They may be two separate people, because his wife in 1870 was clearly Martha. Moreover, the children of his brother James seem to indicate that his brother was also enumerated as John at some point.

In 1870, his wife was Martha, but his children do not line up for him as well as they do for his brother James. Much work needs to be done to clarify the families of John and his brother James.

Spouse: Kelly Taleta (Taleta/Callie) PURSER-138143. Kelly Taleta (Taleta/Callie) PURSER and John William TEMPLE(S) were married in 1922 in NC.66534 Children were: Frances Eugene TEMPLE-138144, Betty Elizabeth TEMPLE-138145, Hilda Gray TEMPLE-158344.


John William (Johnie) TEMPLE(S)6009 was born on 5 August 1895 in Shelbyville, Shelby, TX.6010,126570,129858 He appeared in the census in June 1900 in Shelby Co., TX.6010 In April 1910 he was a laborer in Shelby Co., TX.126570 In 1917 John was a farmer in Shelbyville, Shelby, TX.129858 He served in the military in 1918/9.129859,129860 Dates may not be inclusive. As a private assigned to Company I, 39th Infantry, 4th Division (Regular), he was supposed to depart New York aboard the Espagne on 8 May 1918. For reasons unknown, as a private in the same unit but administratively handled by Casual Detachment No. 1, 4th Division (Regular), he departed later on the Louisville on 19 May 1918.
His service number was 2228063. He died. Appeared with the terminal S in 1910. Parents: Christopher R. (Kit) TEMPLE-19994 and Missouri -20018.


John William (Johnnie) TEMPLE(S)25514 was born on 20 September 1920 in GA.148 His enlistment papers claimed 1920 in his first and 1919 in his second. CA death records gave the date as 20 Sep, but his widow Zora said it was 7 Sep 1920 in his veteran's headstone application. He served in the military between 1937 and 1946.1006,7566,129861,129862,129863 He enlisted twice, for unknown reasons. First, as Johnnie Temples, he enlisted on 8 Aug 1940 at Fort Benning, GA, as a private assigned to the Panama Canal Department, where he served with Company B, 84th Armed Medium Battalion. He claimed residence in Muscogee Co., GA. Service # 14012493. It was under this name and service # that his widow, Zora Adell Temples, applied for his veteran's headstone fur burial in Wheatland, CA.

Then, as John W. Temple, he enlisted on 11 Aug 1940 at Fort McPherson, Atlanta, GA, as a private in the Coast Artillery Corps or Army Mine Planter Service, for the Panama Canal Department. He claimed residence in Polk Co., GA. Discharged 12 Oct 1943. Service # 14006873. Pension # 355 41 57.

In Feb 1945, medical records indicate he had served between 5 and 10 years, putting his enlistment as early as 1935 and late as 1940, but that needs to be tempered by his being only 15 in 1935. So, his enlistment date, at its earliest was about 1936 or 1937, as shown. When he enlisted, he was in AL, FL, GA, MS, NC, SC, or TN. He served in the field artillery. He was admitted to treatment at the Fort Sill, OK, station hospital for acute nasopharygitis in Feb 1945. Treated and released back to duty in Feb 1945. Service # 14006873. He lived in Polk Co., GA in 1940.1006 John died on 2 May 1961 at the age of 40 in Colusa, Colusa, CA.148,7566 Buried in Wheatland Cemetery, Wheatland, CA. Given with and without the terminal S in his military records - his original enlistment was as a Temples, but he later went by Temple. His widow, Zora Adell, went by Temple when she filled out the application for his veteran's headstone, but that application noted his military records were in the name of Temples. His having enlisted twice, once under each surname, didn't help keep things straight.

There are a large number of John W. Temples of comparable age, but none were found with his age and a source state of AL, FL, GA, MS, NC, SC, or TN. If he enlisted underage, he may have run away from home, so the enlistment state may not be his actual home state.

Spouse: Zora Adell (Zora) -157669. Zora Adell (Zora) and John William (Johnnie) TEMPLE(S) were married before 1961.

Jones TEMPLE(S)6912,129864 was born in 1769 in Richland Co., SC.129865 Death records gave VA. He moved about 1797 in Screven Co., GA.13680,123553 He moved in 1805 in Effingham Co., GA.13680 Jones moved before 1810 in Tattnall Co., GA.13680 He moved before 1816 in Jasper Co., GA.13680 In 1819 he was a butcher in Savannah, Chatham, GA.129865 Jones died on 12 March 1819 at the age of 50 in Savannah, Chatham, GA.129865,129866 Fell off his horse seven miles from town. Buried in Colonial Park Cemetery, Savannah, GA. Apparently named for a family friend or relative named Jones Bonner. Appears with the terminal S in his marriage and death records.

He may have had a daughter, Sarah Temples, who married William Cook in Marion Co., MS in 1839. Another of Jones' children, James, married a Cook, who might be related to William. Parents: Jacob TEMPLE-17167 and Mary -17172.

Jones TEMPLE(S) was born about 1800. He mentioned in court records in 1822 in Tattnall Co., GA.129867 His existence is inferred. His father died in 1819, and could not have married Ann Veazey. Parents: Jones TEMPLE(S)-17176 and Sarah -17177.

Spouse: Ann VEAZEY-17180. Ann VEAZEY and Jones TEMPLE(S) were married on 19 January 1832 in Troup Co., GA.13680,129868,129869 In Troup Co., GA, Marriage Book A, p. 44. Children were: Elisha J. (Elias) TEMPLE(S)-32926.

Spouse: Rebecca NALL-10006. Rebecca NALL and Joseph TEMPLE(S) were married on 15 February 1842 in Chatham Co., NC.35181,60824,60825 The date is confused between Josiah and Joseph, each of whom married a NALL sister.


Joseph TEMPLE(S) was born in June 1870 in Gulf, Chatham, NC.7259,60821 Enumerated as 2 months in Aug 1870.Gave 1871 in 1880. He appeared in the census in August 1870 in Gulf, Chatham, NC.60822 Enumerated with his grandfather. He appeared in the census in June 1880 in Gulf, Chatham, NC.60821 Enumerated as the son of Mary, the age given for the Mary with whom he was staying indicates it was more likely to have been his grandmother than his mother. Joseph died. Appears with the terminal S in 1880.

Joseph may be confused with another Joseph, son of Josiah and Mary - as he is part of the whole confusion over Josiah and his wives. He is placed with this family based on the 1880 census. Parents: Joseph TEMPLE-61618 and Mary Elizabeth WEEKS-35065.


Joseph Baylor TEMPLE(S)7827 was born in 1830 in KY.37788,37789,37790 In July 1860 he was a carpenter in Boyle Co., KY.37789 In August 1870 he was a carpenter in Boyle Co., KY.37790 In June 1880 Joseph was a railroad laborer in Eel River, Clay, IN.37788 He died. He has reference number RLT # (None).1931 Appears with the terminal S in 1870. I think he is related to Robert Temple, husband of Cornett, the latter both born in KY. Robert and Cornett's daughter, Martha Jane, married a Hall (same as Joseph and Elizabeth's daughter Nancy Jane), and both daughters (though about a generation apart) ended up being buried in the same cemetery in Lizton, IN. Joseph and Robert and their wives were all from KY.

Joseph Henry (Henry) TEMPLE(S) was born on 7 September 1914 in Broadway, Harnett, NC.227,68166,68168,68169 Gave Jun 1914 in 1920. He appeared in the census in January 1920 in Averasboro, Harnett, NC.68166 In April 1940 he was a farmer in Stewart's Creek, Harnett, NC.68168 Joseph lived RFD 1 in Bunnlevel, Harnett, NC in October 1940.68169 He lived in Lillington Twp., Harnett, NC in 1947.39815 He lived in Erwin, Harnett, NC in 1955.7988 Joseph died on 21 November 1977 at the age of 63 in Bunnlevel, Harnett, NC.227,129870 Buried in Friendship Cemetery, Harnett Co., NC. I think he is Henry, b 1914, son of Charlie T. and Alice (Richardson) Temple(s), but since the 1920 census gave his birth as Jun 1914, it may be that Joseph Henry and Henry are two different people. Joseph Henry was the one whose birthday was 7 Sep 1914 and also had a mother named Alice, according to his WWII draft registration.

Appeared without the terminal S in his WWII draft registration.

This family is composed from birth records; two children (Joseph and Jo Ann) were credited to Joseph Henry Temple; the third, Judy, was credited to Allison Chalmers Temple. Based on the middle name of the first of these, Joseph Chalmers Temple, I have interpreted Allison Chalmers Temple as the mother of these children. There are problems with this interpretation. First, I find no record of their marriage, and the only Allison Temple I can find is a black male b 1885. Also, the obituary of Marion Eve (Lunsford) Temple says she was the wife of Joseph H. Temple, and she was b 1921. While she and Joseph had three children, only one (Joey) bears resemblance to this family. Parents: Charlie Thomas TEMPLE(S)-17075 and Alice RICHARDSON-17082.

Spouse: Allison CHALMERS-80957. Allison CHALMERS and Joseph Henry (Henry) TEMPLE(S) were married about 1943. Children were: Jo Ann TEMPLE-80958.

He appeared in the census in June 1900 in Little River, Wake, NC.52991 He appeared in the census in April 1910 in Little River, Wake, NC.45333 In 1917 Joseph was a farmer in Zebulon, Wake, NC.129872 He appeared in the census in January 1920 in Little River, Wake, NC.52992 In April 1930 he was a farmer in Little River, Wake, NC.31254 Joseph lived in Zebulon, Wake, NC in January 1940.52994 In April 1940 he was a farmer in Marks Creek, Wake, NC.31256 He died on 11 June 1990 at the age of 96 in Zebulon, Wake, NC.227,129871 Buried in Zebulon Cemetery, Zebulon, NC.

Parents: George Washington (George) TEMPLE(S)-17072 and Sarah Alice (Sally) LILES-17074.

Spouse: May Emma EATON-17087. May Emma EATON and Joseph Maylon (Maylon) TEMPLE(S) were married on 29 June 1926 in Raleigh, Wake, NC.26761,31258 The newspaper report of the marriage was dateline as 10 Jul 1926 in Franklinton, NC, and said they had married on 9 Jul in Franklinton The report was published on 11 Jul. These dates all are in errror - the article closed by saying they were going on a tour of Washington, Baltimore and NYC, and would return on 10 Jul - in other words - they'd return the day of their reported wedding. Marriage records are therefore taken to be the correct date, though the location may have been in Franklinton. Children were: Ruth TEMPLE-87231, Joseph (Joe) TEMPLE-87232.

Appears with the terminal S in 1870 and 1910. Given as Lafayette in 1860 and 1900. Name is spelled Lafate in the 1900 census.

It is not clear if his wife Helen P was also the same as the one enumerated in 1910 as Parlie (which may be what the P stood for). Parents: Jeremiah (Jerry) TEMPLE-52831 and Jemima UNGER-52832.
