* The family of Temple had at this period spread into several branches, 

 and it is difficult to identify the gentleman named in the text. There is a 

 pedigree of this ancient and long enduring house in Nichols' " History of the 

 County of Leicester," and many particulars of the family will be found in the 

 pages of the " Herald and Genealogist," but no mention is mode of this lay- 

 rector of Crux Easton. Very probably, however, he was the son of John 

 Temple, of Kingston Deverell, co. Wilts, described in Hoare's " Modern Wilts," 

 as William Temple, of Bishopstrow, gent. In 1637, a William Temple pur- 

 chased the fee or the manor of Bishopstrow, of James Tnchet, Lord Audley, 

 and Castlehaven.
