JAMES TEMPLIN/MARY SALMON

New Proposed Ancestry

By

Marvin Templin

 

 

                        In our search for records we came across a record in the Maryland Archives that listed a John Templin that purchased land in 1709 in Somerset County, Maryland. As we studied the history of Maryland and Delaware, we found that the boundaries had been changed by 1765 and part of Maryland became Delaware. We then received an E-mail from a Lady that had been doing research on the Salmon/Solman line. She had seen our web page and questioned our lineage on James and Mary Salmon Templin. She also sent me Microfilm numbers that I may want to check out. I ordered the films and found enough documentation to convince me that the James Templin that married Mary Salomon was not out of the Richard Templin line of Chester Co. Pa..
