The John Temple, son of Major is posing quite a dilema. May I ask what is the documentation of John Temple of Westmoreland Co, PA being the son of Major Temple and Mary Kennedy? The only way I can see us figuring this out is to compare sources. I have very little on John: 1. Will of Major Temple written in Aug. 1816 leaving part of his estate to the "heirs of son John". Surely, meaning that John is deceased as of this date? 2. Giles Co, TN court records showing a John Temple's will proven in June 1816 and orphan papers on several girls - orphans of John Temple. 3. Several Superior Court Minutes of Greene Co, TN Sept 1793-95 showing John Temple in Greene. 4. 1797 Tax list of Greene Co, TN. showing John Temple 5. 1812 Tax list of Greene Co, TN, " 5. Some odds and ends on Giles Co, Tn records that really don't prove anything; dated 1815. When is the John in Westmoreland showing up there? It could very well be that the John Temple in Giles is not Major's John. So, I am really curious to know the circumstances that support the Westmoreland John as being Major's son. >>> Name: John TEMPLE Sex: Male Father: Major TEMPLE (1736-1790) Mother: Mary KENNEDY (1739-1800) Individual Facts Birth 28 May 1758 in Westmoreland Co., PA Death 28 May 1828 (age 70) Marriages/Children 1.
