John Townsend and Elizabeth Bachelor Marriage

Lookup For: John Townsend and Elizabeth Bachelor (their marriage was too early to have been in Adair Co.)  It was in the Roots & Branches book which is a compilation of 5-generation trees from various researchers.  This chart was done by Dorothy Martin, 2408 Evans Drive, Plano, TX 75075.  She lists John Townsend: born ca. 1761; married to Elizabeth Bachelor, 4 Oct 1785; died 4 Aug 1834.  She has Elizabeth born ca 1757 and died after 1845.  She
then traces her line on down through their son William Townsend, Sr., born ca 1790 in VA, died 10 June 1861 in Johnson Co., MO; married to Mary "Polly" ??? born ca 1788 in PA.   The only Townsend marriage I found was in the 1802-1840 book and it was a Thomas Townsend to Nancy Simpson, 1822.  The 1850 Census lists the following Townsend head of households: William, Sr.; William, Jr.; and H.C.  I found no deeds (1802-1811), no bible records, and civil cases.  There were only 2 Townsends in any of the cemetery books.  They were Andrea and Byron.
