Pat: I have connections to the Templeton Family of Laurens County, SC as well. All I know of my connection , upon which I hang my hat (more or less), is that William Carter Templeton b. May 17, 1843, s/o James (b July 2, 1804) and Margaret Smith, married Cornelia E. Compton, b. 1842. All of this was in Laurens Cou., SC. Cornelia and William C. left SC for Asheville, NC sometime around 1879 with 7 daughters. (Yep, seven....bet ole' William C never saw the inside of a bathroom the rest of his life) ! Sorry, just kidding ! Cornelia Compton would be my GG Aunt, daughter of James and Nancy Poole Compton, also of Laurens County. I would really like to know more about Wm C. and his father James, back in SC. I would also like to know more about the seven daughters up in Asheville. I know where Wm C and wife Cornelia are buried in Asheville, but I can't get a clue reference their children. Looks like an entire line (Cornelia's) has died here for me. My ancestors (definitely including Cornelia and Wm C.) were members of the Langston Baptist Church, also known as the "Baptist Church of Christ of Upper Duncan Creek". I have seen other Templetons who I did not understand how to connect, mentioned in the minutes of this Church. (not nearly enough info here to begin to establish a lineage) . The Rocky Springs Presbyterian Church Cemetery has many Templetons buried there as well. All I am trying to tell you is to keep digging in the Laurens County info because you have a large family there and connections will be made if you persist. In the meanwhile, do you recognize any names I have thrown your way ? Any hints as to where I might turn next ? My thanks in advance... Charlie Charles S.
