Our English Roots

Over the course of a number of years, Charles Farrow has been searching for records relating to Isaac Estey's mother's ancestors - so the ancestors of all Mary Towne Estey descendants- Robert and William Salmon. Charles has written a series of detailed articles for About Towne tracing this family, In these articles, he provided extensive transcriptions of documents he found. Now he is sending us images of the actual documents. Four are included here and more will be added as they are received. Please remember that these are Towne Family Association proprietary documents, and that while you may download them to read at your leisure for your own personal use, you may not include them in published work or post on the web in any format.

Following our trip to England in 2012, Rae Johnson compiled a booklet containing photographs and information about the churches we visited. We are in the process of adding copies of documents associated with each church to the booklet. This is a work in progress since adding each individual file is a time-consuming process. These record images are the property of TFA, Inc. and are provided for educational purposes only, for your own personal use. They may not be shared by electronic means on any social media or on a genealogical website like ancestry.com or familysearch.com.
