Leanne:
There are several "Henry" Towns. theHenry (1809-1870) should have as his father Thomas (1772-1843). It is the Thomas Town who is his father that I am convinced was a bastard son of King George III and Sarah Short.
This is where the information gets muddied. Sarah Short was married to Thomas (1737-1809) at the time of Thomas' (1772-1843) [and Mary and Elizabeth's] birth.
There is no provenance for this, only my strong conviction and too many co-incidences.
The Jane, daughter of Thomas (1772-1843) was born 1800. But Thomas (1772-1843) was married to Jane Longley-no birth date and she has only one husband, Thomas.Jane (1800- ) has a husband, Robert Emery, no dates and is the sister of Henry (1809-1870) And here comes another confusing part. Henry was married to Harriet Daughtrey (1814-1900) who "was born Burrows or Burroughs". His son Thomas (1834-1911) was married to a Harriet Burrows (1932- ). Thomas (1834-1911) had a second wife, Maria Keifhaber.
The Thomas (1737-1809) you mention has parents John (1691- ) and Anne Cook (1702- ) and grand parents William Town (165801992) and Elizabeth Asherden (1660-1692). and that is as far back as I go.
From this part forward the data seems to fit and be less confusing.
Perhaps you could help sort this information out.
