The next we hear the name isone hundred and thirty years later, in the reign of Henry IV, whenupon thewindows of the church in Kennington, Kent Co., unpaled withthat of Ellis of the same place, were the arms of a family by thisname being, argent, ona chevron, a sable, three cross crosslets,ermine. The next reference to the name known to the writer, is in thecounty of Lincoln where it has existed for more than four hundredyears." (William Towne, his Daughters, and the Witchcraft Delusionsby Mrs. Abbie W. Towne for the History of Topsfield) Mr. Edwin Hubbard in his compilation The Towne Family says, "In thiscountry, it is believed there are few families deriving their namefrom a single pair, that can show a larger number of descendants thatWilliam and Joanna Towne of Salem. Counting only the descendants ofthe Towne daughters, of the first and second generations, a list ofmore than ten thousand might easily be made out, without coming downlater than the earlier portion of the nineteenth century."

About Towne Vol. XXII No. 1 March 2002 "Editor's Note: In almost all Towne biographies and records on thechildren of William and Joanna (Blessing) Towne, it has always beenstated that Joseph Towne, born in 1639, was their youngest child. NowTFA's outstanding genealogist Lois Payne Hoover, has established thatSarah Towne was born circa 1642. "The History of Topsfield,Massachusetts" by George Francis Dow published by the TopsfieldHistorical Society, 1940, reprinted 1999, pp. 324 has the following:"Sarah joined the village church in 1690, then being about 48 years ofage." In the "Essex County Quarterly Court" records (Vol. 7:250) thereis an entry where she deposed 3 June 1679 and states she was agethirty-seven. Lois also says, "This year of birth in 1642 makes herchild bearing years more reasonable also." We are indebted to ourgenealogist for establishing a more correct age for Sarah." At some point I found a birthdate for Sarah but am now unable tolocate the source for that information - the date I had recorded was;born January 11, 1636/37 in Salem, Essex Co., Massachusetts.
