Biography
Possibly one of the "Miss Townsends" Seward refers to in 18341124WHS_FMS1.
One of twelve children of John Townsend (Mayor of Albany from 1829-1832) and Abby Spencer Townsend. In June of 1840, FMS and her children, traveling from Albany to Auburn, encountered the Townsend family on the train. During this journey, FMS “succeeded in keeping all children away from us,” including the Townsends, by proclaiming her suspicion that WSJ was suffering from whooping cough (18400619FMS_LMW1).
Julia married around 1847 to Allen Munroe, a businessman and politician who was elected Mayor of Syracuse in 1854 and was also a member of the New York State Senate from 1860-1863.
