    Notes:

    The following was derived from recollections of Gertrude Lasbury Marcy, daughter of Grace Townsend Lasbury and from Gladys H. Warren (from Marilyn Macdonald)

    James married Grace Townsend of Old Town., Maine on April 19, 1904. Grace's father was Ezra Gilman Townsend, born 7 Jun 1838, Portland, Cumberland, Maine, USA and worked for years as a wool sorter for Chapin Humphrey. He died on 23 Feb 1914, Broad Brook, Hartford, Connecticut, USA. Her mother was Deborah Annie Ramsdell, born in 1841 in Lincolnville, Maine and worked at the old "National House" as a table girl. She died on 5 Jun 1893, Hudson, Penobscot, Maine, USA.

    Deborah's mother died very young on the family farm in Hudson, Maine. Deborah's father was a sea captain and sailed around Cape Horn (according to Gertrude Lasbury Marcy and the Lasbury genealogy). He was killed on the wharf at Winterport, Maine by a man who was indignant at not being hired. He struck him with "brass knuckles" in front of the people assembled to see the ship sail. Grace had four sisters, Nellie, Hattie, Maud, and Annie (age 9 when Grace was born) and two brothers, Charlie and Frank. Charles was killed by lightning and worked for Brown Thomson Company in Hartford, Connecticut. Maud and Grace thought the world of each other (14 months difference in age). The family called them "Sol" and Jonah".

    Grace was born on November 23, 1885 (likely in or near Bangor, Maine) and died at age 77 on April 6, 1962 in Broad Brook, Connecticut. She came to Connecticut with her family at about age 6 (based on Annie coming to Connecticut at age 15). Grace and Maud lived with their Sister Harriet Chase on Evergreen Avenue upon coming the Hartford. She was an apprentice dressmaker in Bangor, Maine (according to Gertrude Lasbury Marcy). Her sister Annie was a dressmaker and was put on the first floor of the dress shop as a hemmer because of her good looks. On the Connecticut tobacco farm, Grace cooked and baked on an old wood and coal stove in the early years, often a complete 3-5 course dinner twice every day for 4-6 tobacco farm hands and never complained. Grace loved to garden, sported large flowery hats and made the best molasses cookies and fresh bread with molasses almost every day. She was an accomplished horsewoman and often drove her horse to South Windsor, Connecticut to see her sister Maud Graham on Graham Road.

    James and Grace had three girls, Helen, Hazel and Gertrude (youngest child) and James Jr. Helen and James Malcolm Macdonald had two children, Marilyn Steele and James Malcolm Jr. Hazel and Burt Simmons had one child, Elizabeth Jane, and Margaret and James Lasbury had daughter Suzanne Peck Simmons (no relation to the above family) and son James III. (See page 202 for more details of Lasbury Family Genealogy).
