     Biography of Coleson Townsend:
Coleson Townsend is first found on the 2 Apr 1802 Tax list as one of two tithable males age 16-21 reported in the household of Light Townsend in the Warren Co. KY Tax List. He is next found as Coleson Townsend on the 17 Apr 1803 list and as a male of tithable age (21 or older) in his own right. Based on these dates we deduce that Coleson was born circa 1783 near Hilson's Bay in Marlboro District, South Carolina as that is where his father was at the time.
