you to Katherine Belden for creating WikiTree profile Townsend-2336 through the import of Bourne Family Tree Gedcom.GED on Jul 31, 2013. Elaine Wright Wimberly - great great granddaughter of Martha Jane Townsend Driscoll Wood and my sister.
Margaret Shandorah Driscoll Thomas - her grandchild by first husband Grandma Thomas verbally gave this history in her younger years to my mother and it was written down at the time. Thus, I am taking this info from family history. I have also confirmed it through online research - I have it all laid out in Ancestry.com [public profile] and am slowly transcribing this info into wikitree.com.
