For those of you who are descendants of Richard Temple b. abt 1623 there is a lot of genealogy research you can do in Concord MA. His house still stand at 222 Barrett's Mill Road. There is a book available entitled "Old Houses of Concord" by Mary R. Fenn that features his house. The Concord public library also has a lot of history of the house and of Richard Temple and his mill at Spencer Creek. The house is also shown in Ruth Wheeler's "Concord: Climate for Freedom" This is an outstanding book for us Temples because it has illustrations, maps and several mentions of the Temple name. The Hill Burying Ground that is near Concord Center is where many of our Temples are buried, including Abraham and his wife Deborah Hadlock, Dr. Richard Temple, Benjamin and his wife Abigail, Peter Temple's wife Lois and many of her children. There are also others and the stones are all in real good condition. The Concord museum has a painting by Amos Doolittle on the wall. He was famous for painting a series of revolutionary war scenes. The one in the museum is of British troops in Concord Center on April 19, 1775. The scene is viewed from the top of the Hill Burying ground, the very cemetery that Abraham and his wife Deborah, and Dr. Richard Temple are buried. In fact if the artist used the exact stone arrangement, their stones should all be shown. They had already died before this date. My ancestor Stephen and other Temples were present in Concord on this day as a soldier of the American Revolution. One other book which is a great resource is "Concord in the Colonial Period being a History of the town of Concord, Massachusetts. 1635-1689" by Charles H. Walcott. 1884 Ralph
