Where did the English Templer family come from? When did the Templer family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Templer family history?

 More

Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Templer family name include Templer, Templar and others.

First found in Devon where they held a family seat from very ancient times, before and after the Norman Conquest in 1066.

For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Templer surname or a spelling variation of the name include:

Templer Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century


  • Mary Templer, who landed in Maryland in 1676
  • Ruth Templer, who arrived in Maryland in 1678

Templer Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century


  • Margaret Templer settled in Pennsylvania in 1772
  • James Templer settled in America in 1774

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.

Motto: Nihil sine labore
Motto Translation: Nothing without labour.
