Park, Thanks for the TEMPLE/BRITTON marriage note. I guess it's well documented that families followed each other into the new territories, so the information of William BRITTON and Margaret TEMPLE was interesting, mainly because of the dates. The date you have of their marriage in Franklin Co. Ohio is 25 Dec. 1828. THOMAS TEMPLE with JANE BRITTON TEMPLE and their several children purchased land in Franklin Co. Ohio in July of 1829. We, of course, don't know where they lived previously to that. A new trail to follow! Linda
