Documentation: Weimar Oddfellows Cemetery records, 1870, 1880, 1900 census records, newspaper account of the murder of William Clements. The Townsend family was involved in a blood feud in Colorado County in the late 1880s that continued until William Clements was shot in the back in 1911. His attacker was acquitted as he was angry over "a business deal that went bad", whatever that could have been!
