Townsend Burial Plot
Campbell's Pond - Route 20, Park Corner, Prince Edward Island, C0B, Canada
Formally Recognized: 2009/05/11

DESCRIPTION OF HISTORIC PLACE
The Townsend Burial Plot is a small cemetery located on the eastern shore of Campbell's Pond in Park Corner. This pond is also known as the "Lake of Shining Waters" made famous by L.M. Montgomery. The site once contained several headstones, but these have been moved to the Geddie Memorial Cemetery in Springbrook. The remains of those interred, however, are still on the site which is now overgrown with some small bushes near the bank of the pond.
HERITAGE VALUE
This cemetery is valued for its historical association with the Townsend family of Park Corner as well as other early pioneers to the area.
James Townsend (1739-1806) emigrated from Berkshire, England, with his wife, Elizabeth (Davis) Townsend and their family in 1775. Their vessel, the Elizabeth, was wrecked in New London Bay on a sandbar. Accompanying the Townsends were members of the Blennerhassett, Churchward, and Curtis families. Thomas Curtis later published an account of the voyage.
This was the second trip for the Elizabeth. A year earlier, she had taken out members of the Adams, Chappell, Cole, and Roake families. This first voyage was led by Robert Clark, a Quaker merchant from London who had purchased Lot 21 on St. John's Island and hoped to establish a New London there. After the outbreak of the American Revolution, his plans were dealt a setback and he went bankrupt.
The cemetery located along the bank of what became Campbell's Pond may have begun in 1795, when Elizabeth Townsend died. It was never recorded on known maps of PEI and its exact dimensions are unclear. The site came to also be used by the Montgomery, Moorfield, and Truegard families. Three headstones existed on the site for the Townsend interments and one for the Truegards, but these were moved to the Geddie Memorial Cemetery in Springbrook and placed behind the Soldiers' Monument. Farmland continued to encroach on the site and it was likely thought the stones were threatened. The remains of those individuals interred, however, remain on the site.
The cemetery is an important link to the history of early settlement in the province.

Upper Point de Bute, May 18 - An aged and esteemed resident of Upper Point de Bute passed away on Friday last when the death took place of Mrs. Alfred TINGLEY, after a lingering illness. The deceased lady was eighty years of age and her passing is mourned by a very wide circle of acquaintances. Mrs. Tingley is survived by her husband, three sons and three daughters. The daughters, who were with her at the time of her death, are Mrs. McKinney of Roslindale, Mrs. John Fawcett of Amherst, and Mrs. Bliss Oulton, of Jolicure. The sons are Messrs. Chas. and Harris Tingley of Boston, and Mr. Judson Tingley of Upper Point de Bute. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon and was very largely attended. Among those present were a number from Sackville and Amherst and outside points. At 2 o'clock the remains were taken to the Baptist Church, where service was held. Appropriate music was rendered by the choir. After the church service, many followed the remains to the grave. The pall-bearers were Messrs. J.K. Spence, Byron Atkinson, Frank Trueman, Charles Bowser. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful, silently testifying to the esteem in which Mrs. Tingley was so widely held. The officiating clergymen were Rev. R.J. Colpitts and Rev. C. Flemington. (From the Amherst Daily News newspaper, dated Tuesday, 19 May 1908, page 8.)^1,3

Birth*

Leonard Townsend was born circa 1841 in Point de Bute, Westmorland County, New Brunswick, 45.903616,-64.250448

; there is some doubt as to whether Leonard is a son of Thomas and Eunice. There is a Leonard Townsend listed in the 1851 census when Eunice was a widow and head of the household. There is no entry in the relationship to head of household box for Leonard. There is also a wide difference in age between Leonard and Eunice's known children, leading one to speculate that Leonard might have been a nephew or grandson. That Leonard was recorded as being 9 years old, which coincides with his known birth year.^2,3
