Thayer's Notes:

a In the Supplement, Vol. IV, the exact date of Capt. Templeman's death is given as Feb. 11, 1852. See also next note:

[decorative delimiter]

b 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 on the grave marker as Jan'y 30.
