Hi Parker; > Earily censuses show a Jesse, John, and a James Temple-s families > arriving from the north(VA,Nc,TN,?) to SC and GA.areas. From all accounts > there appears to be family connections between SC and GA groups. In > 1805 GA started land lotteries and this attacted many. The latest > research is showing me a William C. Temple arriving in SC about > 1800-1810 in what we think might be the Saluda Co. area. None of this > is varified yet. The likelyhood that William and the other are related > is very good. > > As to the "s" pluralizing the name, we have fould it very commonly added > and substracted from generation to generation. Many of these earily > individuals couldn't spell! Even in my family line, it goes back and > forth all the time. Then add Temples's who marry Temple's! Just like > you, I believe the root name is Temple, but when they went south some > families adopted the "s".
