William Townshend (c. 1745 - December 5, 1816) was a British politician and office holder, operating mainly in the colony of Prince Edward Island. One of his duties was Acting colonial Governor of Prince Edward Island between August 5, 1812 and July 24, 1813. ==Early and Private Life== Townshend's birthplace is unknown. His father was Richard Townshend of Wrexham (presumably Wrexham in Wales, though other evidence suggests a place in England, possibly Wexham, Buckinghamshire). He married Flora Stewart (b.1767 d.1843), the daughter of Chief Justice Peter Stewart, in c. 1790, and together they had eight children: * Cecil Wray Townshend (1791 – 1870) * Lt. William James Townshend (1796 – 1833) * Peter Stewart Townshend (1798 – 1860s) * John Dalton Townshend (1800 – abt.1873) * Ester Wray Townshend (1802 – ????) * Charles James Townshend (1804 – abt.1833) * Helen Diana Townshend (???? – ????) * Canon Rev.
