I got your transcript of the will today by so-called snail. It think its faster than e-mail by aol! I'm interested in the newsletter. Can't believe I haven't seen this before. Do you know if they ever had anything on the Templeton family in it? My James Brownlee married Shelby Co., IL 26 Jan 1851 Mary Templeton, the daughter of Robert Alexander Templeton. I have a copy of his will and know quite about this Robert Templeton except who his siblings and ancestors are. He was originally from Iredell, NC, lived in White Co., TN before coming to Shelby Co., IL. I've found a lot of Templeton info in Iredell but nothing to tie my Robert into those families. There is probably nothing in the newsletters but I grab straws at this point. Thanks for the will. Pat
