Donna, I wondered if you could enlighten me on any Templeton information that you might have as I am at a standstill on my Templeton tree. TEMPLETON William Templeton: As of the 1790 census no William was found AS OF THE 1790 CENSUS James Templeton:1790(wash.co.)(1755-1801)(children)(Alexander, Thomas, James, David) Nathaniel Templeton:(Wash.Co.)(Donegal Twn)(1745-1782) (wife)(Isabella)(children)(Margaret, John, William) (Margaret married Sam McBride) John Templeton:1790(Wash.Co.)

Samuel Templeton Samuel Templeton Jr. AS OF 1830 CENSUS James Templeton(Could he be the son of James Sr.?) John Templeton(Could he be the son of Nathaniel?) John Templeton Jr. William Templeton(Could he be the son of Nathaniel?) Samuel Templeton Samuel Templeton Jr. Thomas Templeton Elizabeth Templeton (Great, Great Grandfather) Thomas Henry Templeton: (1834-1/1895)<wife> Nancy Skinner (1841-1905) Civil War veteran buried in Templeton Pa with his wife Nancy. Only Templeton Buried in Templeton. William Templeton was founder of modern day Templeton. It is believed that William had aquired the land for participation in the Revolutionary war (in lieu of payment), or a tract of land was given to him for settling the land. First settler was not a Templeton, but a African American. Don't know why the town was not named for him or the Indians that inhabited it. Other than Thomas was a Civil war veteran I know nothing about this man and his wife. Many Skinner's are buried in this Cemetery. I could use some information on these two. (Great Grandfather) William Templeton: (5/19/1872-5/20/1944) <wife>Phoebe Elizabeth Pepper (10/20/1873-1944) William was a Railroad Engineer, and a bit of a drinker. This would account for my Grandfather not drinking. My Great grandmother was a actress in Ford City Pa., and her brother was the imported from England to head the glass polishing production of America's first successful Plate Glass works. The Pepper's were treated royally in Ford City by owner John Ford. Both William and Phoebe were laid to rest at Homewood Cemetery in Squirrel Hill Pennsylvania. I believe that William was born in Templeton but I can't be sure. William and Phoebe had three sons and a daughter and moved to Glenwood and Hazelwood in Pittsburgh. Their house sits on Trowbridge Street in Hazelwood. I have photos of both available for those who would seek them. Children were Ralph, ?, Thomas and Grace. Looking for information on the three boys. (Grandfather) Thomas Henry Templeton: (2/ /1909-11/14/1995)<wife> Marian Grace Williamson (1/1915-9/10/97) Thomas was a Fireman for the City of Pittsburgh till 1970. My grandmother was a homemaker from Pittsburgh and was a Williamson <fraternal>(Dormont - Mount Lebanon) <maternal>and Kelleher (West End - Esplen). I believe that my grandfather was born in Glenwood however I am not sure. I believe that my grandmother was born in Dormont - Banksville. They ran away and were secretly married in West Virginia before Marion's prom and lived apart till they were married in a church ceremony in November. They lived in the Templeton house in Hazelwood till 1971 and then moved to Greentree on Warriors Road till 1995 when my Grandfather passed away. Both grandparents didn't drink because of their fathers alcohol habit. My grandmother then moved to Penn Hills where she passed away in 1997. I have photos for those seeking information on these two. They had two daughters.
