He attended the common schools, and graduated from Williams College in 1833.[1] CareerAfter his graduation from Williams, he studied law with David Dudley Field in Albany, and then moved to Troy to become a clerk in the law office his brother, Rufus M. Townsend.[3] He was admitted to the bar the following year in 1836, and commenced practice as a partner with his brother,[1] later known as the firms of Townsends & Browne, when Irving Browne joined, then Townsends & Roche when W.J. Roche joined, Townsend & Roche upon the retirement of his brother, and Townsend, Roche & Nason.[3] He was District Attorney of Rensselaer County from 1842 to 1845.

He retired from legal practice in 1901.[1] Townsend was affectionately called the "Gladstone of Troy" after William Ewart Gladstone, the British Prime Minister.[11] He reportedly did not appreciate the nickname however due to Gladstone's support of the South during the U.S. Civil War.[4] Personal lifeIn 1836, Townsend was married to Louisa Bacon Kellogg (1812–1890),[5] a student at the Emma Willard School and the daughter of Oren Kellogg, Esq.[6] Together, they were the parents of a daughter:[7]
