Greetings All!

Does anyone have any information on the family of William TOWNE b. 1598
England d. 1685 Topsfield, MA and his wife Joanna BLESSING b. 1594 England
d. 1674 Topsfield, MA. They were married 1620 England. These are the
parents of Rebecca Towne NURSE, Mary Towne ESTY and Sarah Towne
CLOYCE....the three sisters were accused of being witches during the
hysteria of 1692.

I list 8 children for William and Joanna; Jacob, Joseph, Mary, Rebecca,
Sarah, John, Susannah and Edmund. Susannah seems to be in question, she
appears to have been born 1625 England and *married* in 1632! to Thomas
Hayward. This can't be right. If anyone has any information on this family
I would greatly appreciate it if you would contact me. I have information
to share if anyone's interested.

Thank you,
Lisa
