NameZ-TownerOrphany Towner is 72. 
Story After her husband's death at the age of 85, she lived mainly in Woodbury, where she died at the age of 104 years. The 100th anniversary of her birth was celebrated in Sept. 1872, in Woodbury, an extended account of which was published at the time in pamphlet form at New Haven, compiled by Rev. A. N. Lewis. She was a notable instance of the longevity of the Towner family. At the age of 80 she became totally blind, and occupied much of her time in quiet contemplation and making simple verses. On the anniversary occasion of her 100th birthday, she repeated, in a strong voice which filled the church, some verses composed at the age of 94, of which the following is a specimen:

"Now I am blind, all things appear dark here below, But there is a bright world to which I hope soon to go, For Jesus my guiding star will see me safe through, If I put my trust in Him, which I hope I do."2

Events

NameZ-TownerAbraham Towner is 73. 
Story He lived in New Milford awhile and afterwards in Danbury, and is mentioned in the records that remained after the burning of Danbury by the British, as "Abraham of Danbury." He died in Danbury in 1760, and left an estate of sixty pounds, of personal property only, which estate was settled by his widow in Feb. and April, 1761. She married again one Ebenezer Weed, and he was appointed guardian of Abraham's two sons, Enos or Enoch, and Elijah.

Slight record has been found of dates or order or birth for his children. when Danbury was burned by the British most records were destroyed. Olive was baptized in New Milford in 1754, and Rhoda in Newtown in 1760, shown by records in those places. State military rolls show that William was clerk of the 8th Comany, 10th Regt., Conn. line in 1775; that Enoch was in the 10th Co., 5th Regt., 1775; and that Elijah was in the 5th Regt. in 1780. Tradition has said that Abraham died on Lake Champlain during the French war, 1755; but a probate record in Danbury shows this to be an error.2

Events

NameZ-TownerGershom Towner is 74. 
Story Tradition among the descendants of Elijah states that about revolutionary times Gershom, uncle o fLElijah, settled in the county of Steuben, N.Y., and this seems credible, because it is certain that Towners belonging to several generations have lived in that county, in Bath, Avoca, and other localities, and numerous others are found in the Western States whose ancestors moved from that part of th eState. Before going to Steuben, it seems probably that he was in Columbia Co. for a time, as a son, Gershom, lived there and had children born, one, Daniel, in 1774; this son, 201, Gershom, afterward went to Steuben. His nephew, Elijah, went from Columbia Co. to Pa., and it is traditionally said that some of Gershom Sr.'s family visited Elijah and his descendants in Rome, Pa., as relatives.2 
Birthc 1732He was born c 1732 in Danbury, Fairfield County, Connecticut.2
