To All: Perhaps one of you can help resolve some confusion regarding Liston TEMPLE. I have three references - apparently at least two of them are to a father-son pair. If I can piece these folks together, it would be a great help. This is what I have at present: Individual Summary - 1 Mar 1998 ---------------------------------------- Name: Liston TEMPLE Sex: Male Father: Colonel Joseph TEMPLE (3 Feb 1666-abt 1740) Mother: Anne ARNOLD (1672-) Individual Facts Birth abt 1698 in "Presque Isle," King William, VA Death abt 1750 (age 52) Marriages/Children 1. Agnes ELLIOTT Marriage Children Captain Liston TEMPLE (-13 Oct 1804) Notes General3,4: Captain of King County Militia in the Revolution. Some data supplied by Gwen DuVall, a descendant. She cites a letter written by Mrs. Polly Williamson (daughter of Col. Benjamin Temple) to Dr. William Gwathmey of King and Queen County in 1831. Also, it is not clear that Captain Liston TEMPLE is indeed the son of Liston TEMPLE. The relationship cited here is based on timing and opportunity, not on actual documentation. Sources 1. Albert R.

In addition to these references, I have found a Liston TEMPLE married Harriet M. Robertson, 21 Mar 1815, in Davidson Co., TN. So - I have three Listons - anyone know how to sort out this mess? Any ideas are most welcome. Park -- L. Parker Temple Researching the branches of the TEMPLE family See my home page at http://www.erols.com/lptemple/house.htm
