Simon Peter (Slabacon) TEMPLE(S)18870,60660 was born on 3 July 1857 in Franklin Co., MS.24893,35198,35199,35200,101544,126406 Gave his age as 60 in 1910. He appeared in the census in June 1860 in Liberty, Amite, MS.101544 He appeared in the census in June 1870 in Meadville, Franklin, MS.126406 Simon lived in Mc Comb, Pike, MS after 1873.18870 In June 1880 he was a farmer in Meadville, Franklin, MS.24893 In June 1900 he was a farmer in Pike Co., MS.35198 In April 1910 Simon was a farmer in Liberty, Amite, MS.35199 In January 1920 he was a farm laborer in Pike Co., MS.58379 Enumerated living with his son Harvey. He died on 19 June 1930 at the age of 72 in Magnolia, Pike, MS.18870 Buried in Mixon Cemetery, Magnolia, MS. Surname appears with the terminal S in 1900.

Nickname derived from an episode when he stole a slab of bacon from Ellis Pittman's wagon and got caught.

William Temple's aunt and cousin, Leona Temple Day, told him that Simon Peter, William's grandfather, would always make the grandchildren read to him from the Bible, and quickly correct them if they made a mistake or mispronounced something. He always read from the Bible and made those around him do so.

Mrs. Louise Temple (wife of Harvey F. Temple) told William Temple of his grandparents, "Simon Peter would make his wife Malissa put her hand prints in each of the two pones of cornbread she had to make every day because of the 8 kids. She had to put her left hand in one and her right in the other."

Temple Family lists a Harvey Levi Temple as son of Simon P. The entry is confused with the Harvey Levy, son of Alfred Pemmy Temple, p. 264. They have different dates, but the same wife. The lack of clarity of the dates, and the apparent overlap with another child, led to all information about Harvey Levi being associated with Simon P. Temple's son.

Sylvester TEMPLE(S)8604,130060 was born in September 1837 in Clermont Co., OH.21751,31829,35616,130061 He appeared in the census in November 1850 in Union Twp., Clermont, OH.35616 In June 1860 he was a laborer in Anderson, Hamilton, OH.31829 Sylvester served in the military between 1862 and 1865.130060,130061 He enlisted 27 Aug 1862 in Cincinnati, OH, as a teamster in Company B, 7th OH Cavalry, serving to the end of the war when he was discharged 1 Jul 1865 in Nashville, TN.

SEVENTH OHIO CAVALRY.
Sylvester Temple was a teamster with this unit.

This was organized somewhat peculiarly. Under the gloom induced by Buell's retreat, in the summer of 1862, and the movement into Kentucky of Kirby Smith and Heath, Governor Tod, August 25th, ordered the Seventh cavalry, or "River Regiment," to be recruited--one hundred men in each of the counties of Meigs, Washington, Athens, Gallia, Scioto, Adams, Clermont, and Brown, and three hundred in Hamilton county. Within six days sixteen hundred men were enrolled. It rendezvoused at Ripley, and when the enemy's cavalry appeared at Augusta, Kentucky, a few miles below, company E, of the Seventh, procuring some muskets and other small arms, crossed and drove them out, with considerable loss to the invaders, but none to the bold assailants. After Bragg's retreat began, four companies were sent on a scout from Maysville into eastern, Kentucky, and west to Falmouth. November 22d, the First battalion was sent to the field, and joined General Granger's force at Lexington, whence companies A, B, C, and D marched for the first raid into east Tennessee, upon which a rebel regiment guarding a long railway bridge at Zollicoffer's Station was captured without firms a gun, and another force, six miles distant, was taken after a spirited though brief action. Two fine railroad bridges were burned, and much other property destroyed. December 20th the Second battalion entered the field, with General Granger, as also, eleven days later, the Third. February 22, 1863, the entire regiment marched to Richmond, Kentucky, to repel a reported invasion. The latter part of March it joined in a vigorous pursuit of Pegram's cavalry, and engaged it heavily at Dutton hill, on the thirty-first, when a sabre charge by five companies of the Seventh decided the day. May ist it was in another attack upon Pegram, at Monticello, and helped to rout him handsomely. June 9th, at the same place, it again, with other cavalry, attacked and drove out the same pestilent invader. Upon its retirement it was in turn attacked by Pegram, and fought successfully the desperate action at Rocky Gap, for which General Burnside complimented the regiment in orders. June 10th one hundred picked men of the command joined another expedition to destroy the east Tennessee railroads, where immense mischief was done the rebels. In July it engaged in the pursuit of Morgan across Ohio, traversing Hamilton county in its march, via Harrison, Springdale, Glendale, and Manville; and was the first to attack the bold raider in his last stand at Buffington. Colonels Basil Duke and Smith, with their staffs and an escort, surrendered to Colonel Garrard, of the Seventh. September 3d the-regiment entered Knoxville, and assisted in the capture of Cumberland Gap, with its garrison, on the ninth. It marched thence to Carter's Station, and defeated a large force there. It then held a strong post in the mountains east of Knoxville till October tenth, when it took part in the battle of Blue Springs, losing Captain Hyley, of company K, while heading a charge. One of the forts at Knoxville was subsequently named from him. At Bristol, on the Tennessee and Virginia line, an immense amount of supplies and railway property was destroyed by it. At Rogersville, November 6th, it, with a Tennessee regiment and a battery, was fiercely attacked and overpowered by nearly four times the number of the Union force, losing one hundred and twelve men and some of its best officers. Colonel Garrard was in command, and a court of inquiry not only exonerated him from blame, but praised his conduct in the affair. During the siege of Knoxville, the Seventh defended Cumberland Gap, and December 5th joined in pursuit of the retreating enemy, having seven days and nights of almost incessant skirmishing and close fighting. On the twenty-third it drove a force from New Market, and on Christmas, after a long day's hard fight, cut its way out of a largely superior force at Dandridge. For some time in January, 1864, it picketed the fords of the French Broad above that place. On the twenty-seventh it aided in the defeat of two divisions of Wheeler's cavalry at Fair Garden. In May the regiment reached central Kentucky, by rail for east Tennessee, to repel Morgan, and on the twelfth participated in the successful attack upon him at Cynthian, The Seventh alone captured about five hundred prisoners in this fight, but lost some valuable officers and men. Colonel Garrard's brigade, including the Seventh, pursued Morgan vigorously to the mountains of eastern Kentucky. July 4th the regiment started for Atlanta, arriving on the twenty-sixth, and taking active part in the operations that led to the fall of the "Gate City." It encamped at Decatur till October 4th, and then engaged for a month in scouting and foraging for the Atlanta garrison. It was in the pursuit of Hood, and held the left of the Union line tenaciously at the battle of Franklin November 30th. It participated in the battle of Nashville and the subsequent pursuit; spent the winter at Gravelly Springs; aided to destroy rebel railways and iron works the next spring; engaged and defeated Forrest at Plantersville April 1st; and after Lee's surrender scouted northern Georgia to intercept Jefferson Davis. After his capture the Seventh was ordered to Nashville, where it was mustered out on Independence day, 1865. It had numbered, including recruits, one thousand four hundred members, of whom five hundred and sixty were lost by the casualties of war, including a number of its best officers.
