(Swete Family Tree)
John Line Templer, the eldest son of Henry Line Templer was born at Hampton Court, Middlesex, on 23 February 1795, but was subsequently baptised at Teigngrace. His father at that time must have been in the service of the Prince of Wales, the future George IV.
He was educated at Westminster, and then, like his father, adopted a military and judicial career. Unlike his father, however, he does not appear to have travelled so widely in his military career. He was in the South Devon Militia and reached the rank of Major.
On 2 November 1826 at St. Sidwells Exeter be married An Davey, the daughter of George Davey. They had three sons and three daughters. Two of the sons were lost at sea. Immediately on marriage, they were resident in Ermington near Ivybridge where three children were born.
At least between 1833 and 1851, John Line Templer and his family wereliving at Tor Hill Cottage within the Parish of Ugborough, near Ivybridge. (Today in 1983, the cottage no longer appears to exist). He alsohad other property there (Godwell and Newlands) and in the neighbouring parish of Ermington. ?Tor Hill Cottage? appears not truly to represent the extent of his residence for in 1851 he had 44 acres and employed two men and one boy. He is described as a Landed Proprietor and Annuitant and J.P. Although his household consisted only of six in the family - himself and wife, daughter Ellen, son John Line, daughter Georgina and her husband Kenneth Leith Sutherland - yet there was an elderly male servant, a young male and young female servant. This was the household at the time of the 1851 Census. At times it probably consisted also of daughter An, who married that year, and Henry Line Templer who was in the Royal Navy.
John Line Templer became a J.P. and this work no doubt resulted in a move to Torpoint, Plymouth.
He suffered Hemiplegia in January 1864 which, resulted in his death thirteen months later on 15 February 1865 at 1 Mount Edgcumbe Terrace, Plymouth.
His will made in 1837 is, genealogically, disappointing, but interesting in some other respects. It is surprising that it was made nearly twenty-eight years before his death and not subsequently revised. It is drawn up in a long and rambling fashion by solicitors, and written inan elegant but virtually incomprehensible flowing style. One would beinclined to date it nearer 1637 than 1837!! With the passing of the twenty eight years, the appointed Trustees had both died and in consequence An, the Testator?s wife, was granted administration of the will. In brief, the will left all to the wife, An Templer, so long as she remained a widow, and thereafter the estate was to be shared by John Line Templer?s surviving children. His effects were under £1,500.
An Templer survived her husband only four years, dying in 1869.
