Robert of Saco, Me., was b. about 1639, probably in Salem, Mass. In 1660 Robert Temple  is fined at Salem, Mass., for wearing silver lace when he was thought not to have property sufficient to sustain such expense. He bought and sold real estate in Salem in 1660. Probably he went to Saco, Me., soon afterward. Robert Temple had a son Richard, born in Saco in 1668. He settled in Saco (or Biddeford), Me., where, in 1675, he was killed by the Indians, and his house and effects burned. His widow and children are thought to have removed to Massachusetts soon afterward. His son Richard settled in Reading, Mass., and founded a large family whose genealogy is being prepared by Rev. Edward Foster Temple, a descendant.
