Glad to see this Temple mail list organized. Thanks Joanne! The following is an outline of our Temple lineage insofar as we have proof. Our concern is finding the ancestry of THOMAS TEMPLE (1772-1845) and his two wives, SARAH WRIGHT and JANE BRITTON. In addition, THOMAS' oldest son, JOSEPH b. 23 Feb. 1801, possibly in PA. We need proof of JOSEPH'S birthplace. THOMAS settled in Franklin Co. and Union Co. Ohio where he died, 1845. His oldest son JOSEPH was born 1801. JOSEPH married 1822 in Adams Co. Ohio and in 1840 he was in Union Co. where he died, 1856. 1. THOMAS TEMPLE, b. 20 Apr 1772 (where?), d. 9 Aug. 1845 Union Co.Ohio(from gravestone). m.
