General Notes: Husband - William Templeton

---

In 1845 He and his wife came to Greenville, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and for two years kept the Exchange Hotel. Then they bought a farm in West Salem Township, where they resided the rest of their lives.
In 1849 he and four sons went to California with the view of mining. He and two of his sons, Philip and William, traveled by water, while John and Chambers went overland with a mule team. The two last remained about two years, and the others for one year, and all were quite successful.
