I came across Lowell Temple b. 1792 in Westborough MA which has been a puzzle to me for a long time. He is listed in the census' of 1840, 1850, 1860 and 1870. His mother is Persis Wood but the vital records of Westborough MA only lists his mother. Does anyone know what this means. Any ideas who his father was? Descendants of Persis Wood Generation No. 1 1.
