Birth*15 September 1781Temperance Ohara was born on 15 September 1781.2 
Marriage*3 August 1808She married Amos Squire on 3 August 1808 at Fort Chartres, St. Clair County, Illinois. There is confusion regarding Temperance's maiden name. Their marriage records all state it was "Ohara" and her memorial reported it as "Worley". Additionally, her memorial reported the year of their marriage as 1805 and the Illinois marriage records give the year as 1808. While it's possible Amos married two different women named Temperance within three years of each other, it doesn't seem likely.1,2,3 
(Wife) Death12 August 1825Temperance became a widow when Amos Squire died on 12 August 1825 at age 50.3

Research Opinion*Elizabeth was named in her father's will, and if born in 1696, would have married at age 21.
