Thomas Temple, the remote paternal ancestor of the subject of this sketch, of Heytesbury, Wiltshire, England, died about 1593, leaving ten children. Among his grandsons were, it is believed,
William Temple, of Coombs Lane, Parish of Atworth or Bradford-on-Avon, the ancestor of the Temples of Chester County, Pa., and of William Temple of Tithing Wick, the ancestor of the Virginia family of Temples.
William, of Coombs Lane, was the father of Thomas Temple, who was born in England in 1694, and was living in Chester County, Pa. ...
-----
Caution: 1694 is before the 1725 marriage of William Temple and Hannah Taylor, so it is not likely that they are his parents.
