- Notes: John TOWNSHEND 1780 at Kenton was the last of the family. The different
spelling is inconsequential, although originally I thought he may not belong but
parish records reveal that he did. Another case of a clerk spelling the name as it
sounded - or as he thought it should be written!
At Stoke Damerel in 1803 John married Jane OLVER. Another marriage turned
up in 1809 to widow Susanna MOGRIDGE at St Thomas, Exeter, the same church
where she married Richard EVANS in 1806. Poor Susanna didn't have a lot of luck
with husbands and was widowed again two years later. John died on 25 Jun 1812
and is buried at Sowton near his mother. No issue was found.
