(Witness) Bio

Gilbert Templeton may be mentioned as one of Posey County's most prominent farmers and citizens. He is a native of the county, born January 30, 1820, and a son of Samuel and Sarah (Curtis) Templeton. The father was born in South Carolina in 1792, a tanner by trade, and followed that occupation the greater part of his life. At the time of his death (1872) he was a resident of Black Township. His wife was born in North Carolina in 1795 and died in 1870.
Our subject was reared at home and received a common school education. He remained with his parents until twenty-four years of age, when he began working for himself. April 8, 1847, he married Desire, daughter of Elisha and Elicila Philips. She was born August 12, 1827, and died September 1, 1885, having borne seven children: Sarah, Armenias, Jennie and Frederick, living, and Mary, Thomas and Eva, deceased.
Mr. Templeton is in every sense of the word a self-made man. He started in life with no capital except his hands and boundless energy, and now owns 275 acres of very fine land in Black Township and 100 acres in Point Township. He is a warm Republican and cast his first vote for Henry Clay. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.²
