Biography

Nancy is mentioned as Agnes Templeton in the 7 October 1829 will of her father Robert.

In the 1850 and 1860 census records, Nancy claims she was born in Ohio. This would mean she was born while her parents were in transit from South Carolina to Indiana.

She is buried in the Old Brookville Cemetery in Brookville, Franklin County, Indiana. Her tombstone, shared with her husband, reads " Nancy wife of Jefferson Colescott Born April 6, 1805, Died Mar. 18, 1867 Aged 61 yrs, 11 mo & 12 ds".

Nancy and her husband had one child.

Templeton-875 and Templeton-372 do not represent the same person because: Agnes 875 is granddaughter of Agnes 372; i.e., daughter of 372's son Robert
posted by Jack Templeton
Templeton-875 and Templeton-372 appear to represent the same person because: These two appear to be the same then according to History of Franklin County Indiana - Her people, Industries and Institutions by August J. Reifel published by B. F. Bowen & Company, Inc., Indianapolis, IN 1915 pp. 1085-1087.

The paternal grandparents of Lewis O. Taylor were Robert and Agnes (Templeton) Taylor. Robert Taylor was born in South Carolina and his wife was a native of that state also. Robert Taylor was a man of military distinction. He fought in the British and Indian wars, and was a hero of many battles. It was the "irony of fate" that he should live through those perilous experiences to later be killed by a runaway team of horses. His widow later moved to Indiana with her family. The maternal grandparents of Lewis O. Taylor also came to Indiana; in all probability they came here with Robert Taylor's widow and family. They settled in Franklin County and engaged in farming.
