sometimes the terminology "town", in those days, was NOT what we think of today as "towns". A "town" (or village, etc...) could often times mean nothing more than a collection of a few neighbor's homes, within a few mile radius. Or nothing but a cross-roads where 2 or 3 structures existed (ie.: someone "threw out their shingle" so that the passing stage could stop and throw off the mail).
