: Thank you JoyceD!
:
: I will check out the 1878 Atlas. I plan on
: writing a history of the area. My ancestor
: came to Prince George's in 1663 and my
: family has lived there since. As soon as
: finals are finished I plan on spending a
: good amount of time up at the library to
: learn more about the area.

: There is an E. Temple listed on page 22 of
: the
: 1878 Prince George's County Atlas on Temple
: Rd., but Temple Rd. doesn't look like Temple
: Hills Rd. It looks more like Brinkley Rd.
: since it goes northwest from Allentown Rd.
: instead of north to northeast. He apparently
: lived just west of Henson Creek.
:
: There's a photo on pg. 31 in "Images of
: America: Prince George's County,
: Maryland".
:
: If you write a history of the area, I'd love
: to see it.

: Would anyone know any history on the area of
: Temple Hills? Three generations of my
: family are from Temple Hills (where the
: Recreation Center is now). I have read that
: it was land owned by a gentleman named
: "E. Temple" some time ago, but
: cannot find anything otherwise.
:
: Thanks!
