Townshend was the fifth generation of the Townshend family to live in New Haven, since his forebear Jeremiah Townsend arrived there from Boston in 1739. Mr. Townshend was a member of the First Church of Christ in New Haven, (Center Church), pictured here appropriately in the center with the tall steeple. The Center Church was gathered in 1639. The building shown here is the fourth meeting house of the Center Church, designed by the famous New Haven architect Ithiel Town between 1812 and 1814.Condition
