    Listed in the 1860 Cocke County, Tennessee Census near John and Polly Townsend.

    James M. Townsend served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. He was Private, 5th Tennessee Calvary enlisted for one year in 1862 discharged in 1863. James Townsend along with his brother Thomas were accused of murder in Blount County, Tennessee. He fled to Sevier County, Tennessee about 1869. No evidence was given to prove his guilt. The Sevier County, Tennessee Federal Census listed him as a farmer with $500 personal property and $179 worth of land.

    Charter member of the Shady Grove Baptist Church in Sevier County, Tennessee where he is buried with his wife.

    Kathy Townsend lists parents as Thomas and Mary (Robinson) Townsend. However, based on Cocke County 1850 and 1860 census, James seems to be son of John and Mary "Polly" Townsend.
