Subject: Descendents of Richard Townsend and his brothers/Oyster Bay

Richard Townsend appears on Oyster Bay LI NY records in 1668. His first wife, Deliverance Coles was the daughter of Robert Coles. They had two daughters, Dinah and Leah.He and his second wife, Elizabeth Weeks had ay least 7 children. One of these was John Townsend. Reportly John had to leave the NY Colony in 1692, when he was 17, because of his enthusiastic support for Quakers. Jonh settled in Cape May County, NJ
I am looking for information on John's siblings as well as his half sisters and their families. I am a direct descendant of John Townsend as well as a Quaker. I have a considerable amount of info on my family in South Jersey, but not NY.
