Townsend Genealogy & History
Townsend is an English name given to someone who lived at the far end of a village, the town's end, derived from Middle English "tun", meaning village, and "ende", meaning end. Townsend family history dates back to feudal times in Norfolk, where they were the Lords of the Snoring Magna (Great Snoring) manor. Early Townsend records are also found in Yorkshire, and subsequently other northern England localities. Spelling variations include Tonsend, Tounende, Townen, Townshend, and Tuneshende. The family coat of arms displays three silver escallops (scallop shells), signifying peace and long journeys. The first name-holder in American Townsend genealogy immigrated to Massachusetts in 1630.
