Appears without the terminal S in NC birth records, but with it in 1910.

I believe his middle name comes from a neighbor of his family's. One Atlas Smith lived near them, and is either named for the same person (a third party named Atlas) or something else was going on there. Parents: Josiah (Joe) TEMPLE-16958 and Mary S. NALL-16971.

William Augustus (William) TEMPLE^{8784,62287,103421} was born on 30 January 1825 in AL.^{16882,16883,62288} Some secondary sources give KY, for reasons unknown. Cemetery records give 3 Jan. Some secondary sources suggest he was born in Smith Co., TN. In September 1850 he was a farmer in Cass (Van Buren) Co., MO.⁶²²⁸⁹ In September 1860 he was a farmer in Pleasant Hill, Cass, MO.⁶²²⁹⁰ His brother Albert was staying with him. William died on 27 December 1862 at the age of 37 in Pleasant Hill, Cass, MO.^16882,62288 Buried in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Cass Co., MO. He has reference number RLT # U3074.¹⁰⁶⁰ Research by Pat Dowdey, <dwd139@verizon.net> noted his name appears variously as Augustine or Gastain. He gave Gastain in his marriage license application. His father's estate papers make his middle name Augustine, but he also appears with Augustus.

Although undocumented, he may have had a wife before Sarah Oldham. The problem is the dates given in different sources for his son John Washington's birth year. All sources, from census to death records and secondary genealogies give a date before William married Sarah. The problem concluding that, though, is William's age - since he was apparently only 19 when he married Sarah. Had his son John been born as early as the 1838 or 1839 cited in the records, William would have been only 13 or 14. While undeniably biologically possible, it is extremely unlikely. Parents: James TEMPLE-36692 and Nancy -57342.

Spouse: Sarah Ann (Sarah) OLDHAM-23852. Sarah Ann (Sarah) OLDHAM and William Augustus (William) TEMPLE were married on 6 June 1844 in Cass (Van Buren) Co., MO.^{1173,16882,62287,62292,62293} His name shows up in Cass Co., marriage records as William Gastian, and the marriage date was 6 Jun 1844. Some sources report it as 19 Jun, but that date is after the minister's return, which he certified on 17 Jun. The 19 Jun date may be when it was finally recorded. The date discrepancy is unexplained.
