"Phineas Towner was born Derby, Connecticut in the year 1708, Apr 28; in1732 he was a land owner in Waterbury, and in 1737 moved with his wife,Eunice, to New Milford; when he was married or what was her surname,cannot be stated; from the record of a deed there it appears that he soldland in 1738; the deed stating that he had moved to Danbury. There helived till about 1763, in which year he was at Fredericksburg, PhillipsPatent, now Patterson, Putnam County New York. The record shows that hisuncle, Samuel, 5th son of Richard, was there with him, on leased land.This fixes his identy, but cannot be traced afterwards. The records ofDanbury were mostly destroyed when the British burned the town in 1776,which makes it difficult to get information of him or his family. Buttheses is little, if any, reason to doubt that he was father of Abrahamcalled "Abraham of Danbury," both being mentioned in the records whichremain, and no other Towners, except Eunice Towner who married 1772,William combs, and who was likely daughter of Phineas."
