Biographical History
Charles Townshend, 3rd Viscount Townshend, was the son of Charles Townshend, 2nd Viscount Townshend (1674-1738), English statesman, and grandson of Sir Horatio Townshend, Bart. (c. 1630-1687), a zealous supporter of Charles II, who was created Baron Townshend in 1661 and Viscount Townshend of Raynham in 1682. The old Norfolk family of Townshend, to which he belonged, is descended from Sir Roger Townshend (d. 1493) of Raynham, who acted as legal adviser to the Paston family, and was made a justice of the common pleas in 1484. His descendant, another Sir Roger Townshend (c. 1543-1590), had a son Sir John Townshend (1564-1603), a soldier, whose son, Sir Roger Townshend (1588-1637), was created a baronet in 1617.
