James D. TEMPLE(S)³³⁰³⁴ was born on 24 October 1833 in TN.^{14394,33039,129732,129733} He appeared in the census in September 1850 in Hamilton Co., TN.¹²⁹⁷³² Enumerated with the William and Tennessee Lewis family, of no known relationship. However, I think they are his maternal grandparents. In June 1870 he was a retail grocer in Spring Place, Murray, GA.³³⁰³⁹ In June 1880 James was a hotel keeper in Spring Place, Murray, GA.¹⁴³⁹⁴ He died on 30 November 1896 at the age of 63 in Chatsworth, Murray, GA.¹²⁹⁷³³ Buried in Spring Place Cemetery, Chatsworth, GA. He has reference number RLT # (None).⁴⁵⁰⁴ He is not James Dobson Temple, despite similar places, given the difference in wives and ages. His parents were from NC (father) and VA (mother). Appears with the terminal S in 1870 but not in 1850. He was apparently not enumerated in 1860.

He may be related to Daniel and Margaret Temple(s), also of Hamilton Co., TN, and enumerated nearby in 1850, and may be their son. In Hamilton Co., TN in 1850, another set of Temples was enumerated - the family of Charles and Mahala Temples; Daniel and Mahala were Charles' parents. Charles and Mahala had a daughter named Amanda, born about the same time as James' daughter. More importantly, James was enumerated in 1850 in the household of William and Tennessee Lewis. Daniel and Margaret had two children, named William and Tennessee. I think that points to Margaret as being a Lewis, or Tennessee was a temple and related closely to Daniel.. However, this needs to be researched and proven. William and Tennessee's ages were such that Tennessee could be a younger sister of Daniel, or William a younger brother of Margaret.

Victoria Jacquilina (Sister Vic) HEARTSILL and James Dobson (Dobson) TEMPLE(S) were married on 8 September 1856 in Louisville, Blount, TN.^42054,42059 Records disagree. The original marriage register gives 8 Sep, but a typed transcription makes it 18 Sep, which is a mistake. They^{^42054,42059} were divorced before January 1862. The divorce has not been proved, but since his first wife died some 6 years later, something along those lines must have happened. Children were: Isaac Taylor (Taylor) TEMPLE-24503, Isadora M.

James Franklin TEMPLE(S) was born on 1 May 1886 in GA.^{18423,18424,18425,89495} Cemetery records put the date in 1890. In June 1900 he was a farmer in Jakin, Early, GA.⁸⁹⁴⁹⁵ In April 1910 he was a farm laborer in Douglas Crossroads Twp., Henry, AL.¹⁸⁴²⁴ In 1918 James was a farmer in Jakin, Early, GA.¹⁸⁴²⁵ In January 1920 he was a farmer in Early Co., GA.¹⁸⁴²³ He died on 14 April 1920 at the age of 33 in Cedar Springs, Early, GA.¹²⁹⁷³⁹ Buried in Cedar Springs Cemetery, Cedar Springs, GA. His parents were both from GA. Given with the terminal S in his WWI draft registration. He apparently had two wives - Velma, who was the mother of the children through 1918, and Alabama who was his second wife. The rationale is that Alabama shows up in the 1920 census but James claimed his wife's name was Velma in his 1918 WWI draft registration. Parents: Richard Woodson (Woodson) TEMPLES-72482 and Edith Franklin (Fannie) VANN-72488.

In April 1910 he was a farmer in Palestine, Bradley, AR.⁴⁷⁶⁴⁴ In 1918 he was a farmer in Ingalls, Bradley, AR.⁴⁷⁷³⁰ In March 1920 James was a farmer in Eagle Twp., Pulaski, AR.⁴⁷⁷²⁸ In April 1930 he was a farmer in Eagle Twp., Pulaski, AR.³⁷⁶¹¹ In April 1940 he was a farmer in Eagle Twp., Pulaski, AR.³⁷⁶¹³ James lived in Ingalls, Bradley, AR in 1945.⁸⁵⁰⁷¹ He died on 25 December 1969 at the age of 84 in Bradley Co., AR.¹⁰⁸⁹⁶ Buried in Union Hill Cemetery, near Warren, Bradley, AR. Some secondary sources list his name as John Frederick Temple, but he gave himself as James Fred Temples in his WWI draft registration. The person in the draft registration was born on the same date, and had a wife named Mary Lizzie Temples, and they lived in Ingalls, AR. I am unsure how the confusion arose over his first name, but he called himself James Fred, quite clearly. Parents: William T. (Billy) TEMPLE-20874 and Dora G. (Dora) MC CLAIN-20879.

Spouse: Mary Elizabeth (Lizzie) JOHNSON-26169. Mary Elizabeth (Lizzie) JOHNSON and James Frederick (Fred) TEMPLE(S) were married on 16 December 1906 in Bradley Co., AR.^{5830,47644,47731,47732} They^{^{5830,47644,47731,47732}} were divorced before 1915. The divorce is assumed, since Fred's other marriage was given as 1915, and Mary was enumerated alone in 1920.

In 1880, however, he gave 1837. He also wavered between claiming TN and KY as his birthplace. Find-A-Grave, without proof, made the date 20 Sep 1853. In 1900, he claimed Jun 1846.

Information from Suzette Martin, granddaughter of Laura Lucille Temple, indicates that James Monroe Temple married three sisters, from the eldest, to the next eldest, to Savannah Smith. This may indeed be so. However, in 1884, a James M. Temple (and there was only one in AL) married Julia A. Pate in Rockford, Coosa, AL. I am pretty sure, he must be the same person. As to the three sisters, born in AL, there was such a family enumerated in 1870 in Scott Co., MS. They were M.C. Smith, b 1855 AL, T. Smith, b 1856 AL, L. Smith, b 1859 AL, and Savanah Smith, b 1863 AL. This isn't confirmation of the story of the three sisters, but at least there was such a family. Parents: William TEMPLE-74947 and Martha -74948.

In her information provided for his death certificate, his wife said his parents were A.F. ad Eva (Ferguson) Temples, both from MS.

His family had apparently moved by 1870, since he and his family were not among the Temples in Jackson, MS, in the 1870 census. There was a J.H. Temple in Attala Co., MS, in 1870, whose birth date was 1867, and his parents were A.F. and Mary A. Temple, but this was apparently James Harbert Temple, son of Anderson Flowers Temple. Parents: A.F.

Identification of Jesse T. Temple(s)' unknown wife as Bettie May Mc Murray is based on circumstantial evidence in the 1940 census.
