It would benefit me greatly to see all replies to the list, also. I am looking to see if my ancestor actually fits into TEMPLETON, TEMPLEN or TEMPLON. His name is Dudley TEMPLETON, and was even spelled TEMPLEN, TEMPELTON, and TEMPLON in the family bible. He was born Mar 11, 1817, possibly in Pennsylvania, Vermont or England. All of those locations were given by his children as his birth place in later documents. He died in 1863, in Altoona, PA, when his children were young. He married Esther SOULSBY, in Woodbury, Bedford Co., PA in 1838. This is the first location that I can place him. In all obituaries of Esther's family members, referring to Esther, they all give her married name as TEMPLETON. Therefore, I am trying to fit Dudley into the Templeton's. When his death was recorded in the family bible, his name was spelled TEMPLON. All descendants have taken the name TEMPLON. Judy Templon Alexander
