THAYER'S NOTES:

*** In the supplement, Vol. IV, the exact date of Captain Templeman's death is given as February 11, 1852.

*** Not absolutely certain, but very probable. Our man's name is not that common, and the cemetery is in Georgetown, which in 1852 had fewer than 10,000 inhabitants. Note, however, that the date of Geo. Templeman's death is given as the grave marker as January 30.

NOTES:

It appears in this Census that George and Mary had two more children Arthur in 1851 and Charles in 1852/53, probably born afrter George Templeman died.

Notice the transcriber read the name as Tampleman instead of the correct Templeman.

After George Templeman's death the family moved to York, Pennsylvania, for reasons not known. George appears to have left Mary and the children well off, with $30,000 in Real Estate value, and $20,000 in Personal Estate. She also seems to always have a servant in the household.
