Dear Gail, Good to hear from someone "down under." I note that your Templetons are from Scotland. My understanding is that Templeton started in Scotland, then went to Ireland, England, and other places due to persecution. Here's what I picked up about the name out on the web somewhere. Templeton is a Scottish place name from Templeton near Dundonald in the former county Ayreshire, now part of Strathclyde. It was so-named for Middle English "temple" (meaning house of the Knights Templar) and "toun" (meaning "settlement"). There are also places named Templeton in Wales and other locations, but they likely derived their names from someone with the surname, rather than the other way around. Pimbley's Dictionary of Heraldry notes the following on the name "Templar:" A member of the order called Templars, Knights Templar, Knights of the Temple, etc. It was founded in 1118 or 1119 by nine Christian knights, the original object of the organization being to maintain free passage for the pilgrims visiting the Holy Land. Baldwin II King of Jerusalem gave them part of his palace, and they kept their arms in the Temple, hence their name of Templars. -- Harold Templeton Hoffman Estates, IL cfp@iwc.net CT: Barnes, Geer, Horsford, Lamb, Merritt, Richardson.

Hi list! Well , we seem to be sluggish! either that or we've all found our ancestor's information! hehe<grinning>. I am searching for possible TEMPLETON ancestors living somewhere in ARKANSAS between 1929-1936. I know, I know, lot of land there to cover. All I know is that my ggreatgrandmother SARAH ANN TEMPLETON-HICKS along with my ggreatgrandfather had traveled there somwhere close to the Boston Mountains to visit someone. I'm presuming aunts or uncles or cousins. Her father was Thomas Jefferson Templeton , her mother Nancy Jane Shikles both born in Miller CO, MO. She had several brothers and sisters and I believe she went to visit someone there. I have been told that Sarah Ann was of Native American heritage, I was sent a photo of her as an elderly woman, and she definitely was not Irish or Scotch or Dutch or German. She looks 100% N.A.-which I know she cannot be as her father was supposedly of Irish descent. Help! any information is welcomed! thanks to all, Cheryl in TEXAS

Hello All, I noticed at the bottom of the Rootsweb Templeton list that it was available for adoptions. Well, we humans sometimes jump in where angels fear to tread. I decided to take the plunge. Isn't America wonderful? I am now the listowner and I didn't have to pay anything to become the owner, either! I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew. I've been collecting Templeton information for a couple of years now, and not just my own line. Glad to look through my data to see if I have anything that you'd be interested in. I also have the CD version of the American Genealogical-Biographical Index. If you'd like me to look up a Templeton, give me the name and, if possible, date of birth and location. If you want all the Templetons associated with a certain location, let me know. This is a pretty quiet list. Let's make it a goal to have at least one message per week. With 58 subscribers, that should be easy! For those of you subscribed over at the northwest.com list, I invite you to join the Rootsweb list.

Taking the plunge so to speak is not a bad thing, Harold. Congratulations! Our Templeton line is in Scotland, starting with William Templeton, born around 1800. Married in Dalserf in 1827 to Joan Forrest. They stayed in Dalserf through 1835, then went to Cambusthenan, then Hamilton through 1841. Do not know where they were at in the 1851 census or 1861 census. In June 1861 they were in Bothwell, Lanark when Joan died. Have not found where he died or where they are buried. We have quite a bit on the line coming forward, but nothing going back. Mary and Don in Wyoming our homepage - http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~sabthomp/

Good morning all, Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter this week provided a link to a site listing the officers in the Mexican War. James A. Templeton, my great grandfather's brother, served, but since he was not an officer, I did not expect to find him. However, two other Templetons did show up.

Hi all, Penny responded to a previous query about Sarah Ann Templeton. Thought someone might be interested in this information. My Great Grandmother was Sarah Ann Louise Usher Templeton. She married at age 16, year 1881, to a Davis Templeton. Until she remarried around 1890s, she went by Sarah Ann Templeton, Lula Templeton, and Louise Templeton. She was from Lancaster County, SC. I didn't get the original message. If this is the Sarah you need information on let me know and I will pull her records.

Dear Lynn, There's an Ezekiel Templeton in Texas in the 1890 Veteran's Schedules. CD #131 (sorry, but I don't have the CD - someone sent me the Templeton listing from it) has: Templeton, Ezekiel State : TX County : Collin Co. Location : Precinct 7 Microfilm Page : 1 Assuming this is the same Ezekiel, at least you've narrowed down when he left Tennessee a little. Additionally, this listing means he served in the Civil War.

Dear all, This has been a great discussion. I hope some of you have found some solid clues. Several have mentioned research in Scotland. Could you share with the rest of us how you did that research? Online or by mail? Was there a cost? Etc. Anyone have any good tips about research in Ireland? There is a Templeton family web site at MyFamily.com. I posted a list of many Templetons that came to America. That might be helpful to some. If you're not a member yet, drop me a line and I'll get you an invitation. There's no charge. Dan and Iva mentioned Pennsylvania. I was in contact with Linda Meussig a couple of years ago. She has Templetons in Pennsylvania, I believe in the north eastern part of the state. I can look up her address if you'd like. I also spoke to someone who had Templeton near Philadelphia. I think that was Ginny Kichline. Don't know anything about NC off the top of my head. You can contact Ginny through the MyFamily.com site. Presbyterian was also mentioned. My Templeton line in New Hampshire were also Presbyterian. If I'm not mistaken, there was a persecution of Presbyterians in Scotland, so they went to Ireland. Not sure on those facts, though. I would love to get everyone's lines into my computer. Perhaps each of us could upload a GEDCOM to the MyFamily.com site. I'm elated! I haven't seen this much traffic on the list since I subscribed. Anyone know who started the list? -- Harold Templeton Hoffman Estates, IL cfp@iwc.net CT: Barnes, Geer, Horsford, Lamb, Merritt, Richardson. KY: Shields. MA: Lamb, Merritt.
