Myles Presn. 11 Aug 1721 ---- These are interesting because apparently Temple was not a common name in NE at that time and the one is Presbyterian. His settlers may also been married in Boston, in what became NH or VT, in the northern counties of Mass, in Worcester. They probably itinerated through Worcester or Hopkinton or the western towns that were largely Scotch Irish towns in the 1740s and later. These people moved about a lot, often seeking a place devoid of English. If they settled into an English town, they were required to worship at the town church meeting. If they formed their own town, ditto -- but if everyone was also SI, then they could hire in a churchman who was more of their own liking. So after brief stays and fights they tended to move west. Hence its useful to look for them in large repositories of town records. You can 'pick up' brief stays by the baptisms of children they had along the way as well as the warnings out, etc, that occured when they conflicted with the local English. The NEHGS has a lot of NE town records on line. VERY useful. Linda Merle ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMail system at mail.fea.net
