I have no known relation to this Towson family. I am posting this information for the benefit of other Towson family researchers. I hope this helps someone make their family connections!

buried babies

My third great grandparents, Charles Towson and Frances Tarr, had ten children. Four of these children died in infancy or childhood and are buried in the same plot, 481 FF in Baltimore Cemetery. Those children are:William (born abt. February 1868, died abt. December 1868)James (born abt. Feb 1868, died abt. July 1868)Sarah Ellen (born Sept. 9, 1876, died Mar. 27, 1881)Henry "Harry" (born abt. Mar 1880, died abt. Sept 1880) I have had the best luck finding evidence of Sarah Ellen's life and death. Baltimore City began recording births and deaths in 1875, the year before her birth, and I have both her birth and death certificates.
