S., Townsend. Townsends that Malcom Townsend married Emma Virginia Cox, a descendant of Samuel Cox who married Anne Underhill, making a double connection. The Townseuds in the United States emigrated from Norfolk, England, from 1630 to 1635. They brought with them the zeal that had inspired their kinsmen to noble deeds against Spain in the latter part of the preceding century. They held indeed the most advanced sentiments of that day and sympathized with Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson and o...thers, and were not in harmony with the persecuting spirits in the colony. Brooks Adams, in his Emancipation of Massachusetts, states that Roger Williams' controversy with the authorities was two-fold. He maintained that the land of the Indians should not be taken without purchase. The old Puritans held that the earth was the garden of the Lord, and peculiarly the heritage of the saints, that they were the saints, and wherever they saw land that was not fenced and waving with corn, they had a right to take it.
