Greetings to all. My family traces its lineage to one James TEMPLER and his wife, Martha HUFF. They lived in what is now Loudoun County, Virginia from abt 1755 until their deaths abt 1846. Not much is known about them. They were married in Shelbourne Parish, Loudoun County, Virginia on 31 August 1775. They had 8 children we believe. Names were William (b. 29 dec 1775), John J. (b. abt 1777), Jonathon (b. abt 1778), James (b. abt 1779), Esther (b. abt 1780), Martha (b. abt 1781), Stacey (b. abt 1782), and Thomas (b. abt 1787). To our knowledge, James and Martha never left Virginia although we have not yet located their burial sites. There is an old family story (you have heard that before haven't you!) that James added the "R" to his name and that his birth name was actually TEMPLE. We have located a file on World Family Tree, Volume 2, Pedigree #2978, that contains a TEMPLE family with a son, James, who has the above dates of birth information. This file contains no further information on James. Because of this old family story and the similarity in birth information we would like to make contact with the submitters of this information but have been unable to do so at this time. Anyone knowing the submitters of the above referenced file are asked to contact me to see if we can compare notes and tie these to family files together. James and Martha TEMPLER have spawned a rather large family tree of roughly 1000 known descendants at this time and we are stilling locating others. I have much to share with the right party. Thanks for you kind attention. Charles E. Templer chartemp@aol.com Refer to my family page on familytreemaker.com for further information.
