Mary Frances Crittenden Templeton was the middle child of thirteen, (three died in infancy) born to Nancy R Jackson, (1792-1865) and Pryor Crittenden, (1781-1854).
On the 13th of May, 1852, in Wilson Co, Tennessee, Mary Frances married John Wesley Templeton, (1820-1889) the youngest child of eight born to Anne Nancy Claywell, (1781-1853) and John Templeton, Jr. (1781-1850).
The Templeton/Crittenden families have produced intelligent, industrious, ambitious, and hard-working citizens. They contributed to the betterment of their families, communities and the advancement and education of themselves and others. Several family members were college graduates in the late 1800's and early 1900's at a time when few people were lucky enough to finish the eighth grade.
Agriculture, literature, military, education, sports, medicine, business, law, engineering, finance, philanthropy, and even one Olympian were all professions/occupations/accomplishments in which members of this clan distinguished themselves.
The following is a short history of this family's travels, residences and life. I have included this as clarification to explain where they were born, lived, raised families, worked and died.
Mary Frances's parents, Nancy and Pryor Crittenden, left their home in Nottoway, Virginia sometime around 1830 and settled in Wilson Co, TN. Eight of the older children were born in VA and the last two, Brunet and Daniel Webster, were born in Wilson, TN.
After Nancy's husband, Pryor died in 1856, she settled in Muhlenberg, KY, along with her son, Dr. Robert Crittenden. Several other children also later moved to KY.
Mary Frances's husband, John Wesley, in 1844, lived in Elkton, Ky, later in Winchester, Tennessee and in April, 1857, he and his family went to Gentry county, Missouri where they farmed. In November, 1858, he again became a merchant.
On May 13, 1863, J. W, with his family, returned to Kentucky from Gentry, MO. He lived near Greenville for twenty-four years. After the children all left the old home, they went to reside with their daughter, Mrs. Blanche Rogers, near Auburn, Kentucky. There he passed away June 20, 1889, at the age of sixty-nine years.
After her husband died, Mary Frances left KY to live with her daughter, Alice Black in Louisa Co, Iowa.
On July 26, 1890, she departed, with her son, Joseph Crittenden Templeton, for his home, at the Montana Wesleyan University, Helena, Montana, he being an instructor in the school. There on March 16, 1892, she died, aged sixty-five.
