Carolyn thank you so much for the reply - here is what I am looking for: A cemetery or some type of death notices for: Zebadiah and his wife Lydia Bancroft Johnson - all I know is that they died in TEMPLE, Hillsborough Co. NH - after 1777 Zebadiah and Lydia had a son Nathaniel Johnson who died in 1828 also inTemple, Hillsborough Co., so I am hoping that there is a cemetery somewhere in Temple where most of the family are buried. Samuel, son of Z & L never shows up with his wife Polly Wheeler or their son Joel who died in Wayne County Iowa,. I have a note that says Samuel died after 1824 and about 1859 so maybe he is also in Temple still . This Samuel has been a very perplexing problem - so any help would be most appreciated. Thanks again.
