Hi Group, Here is my dead end. I am looking for the parents of two brothers James S. and John Thomas Temple. Their particulars are as follows: James S. Temple, born May 22, 1839, North Carolina. Died December 1894 in Hardin, Calhoun County, Illinois. John Thomas Temple, born June 2, 1842 in North Carolina or Lincoln County Missouri, died April 1916 in Hardin, Calhoun County Illinois. The story of these Temples comes primarily from an obituary which I have for John T. Temple. This obituary says he was born near Raleigh, North Carolina, but several censuses state he was born in Missouri. The obituary goes on to say "while but a small child he was brought, with one sister and two brothers to Lincoln county, Missouri. Shortly after their arival in Missouri, the mother and sister died and the younger brother drowned a little later. In 1848 his father left the subject of this sketch and his only remaining brother, James S. Temple, with the family of a Pennsylvania German .... Of his father nothing was ever heard from the time he left Missouri for the ovberland trip across the continent." The obit claims that their parents were named John T. and Jane Temple, I have been unable to substantiate this as far as placing people with these names in North Carolina. Sorry for the length of this message. I have information on spouses and descendants of these two if anybody is interested. Hopefully, Claire Edrich in Denver, Colorado

Hi Joanne, I would like to add one thing to your message about John Temple. World Family Tree Volumn 14 pedigree #1857 says a John Temple who was born in Scotland married Elizabeth Marshall in 1785. If this is correct we do have another John Temple because the father of John who married Jane Russell (Major) was born in PA. I am requesting the address of the author so I can reveal her source. Ralph

Hi Joanne and all, I for one would be in favor of starting with Abraham of Salem for our Temple of the month pick. I would also like to add some comments on the "TEMPLES" surname. Pam Blair contacted me back in May when I started my "Temples in the census" project. She asked me if I was including them in my project. I told her at the time that I was not. However since then I see that I may have to change my mind. Some of you have commented that these Temples seem to use either "TEMPLES" or "TEMPLE". I see it clearly in the census. Some are listed as TEMPLES in one census and back to TEMPLE ten years later.

Joanne, I love all of you late night writers. That means I get mail in the middle of the day over here in Malaysia, not just at the crack of dawn. Makes my afternoon! I think the monthly showcase of one Temple line is a great idea. And Abraham is a good place to start from my vantage point. I'm especially excited about Terry Ryan's additions on the Concord MA line. I hope that she will fill out the early siblings and children as she suggested in her message. Terry, I'm thinking specifically of Peter Temple, who may possibly come from the Richard line(brother of your Joseph b. 1694) son of Richard b. 1654? And then Peter and Lois Darby Temple's children. I also ran across a posting in March from Nancy Teachout Gardner, who has conflicting dates on Richard (1654 or 1674?).?? Joanne, would you please - once again- tell me how to subscribe to our Rootsweb. I have an interested lady in Ohio who should be a part of our list. Thanks again. I promise to file the instructions this time. Linda

Does anyone have any information on a William Temple from Ireland? William was married to Jeanette Elliott b. 1829 Ireland d. 1912 Illinois, daughter of Frank Elliott and Margaret Smiley. William and Jeanette had 10 children. Jeanette immigrated in 1892 along with some of the children. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Gayla Freeman, Oklahoma

Linda: I am pretty sure that there were nho TEMPLES in England. Not only are they unique to the colonies, they are unique to the South (in their earliest incarnations).

In a previous e-mail I indicated that I was looking for information on the family of Conrad TEMPLE. I have since had inquiries for more information. This would lead me to believe that my first message did not include enough information to be of help - so, with appologies, I will try again. Conrad TEMPLE was born on 1 Apr 1808 in Hagerstown, Washington County, Maryland and died on 1 May 1862 in Washington County, Iowa. He married Margaret RITCHEY on 16 August 1829. They had 10 children. Conrad TEMPLE's father may have also been named Conrad. There is a Conrad TEMPLE listed in the 1790 census of Washington County, Maryland. The census lists Conrad TEMPLE as head of household with 1 male over the age of 16, one female over the age of 16, and 1 male child under the age of 16 - which could be Conrad (Jr)'s brother. The birth, marriage and death dates for Conrad (Jr) are from the RITCHEY family bible, so they may not be totally accurate. There are also 2 articles about the TEMPLE's of Maryland in the "Maryland Geneological Bulletin". The first is of a George and Mary TEMPLE in the Spring 1986 issue. The second is of a William TEMPLE in the Winter 1992 issue. If anyone has access to these 2 articles, I would appreciate a lookup to see if they might have some bearing on my research. Thanks for your patience. Bill Hansen Ottumwa, IA

Ozzi Oz@peganet.com

Park: I too have had a heck of a time trying to figure which way these older lines go. As I said in my first posting, I haven't worked much on this line yet, so the sources I have personally confirmed are thin. I have proved out very little of this line at this point, and as I said, have put it together from the work of various other people. The principal sources of my information are: Some Temple Pedigrees by Levi D. Temple; a genealogy prepared for my great uncle by someone named Debrett (no other name given, no address) called The Ancestry of the Temple Family of Ohio, dated January 1982, and a chart which accompanies the narrative; Marriage Records of Clermont Co, Ohio and Clermont County Ohio Wills, Estates and Guardianships; the LDS Ancestral file (although not much relied upon by me); some on-line pals; for generations after RC Temple b. 1781, the family bible which is currently in the possession of a family member; and for the most recent generations just passed, various interviews with family members, SSDI and various records in Los Angeles County. The object of Debrett's research was "to trace the ancestry of the Reverend Ichabod Temple, Minister of the Lindale Baptist Church at Lindale, Ohio, which he founded in 1819." Debrett could find no links to England, which he spent much of the narratigve discussing, but research in Maine had "shown" that he had nine children born there with wife Mary (Clarke) and two deeds in Lincoln County ME "suggested" that Ichabod and brother Ebenezer were sons of Richard Temple and wife Elizabeth of Bowdoinham, ME. Unfortunately, I don't find a reference for those deeds; but there are referenced Lincoln Co. , ME Probate Records, Portland, 1895, p. 124. (Also see History of Bowdoinham, referenced below.) I know that Debrett thought the Levi book must have had some inaccuracies. As you look at the depth of Debrett's sources some of which I list below, you can see why I might have some degree of confidence in his work. Nevertheless, I haven't seen the records and every time I look at this I get confused. This from the ancestral file: Abraham Temple m. Abigail ....Richard Temple b. 1618/23 m. Joanna ........Abraham Temple b. June 4, 1652 m. Debroah Hadlocke ............Richard Temple b. Oct 6, 1674 m. Sarah Parling ................Joseph Temple Then I have this from Debrett: Abraham Temple m. Abigail ....Richard Temple b. 1623 m. Joanna ........Richard Temple b. Oct. 6, 1654 m. Sarah Parling ............Joseph Temple August 28, 1694 m. Abigail Stearns I'm not sure where I came up with Mary Laughton as a possible second wife, but I questioned this myself. Debrett did not list her as a second wife, but only named Elizabeth Gustin. (Likewise, I don't have strong feelings about Cassandra Edwards marrying my Rev. Ichabod, although it's clear she married somebody's Ichabod.) I am not familiar with the book written by Abert Temple and Danny Smith. I don't know what to say about your conjecture, except that from my point of view, it's interesting. My Richard Temple m. Elizabeth Gustin was a cordainer (someone who works with Cordoban leather -- a shoemaker, probably), according to Debrett's research. Where did you come up with a Dr. title? I will refer to Debrett's work for the marriage of Abigail and Joseph. Here are some of his sources for Joseph: Middlesex Co., Probate Records, Cambridge Mass #22326 establishes Joseph Brabrooke as guardian; Middlesex Co., Probate Records, Cambridge Mass #22288 has Joseph as administering the estate of his deceased son Ebenezer; Chelmsford Massachusetts Church Records records communions for Joseph and Abigail; Middlesex Co., Register of Deeds, Cambridge, Mass) Some of his sources for his son Richard Temple, b March 7, 1724/25 Concord MA ( and of Wexford, Acton, Falmouth ME and Bowdoinham, ME) m. Elizabeth Gustin are: Massachusetts State Archives, Boston, MA, for colonial and French & Indian war records; a source listed as Cus. Deed 4:380; York County Deeds, Alfred, Maine, 32:?; Middlesex County Probate Records cited above; Middlesex County Registry of Deeds, Cambridge, MA Deed 691:215, wherein Richard was deeded land from his parents; Cumberland Co. Registry of Deeds, Portland Maine 1:443 wherein Richard purchased land from his father in law's estate; Middlesex Co. Registry of Deeds, Cambridge MA Deed 691:210; History of Bowdoinham Maine by Silas Adams, Fairfield Publishing Co., Fairfield, ME, c. 1912, various pages cited. Other sources cited: Pioneers of Massachusetts, Charles H. Pope, ZGen. Pub. Co., 1969, p449; History of Salem, Mass., Sidney Perley, Salem, 1926, I:444, I:462, and II:199. I will definitely visit your website. Please tell me what you think of all of this, and if you look at these sources, tell me what you find. For myself, I would love to be able to document the path that these people took from Maine to Ohio to Illinois/Indiana? to Wichita to Arizona to Los Angeles. Thank you for your interest and for your help. I hope this is sueful to you and that you will get back to me with what you think or find. Terry Ryan

Terry (and everyone else - here's soem controversy for us all): Saw your postings to Joanne May. This is really exciting, since you may have a line that I have been unable to trace. I have a web page (below) that I try to document all the TEMPLE lines in America, and hopefully find the connections. This is a service to all TEMPLE and related lines - but it's only as good as the data I find or receive. Right now - we have nearly 150 lines - but intuitively, we know that many of these are related. We just haven't found the connection. Until now, at least. Your Reverend Ichabod Temple is one of our loose ends. My data says he was born in England, and emigrated to ME. Before Ichabod, I had no information. Your data indicates two things I have not been able to prove before - and would really appreciate understanding your sources. Hold on to your whatever, because this gets confusing. Let me explain. First - Ichabod's father as Richard (1724). I have Sarah Hambleton marrying Richard, son of Abraham of Concord (grandson of Abraham of Salem). But this Richard was b 1674, and had two other wives. This may be a confusion in your data (there were more Richards in Abraham of Salem's line than you want to know. And most of them were cousins living contemporaneously). You show the correct descent down to Richard # 3. It's there that I get lost, and would appreciate your clarification. We both show a son, Joseph from Richard 3. We agree on birth date. But we go awry with Abigail Stearns as wife. I can absolutely confirm Abigail Stears married a Joseph TEMPLE. So far so good. But all my data is very conflicting. One thing I am relatively certain of - the LDS Ancestral File incorrectly puts her together with another Joseph. I am pretty sure (based on timing) that she married Joseph TEMPLE, b. 28 Aug 1694, but he was son of Abraham & Deborah HADLOCKE TEMPLE, son of Richard (but your Richard # 2). This Abigail Stearns was b 8 Feb 1699 in Lexington, MA. So far so good. But this Joseph did not have a second wife. The Joseph TEMPLE who married Mary LAUGHTON was Joseph, b 28 Aug 1709 (!!!) and was son of Richard and Mary BARKER TEMPLE, son of Abraham and Deborah HADLOCKE TEMPLE. So it appears we have several wives of different Josephs - not an uncommon problem, by the way. Now - back to Joseph 4, b 1694. I have NO lineage from him - that's why your data is so exciting. I am sure you have the right Joseph to then have a Richard - that's how the Richards generally ran - alternating generations. Joseph 4's father was your Richard 3, same dates, so I think that's really solid. I have such conflicting data on Abigail, however, that your data may in fact be correct. How did you verify Abigail and Joseph? Now - perhaps I can help you with a conjecture. I believe the Richard # 5 did not marry Sarah Hambleton. Albert TEMPLE and Danny SMITH, in their Rise of the TEMPLEs, say she married Richard b 6 Oct 1674, son of Abraham and Deborah. HOWEVER - the Richard TEMPLE I show with the birth data of 7 Mar 1724 has no descent known. Here's what may have happened, and the possible source of the error. If Sarah Hambleton married Dr. Richard TEMPLE, b 1674 - he would have been 72 at the time (though he lived to be 82, so it's possible he did marry her). I think that Albert and Danny may have put three wives for Dr. Richard TEMPLE (1674) when in fact there ought to be only TWO. That would free up Sarah HAMBLETON to marry Richard # 5 at his age of 23, and that fits. Okay - enough conjecture - what do the sources say? I've laid out the convolutions that occur in the data available to me - but most of my data is secondary stuff like Albert and Danny's or Levi's books. If your data is correct - you have a great contribution to make to the conventional wisdom. So - let us know - I surely am looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance.

Pam: You pose an interesting question - about the TEMPLES springing up overnight. Actually, it wasn't overnight, but it was pretty quick. I have tracked the line a bit - since they are actually (near as I can tell) all TEMPLEs. The earlies I have found is Seaborn TEMPLES, son of William C. TEMPLE and Mary FRANKLIN. The TEMPLES name first appears in SC, but rather quickly dispersed west through MS and AL. By 1850, there were bunches of them throughout the South. My guess is that the change was originally phonetic, due to the dialects. Then it got instantiated in print, either by clerical error or something like it. Unfortunately, I don't have James TEMPLES, but I have found a great deal of luck in checking the names with or without the S (depending on which way you are trying to trace). Apparently, the families at the transition accepted either spelling - since I have found some records that change back and forth. There are a goodly number of folks trying to connect up TEMPLES, so maybe you will be able to connect. Good luck. Park _____________________________________ L.

Park, I think you are on to something with you theory on the Temple/Temples spelling variation. It could very well be dialectic. Have you run across any Temples in the England histories or could it be a quirk in the colonies? Linda

Hi gang, I haven't had much to say becuase there doesn't seem to be anyone else researching Temples that moved from PA to IL. Also I am researching all branches of my family and my husbands family so I go where the information takes me. My earliest documented Temple ancestor is William G. Temple of Westmoreland Co., PA. Jun 1828 in b. Westmoreland Co., PA d. 9 Oct. 1905 Randolph Co., IL m. unknown date? Mary Cashdollar of North Huntingdon, Westoreland Co., PA. William G. was the only child (to the best of our knowledge) of Robert Temple b. 30 Jun 1806 in WestmoreLand Co., PA d. 18 Nov 1885 in IL m. unknown date ? Rebecca Gregory b. unknown? d. unknown? Robert is said, by some, to be a son of John Temple, son of Major Temple of TN and NC. ?? Good hunting! Dorothy J. Schendel
