Am looking for information on Andrew Templeton living in Beekmantown, Clinton, NY in 1820. Born about 1788 NY, married to Lucy Phelps. Son Castle Noble Templeton. I think he died in Ellenburgh, Clinton, NY., after 1860. He was in the War of 1812. Am looking for the names of his parents. Donna

Dan & Iva Holder, As seen below in your message, you have STEELE as another surname; presumably a connection to your TEMPLETONs in some way. STEELE is not the most common surname in the world and you may have noticed that 'my' TEMPLETONs have used it as a middle name. This has been the case for several of the family. There are Hester Steele TEMPLETON, Matthew Steele TEMPLETON (3 of) and Daniel Steele TEMPLETON. The earliest was a Matthew Steele TEMPLETON being born about 1766 to William TEMPLETON, so there was probably a ? STEELE married to a TEMPLETON some time before this date. Perhaps you have the source of this name STEELE. Are you able to give more information about the STEELE and TEMPLETON connection? The above William was married to a Margaret. Was she Margaret Steele? She would have been born 1730-40. As for the religious affiliations of 'my' branch, since they lived in Belfast and nearby places in Ulster, it is very probable that they were protestant. This may be linked to Scottish protestants.

Hi, Just thought I'd throw in that my Templeton's were said to have been from Scotland, Ireland and then in PA around 1700's before moving southward to NC. They were among the first settlers of the western part of the state...John, James, David, George, Samuel, etc. were among many of the first names. I can trace them back to 1748 in NC but find nothing in PA except for references to them in a book called Carolina Cradle by Ramsey. I have hired researchers in PA to do research on ANY Templeton surname and have a little on the group there. My Templeton's were Presbyterian...Other surnames among my group were Steele, Gracey, Blackwelder, McLean, Gray.

Dear Gerald, It appears that I have unintentionally misled you. My Templetons came from Scotland to Ireland and then to America. I have not been able to trace any further back than Adam and his sister Janet (Jennet). They supposedly were from Ballywilly, although we have not been able to find a town by that name. Other references to their location in Ireland include Ulster Province and the Parish of Bellawville. Here is some information I found on the name someplace or other: 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. It is interesting that so many of the names are duplicated in your line and mine. I find John to be the most common name among Templetons, followed by Samuel and William. Daniel, however, seems to be very uncommon. That one may be the one that leads us to a link. There is another Adam that shows up in New Hampshire in 1810 and then disappears again. I have not been able to connect him to my line. Another Adam married Jane (unknown last name) in Ballymoney, County Antrim, Northern Ireland in 1837. A third Adam that I know about was married to a Barabee, probably in Maine in the late 1700's. Well enough rattling on. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you in your research. -- Harold Templeton Hoffman Estates, IL cfp@iwc.net CT: Barnes, Geer, Horsford, Lamb, Merritt, Richardson. KY: Shields.

I am probably going to confuse this discussion even more but I am very interested in it because I believe that Adam is connected to my Mary Ann Templeton in some way. She was born in the Ballymoney area, although one reference I found said Carnmoney. Mary Ann was born abt. 1717/1720 in County Antrim and married a Samuel Nichols. Her children are Thomas, Daniel, Adam, and John. Popular names probably but considering your e-mails I thought noteworthy. I know the family came to America between the births of two children so that puts it around 1750 give or take a couple of years. Her children ended up as landowners in Antrim, NH early in their lives(dispersing to Francestown, and NY and KY later) and I know that her husband Samuel Nichols joined the boys there. However there is no mention in records of Mary Ann or what happened to her. I had wondered if Mary Ann could have been another sister of Adam but that's purely speculation on my part. I haven't been able to get back any further on the Templeton or Nichols side. I did find a reference at LDS' Family Search of a Mary Templeton, born January 20, 1717 in Carnmoney, Antrim, Ireland daughter of a William Templeton but there wasn't any more information on either one and I haven't really followed up on it any further. There was information on two Williams at the same source: William Templeton: Christened: Dec. 20, 1719 Killyleagh, Down Ireland Father: John Templeton Mother: Elizabeth Lithgo William Templeton: Married Mary Bowland Nov. 23, 1716 at St. Peter & St. Kevin, Dublin, Dublin Ireland The irony of this is that I really have found no proof that Mary Ann Templeton was the wife of Samuel Nichols or the mother of the boys. I was given the connection by two other researchers and the continuation of the line matched my information given by a family member 15 years ago. I'm still looking for that proof. Just thought I'd throw all that out. Sincerely, Gwen Brooks Atlanta, GA.

Harold, I notice from your message that you say your TEMPLETONs went from Ireland to Scotland. That I find interesting because I had assumed that the Irish TEMPLETONs were originally a Scottish family - not that it excludes movement the other way from time to time. My own TEMPLETON ancestors lived in Belfast, Ireland, and although I have names, I have little knowledge of what they did there. What I do know in some detail is that a branch went to India circa 1780. There is a strong possibility that your Irish TEMPLETONs are the same as mine, if names give a clue. It was Daniel TEMPLETON who went to India as a soldier and raised a family there. Matthew and John are also family names. My earliest TEMPLETON in Ireland is William born about 1730's amd he married a Margaret. Daniel, William and Matthew Steele were three of their children. I have no knowledge of an Adam TEMPLETON but my records do not go that far back. Please let me know if any of this relates to your family. And I would really like to discover when my TEMPLETONs left Scotland (assuming that is their origins).

Dear Catherine, I wish I could say some of your names match mine. The best I can do is say that William and James shows up in my line, as do several of the other names. Adam Templeton was born 1711 or maybe 1712 in Ireland, but I believe his family came from Scotland. His sons were Mathew, James, John, and Daniel. Adam had a sister, Janet. Her grave stone says, "Jennet." Adam settled in New Hampshire, having arrived about 1735. -- Harold Templeton Hoffman Estates, IL cfp@iwc.net CT: Barnes, Geer, Horsford, Lamb, Merritt, Richardson.

I have another David Templeton. He was born in North Carolina on 9/14/1797 - died 9/14/1874 in Indiana- do not know parents. His wife was Ellendor/Elandor Clanton (of the "Clanton" Gang") They were married 1/14/1820. Their son, John Wilburn Templeton was born 1823 in North Carolina and died 2/19/1855 in Fairmount, Indiana. He was married to Hannah Stretch. After his death, Hannah married her deceased sister's (Sarah) husband, Dr. Dan Stafford. Hannah and John had one daughter I know of, Elma Ann Templeton, who married my great grandfather, John S. D. Harrison.

Dear Sandy, I have David Templeton b. ca 1714 d. between 1799 and 1802 in NC Children were: Archibald, James, Samuel, David Jr. and Jane.

Dear Sandy, I have three Davids in my database. Unfortunately, it does not look like any of them match. David Templeton was listed on the Veterans' Schedules in 1890. He was located in Enterprise Township, Valley County, Nebraska. David James Templeton was born 01 Mar 1855, probably in Pennsylvania. David Y. Jones Templeton was born 03 May 1856. His parents are the same as David James Templeton. There are two Templeton families in North Carolina in my database: Ann Templeton died in North Carolina. She was born 17 Nov 1733 in Ireland and died 19 Feb 1794 in Iredell County, NC. Her father was Samuel Templeton, born about 1710. This information came from RootsWeb World Connect Project. John Templeton Jr. was born in NC. His wife was Sophia Wilson. They had four children, Margaret J. (b 1819), Thomas W. (b 1821), Ellen J. (b 1823) and Elizabeth Ann (b 1826).

Dear Cheryl, I have six Sarah Templetons in my database, but none of them were in Missouri. Do you have any further information on her parents or grandparents? -- Harold Templeton Hoffman Estates, IL cfp@iwc.net CT: Barnes, Geer, Horsford, Lamb, Merritt, Richardson. KY: Shields.

received this from another list thought others might enjoy it. LIFE IN THE 1500'S (Reportedly from the Medieval Genealogy Network) Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and were still smelling pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Baths equaled a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men. Then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By that time the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water." Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw, piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the pets-dogs, cats and other small animals, mice, rats, bugs-lived in the roof. When it rained, it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying, "It's raining cats and dogs." There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could really mess up your nice clean bed. So, they found if they made beds with big posts and hung a sheet over the top, it addressed that problem. Hence those beautiful big four-poster beds with canopies. The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt, hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors which would get slippery in the winter when wet. So they spread thresh on the floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they kept adding more thresh until when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed at the entry way, hence a "thresh hold". They cooked in the kitchen in a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They mostly ate vegetables and didn't get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes the stew had food in it that had been in there for a month. Hence the rhyme: "peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old." Sometimes they could obtain pork and would feel really special when that happened. When company came over, they would bring out some bacon and hang it to show it off. It was a sign of wealth and that a man "could really bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat." Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with a high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food. This happened most often with tomatoes, so they stopped eating tomatoes... for 400 years. Most people didn't have pewter plates, but had trenchers-a piece of wood with the middle scooped out like a bowl. Trenchers were never washed and a lot of times worms got into the wood. After eating off wormy trenchers, they would get "trench mouth." Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the "upper crust". Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. The combination would sometimes knock them out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake". England is old and small and they started running out of places to bury people. So, they would dig up coffins and would take their bones to a house and re-use the grave. In reopening these coffins, one out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they thought they would tie a string on their wrist and lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night to listen for the bell. Hence on the "graveyard shift" they would know that someone was "saved by the bell" or he was a "dead ringer".

I have neither seen nor heard about a tartan for Templeton. Have seen three different coats of arms, though. Here's an explanation of where Templeton came from. I retrieved these from two different web sites. 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.
