Hi all, I noticed Chanbeth's remarks about my home page entry during your Thurs. family reunion chat. Concerning the parents of Abraham of Salem, my source came from Edition #1 of "The Rise of the Temples" by Albert R. Temple and Danny D. Smith. There was never any proof that Abraham of Salem came from the Temples of Stowe England. Being a respected genealogist I do listen to what he has to say. Danny D. Smith's article "The Provenance of Abraham" appears on page 100 of the publication. It explains why he thinks Peter and Katherine Temple may be Abraham's parents. You can view the article on L. Parker Temple Home Page at http://www.erols.com/lptemple/house/htm. Regards Ralph Temple
