The town of Temple, NH was incorporated 26 Aug 1768, & named for the Hon. John Temple. It is located in the southwestern part of HILLSBORO County. Hurd reports that this township embraced several tracts of land granted to individuals by the government of Massachusetts prior to 1740, & the territory was granted by the Masonian proprietors in November, 1750. For a number of years it was called Peterborough Slip, and included the present town of Sharon, NH, & when Temple was incorporated, in 1768, a tier of lots on the west side of Wilton & the easterly portion of Peterborough Slip (or Sliptown) was included. Later, areas from New Ipswich, Peterborough, & Lyndeborough were also annexed into Temple, NH.The boundary disputes between Massachusetts & New Hampshire, and the various annexations and redrawn boundary lines between the towns in this area, make colonial research quite a challenge. I've learned to be flexible, & search surrounding towns vital records, histories, etc. One of my Temple, NH ancestors, Joshua Todd, was reported by one source to have been born in Rowley-Canada...Though I still don't know if that is true, I did discover that Rowley-Canada was an area that encompassed a small bit of Temple, and parts of Rindge, Jaffrey, & Sharon. (Yes, I did scratch my head wondering how he could have been born as far away as the present day town of Rowley in Alberta, Canada.) My ancestor, Joshua Todd, was among the first to settle in Temple, arriving about 1758 with his wife & children. Their daughter, Elizabeth Todd married Zebadiah Dinsmore who had relocated from neighboring Hollis, NH with his father, Abraham, about 1764. I am descended from this union of the Todd & Dinsmore families.
ANN'S TEMPLE ANCESTORS
Though I myself have only visited Temple, I have learned a great deal about this town through my family research, & have developed a special affection for this wonderful little New England town nestled in the hills of Hillsboro County, New Hampshire. I hope the following information & links will help others to learn about this town as well.
- I chose the tune "The Cruel War" for this page when I discovered that my ancestor, Zebadiah Dinsmore married Elizabeth Todd 13 MAR 1777, & the "Alarm" calling Temple men to NY came shortly after.
Zebadiah answered that call, and marched with Capt. Drury's Company to serve at Ticonderoga & Saratoga. He appears to have left Temple for this purpose about 2 months after the wedding.

Just a thought: It is strange to think that I may have been "warned out" or sent to Rhode Island
by my ancestors...or maybe not.

As a descendent of Aaron Felt and Tabitha Upton, I am seeking information about the following: John Upton William Upton Lydia Burnap Mary Maber Mary Wyatt Thomas Chase and his daughter Rachel Chase Any information about these ancestors would be welcome. All I have is their names. Thank you. Betty White, e-mail: bwhite@westelcom.com I would very much like to correspond with anyone who is also researching the family of Joseph and Rebecca Kidder, who lived in Temple during the late 1700's. (Some records show that Rebecca was Miss Chamberlain; some show that she was Mrs. Wilder.) Their children born between 1750 and 1770 were: Wilder, Rebecca, Sibyl, Susannah, Lydia, Molly, Joseph, Calvin, and Rhoda. I am descended from Calvin. Joseph had joined his brothers, Aaron and Reuben Kidder, to help found the next town, New Ipswich, around 1750. Between them they had almost 30 children (born in New Ipswich). The three brothers had been born in Westford, MA (which was annexed off of Chelmsford, MA). They were great-grandsons of "Ensign James Kidder," the patriarch of the family. Betty Fredericks, e-mail: bbffrrpp@comcast.net John STILES born in Lunenburg,Worcester Co.,Mass, 27 July 1749: married 5 July 1770, Kexiah DIVOLL of Lunenburg,Mass(dau of _____?) John and Keziah lived in Temple from 1770-1785. John served in Revolutionary War, marched to Lexington Alarm on 19 April 1775. Also was with Capt Drury's company when they marched to Ticondergoa, NY in 1777. Can anyone tell me more about this family ? Reply to Cynthia E-mail: cyndylou3@earthlink.net There were two Timothy Farnsworths born in Peterboro the same day,17 Sept 1812. One married Elizabeth Grandy. The other Timothy married Fannie Louisa Tilton in Peterboro on 7 Mar 1840/1. One article says they were married in Claremont and one says Peterboro.The marriage date is 17 Mar 1841. One of the women was said to be ggg gdaughter of a Narragansett Indian Chief. No records of parents found. Talk about coincidence!!! My problem is I'm trying to locate the Indian woman in my ancestry. Something doesn't seem right. According to my uncle, that would be the generation of the Indian woman. I'd appreciate any help.

*Note: Though there is a catagory called "Negroes and Slaves for life", the number of negroes & slaves for life = 0. The catagory was used, rather, to report "Guns" and "Powd'r". "In accordance with the request of the Provincial Congress, the Selectmen of the town reported the following summary of its population, the amount of powder, and the number of firearms, etc., in their possession at the date of Oct. 28, of this year : --" Males under 16 years of age = 143 Males from 16-50 not in ye army = 94 Males above 50 = 6 Persons in ye army = 18 Negroes and Slaves for life = 0 Guns in repair = 66 Guns out of repair = 4 Public stock of powder = 112 lbs. Private stock of powder = 45 lbs. "The sum total is 491 men, women and children. The public stock of powder at this time is the largest in th county ; New ipswich stands second in this respect, but possesses only 74 lbs. The census, in detail, is exceedingly curious. I doubt that another such anywhere remains."
