As suggested, here is a reminder from our Templer Family website of our oldest Loudoun County, VA, family ties. The Templer family traces their roots to James Templer, b. about 1755 in Shelbourne Parish, Loudoun County, d. after 1846 in Virginia. James Templer married Martha Huff on 31 August 1775 in Loudoun County, Virginia. Martha Huff was b. about 1755 and d. after 1840. Nothing is known at this time about the parents of these two people. An old family history, published in 1894, includes the story that the family name was Temple and that the 'r' was added about 1750. A later writing in 1939 added the story that the 'r' was added because of a dispute in the family. Nonetheless, we would be interested in talking to anyone in a Temple or Templer family who has information that might make a connection to the parents of James Templer. We would also very much like to find death and burial information for James and Martha. James Templer and Martha Huff had 7 or 8 children depending on how you interpret various census data. Those were: · William Templer (b. 29 December 1775, d. 24 October 1854) · John J. (or Jonathon) Templer (abt 1777 or 1778) - may be two people · James Templer (abt 1779) · Esther Templer (abt 1780) · Martha Templer (abt 1781) · Stacey Templer (b. 1782, d. 29 October 1864) · Thomas Templer (b. 1787, d. after 1850) For additional information on the first six generations and other details, check our family website at: http://www.geocities.com/templerfamily Appreciate any pieces of information that will help in our search.
