Looking for information on Frederick De Peyster Townsend – my grandfather.
Thank you for your inquiry. I’ve just returned from being away several days. Give me a couple of days to respond with whatever information I can find in the Travis Society files. Ed Homsey, Travis Society Archivist.
Victoria,
I have sent you an email detailing the rather scanty information that the Travis Society possesses about your grandfather, Frederick de Peyster Townsend.
