Temperance (Tempy) Collins
Tempy was born 19 Jul 1803 in Franklin County, North Carolina to James and Temperance Collins.
On 18 Feb 1832 a bond of marriage was issued to Bennett Stallings.
They had the following children:
- Solomon born 1827 and died 1865. From this date his death could be related to the Civil War.
- Maria born 1827
- Betsey born 1833
- Wiley S. born 1833 and died Jul 1864 during the Civil War
- William H born 1846 and possibly CSA
Unfortunately I have not found very much on the children to date. But will continue to search.
Tempy appears in the 1850 Census:

| 1850 Federal Census |
In the 1860 Bennett is living in the home of Willis
 |
| 1860 Federal Census |
Tempy passed away between 1850 and 1860.
I suppose it could be comforting to know that she did not have to endure the loss of her boys, as they passed away after her.
A short life for Tempy but I am sure it was full.
Thanks for stopping by!
