 REF: ANCESTORS
 INFO: Father was Joseph Towles
 Mother was Sarah Terrill I know very little about Jane(our Henry's mother) however, the Towles family was quite distinguished and prominent in Virginia. The immigrant ancestor was Henry Towles, who came from Liverpool to Accomac County, VA and married Anne Stokely (a member of a family settled at an early date on the Eastern Shore of Virginia).
 The Towles lived in Accomac, Lancaster and Middlesex Counties in Virginia. The Towles family included:
 Colonel Henry Towles of "Towles Point", born 1738 died 1799, was a member of the Lancaster County Committee of Safety, 1774-1776, was a Colonel of militia during the Revolution, and apparently County Lieutenant of Lancaster in 1794. He was also a member of the House of Delegates in 1783, and probably other years, clerk of Lancaster, 1794-1799 and a member of the Virginia Convention of 1788. He married Judith Diggs.
 Colonel Thomas Towles (Son of Stokeley, Jane's Uncle) of Millbroook, Spotsylvania County, 1750-1813. At the beginning of the Revolution he was quartermaster to the Caroline county battalion of militia. Later in life he was a Colonel of militia, and represented Spotsylvania county in the House of Delegates in 1783.
 Major Stokeley Towels (Son of Stokely, Jane's Uncle) was a Captain of militia in Goochland County during the Revolution.
 Colonel Oliver Towles of Spotsylvania 1736-1825. Oliver studied law under Edmund Pendleton and had a large practice at the outbreak of the Revolution, but then at once entered the army and served with distinguished gallantry throughout the war. He was commissioned Captain 6th Virginia Regiment, 216/1776, and Major 8/15/1777. Was taken prisoner at the battle of Germantown and not exchanged until 1780.
 Colonel Oliver Towles, Campbell Co., VA, officer in the War of 1812. Dr. John Towles (1779-1832). Physician and sugar planter, moved to Louisiana and had a plantation called "Rickahock'. Died of Yellow fever.
  Major John Turnbull Towles, (1815-1878) major in the Confederate States Army, a member of the legislature of that states.
  The following pages show more members of the Towles family. With their rich history of attorneys, physicians and military service, you can see where the values, education and ambition instilled in Henry and his brothers came from. Lisa Allen Baggett November, 2002
