Townsend (Kinsale)
This branch of the Townsend family were closely connected with that of Garrycloyne. The Pallacetown property had been purchased by Richard Townsend, son of Horatio Townsend of Donaghmore, in the eighteenth century. His wife was a member of the Daunt family who had estates near Kinsale. Their son Samuel P. Townsend was one of the principal lessors in Clontead Parish, barony of Kinsale, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Lands in the barony of Kinsale, the property of William H, Rev. Thomas and Edward Townsend, were offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court in November 1871. The sale included the houses known as Harbour Hill House and Knockduff House.
