Research Notes

• Note: Many OLTs list his death = Feb 1827, Estill County, however he appears in the 1830 census in Montgomery County, followed in 1840 by his widowed wife, therefore, this death date/place does not appear to be correct.

   [cos1776 Note: Some believe that William "Duly" Townsend was a son of Micajah's sister, Elizabeth Hall, who might have been a first wife of Garrett Townsend which would explain why Micajah Hall had a particular interest in his sister's son.]
