A. A. Townsend
Absalom Austin Townsend (December 7, 1810 - 1879) was a US Army officer, Wisconsin-state politician, and a California pioneer.
==Early years==
Townsend, third son of Samuel and Sarah Townsend, was born in Sussex County, New Jersey in 1810 (or 1811). When he was two years old, his father moved to Steuben County, New York, where he resided till 1826. His father, now a widower, having purchased some military land in Western Illinois, started on October 15, 1826, with his eldest son, and Absalom, and arrived at Peoria, Illinois, on January 1, 1827. On May 18, they arrived at the lead mines in the vicinity of Gratiot’s Grove, and engaged in the business of mining. But they were soon interrupted by the Winnebago War in July. The elder brother volunteered in William S. Hamilton’s company, while Townsend and his father forted at Gratiot’s Grove, with Townsend serving under Gen. Zachary Taylor ("Old Rough & Ready"). After the war was over, Townsend returned to mining. He served during the whole of the Black Hawk War (1832) as a volunteer, under Col. Henry Dodge, and participated in the Battle of Bad Axe on August 2, 1832.〔
