Hello cousins, I am a new subscriber to this list and am hoping that one of you can help me out. I am looking for the parents of James S. Temple and John Thomas Temple. They were In the Lincoln County Missouri census of 1850 and 1860. In 1865 James S. Temple married Julia Burns in Calhoun County, Illinois. James fought for the Union in the 32nd Missouri Infantry. John T. Temple married Elizabeth Burns on March 1, 1864, also in Calhoun County, Illinois. Both James and John T. are buried in Hardin City cemetery, Calhoun county Illinois. Census information indicates that James was born in NC, John was born in MO, and parents of both were born in NC. I cannot seem to find them listed with their father in 1850 MO census, my suspicion is that their father must have died before then. If anybody out there has a Temple family that migrated from NC to MO, I'd love to hear from you! Have quite a bit of information on descendants of James and John T that I'd love to share. Also I suspect they had two younger siblings named William and Jane. Hoping I can make a connection with one of you! LecClier Edrich
