Townsend Duryea (1823 – 13 December 1888) and his brother Sanford Duryea (22 February 1833 – 20 March 1903, see below) were American-born photographers who provided South Australians with invaluable images of life in the early colony. Their parents were Ann Bennett Duryea (1795–1882),[1] and Hewlett K. Duryea (1794–1887), a land agent, possibly a member of the family well known for starch manufacture in Glen Cove (often reported as "Glencoe"), Long Island, in New York City.

This reference while useful, contains several errors which have been repeated elsewhere: Alexander McDonald for Archibald, Glencoe for (probably) Glen Cove, Hewlet for Hewlett, and Granthaven for (possibly) Grand Haven.
