Florida Pioneer Papers

This is the worksheet we used to develop the Pioneer Papers that prove that I am descended from Allen Townsend of Madison County and he was living in Florida prior to 1845. This will give you an idea of what detail they are looking for. We used 18 separate Census, Certificates of Birth, Death, and Marriage, Obituaries, Military Records, Pension Records, Wills, Bible Records, and Voter Records. With my wife's help we were able complete a couple of rewrites and I received my Certificate at the State meeting.

Applicant: Henry Luke McLeod, Jr. - - - - - - - - - Pioneer: Allen Townsend
