Elizabeth Templer(1792 - 1873)
The eighth of these children is Elizabeth Templer who was born 22 April 1792 in Loudoun County, VA, and died on 30 November 1873 in Coles County, IL. From the three
biographies we located for son, James H. Williams, we learn that she married William Williams and they lived for many years in Culpeper County, VA, and later moved to Knox County,
OH, and then on to Coles County,IL. They are buried in Campground Cemetery in Coles County, IL.
In addition, through DNA analysis and research, we also learned of what appears to be the oldest child for this family. There appear to be others still unknown to us.
