Francis Towneley (1709–July 30, 1746), was an English Jacobite who was executed for his role in the rebellion of 1745. ==Early life== He was the sixth son of Charles Towneley of Towneley Hall, Lancashire, by his wife Usula, daughter of Phillip Fermor of Tusmore, Oxfordshire. His family were Roman catholics and Jacobite supporters. His father and grandfather had been implicated in the plot to secure the return to the English throne of King James II in 1690 that resulted in the Battle of the Boyne.〔 His eldest brother, Richard, joined the rebel army under Thomas Forster at Preston in 1715, and was taken prisoner at the surrender of that town. Richard was tried, but after an expensive defence, the jury found him not guilty.〔 Towneley went to France in 1728, where Jacobite sympathisers found him a commission in the royal service. He stayed with the French for more than a decade, distinguishing himself at the siege of Philippsburg in 1734 during the War of the Polish Succession, under James FitzJames, 1st Duke of Berwick."
