I am working on the TEMPLETON line - Samuel P. TEMPLETON was in Calhoun County in 1860 - as was his son James Guthrie TEMPLETON - who moved to Lincoln Parish in the early 1890's. Can anyone tell me where he is buried or if he moved from the area. I have visited your library there several times - but have been unable to locate Samuel. Samuel's son James G. TEMPLETON - married a POLAND - Other names that tie into the Templeton line are HANNA - PATTERSON - If you can help - I will certainly appreciate it and will be happy to share what I have with you. Dot.
