This particular Elizabeth Temple is the granddaughter of Return Temple. Levi Daniel Temple, in his year 1900 publication, "Some Temple Pedigrees" said the following about Return Temple: "Return of Ewing, N. J., was born there about 1715. He married probably about 1740 a woman, said to be from Massachusetts, whose name cannot be ascertained. Tradition explains his name by saying that his father was captured, while on a voyage to England, by French or Spanish privateers, and his return home delayed beyond what was expected. On the day, however, of his arrival, his wife presented him with a son, who was piously christened "Return." He is thought to have had a flouring mill on the Delaware river."
