William Townes (1711-1774) is my 4th great grandfather. Previous family research and basic knowledge is a clear line to him. However, some sources say he was married to (Nancy) Ann Childers, and others say he was married to Rebecca Clarke. They do not list both -- it is always either one or the other, and their children attributed to both mothers.

I have been trying to figure this out, and also identify who Childers is.

If you have any information that could help me sort this out, I'd be very grateful.

Rebecca Clarke was a New England Towne.

The 1929 genealogy of the Townes family says his wife was Anne, a Childers or Wood.
