Joseph Temple lived at "Presqu'Isle" about two miles below Aylett's Warehouse. This tract of land is formed into an "almost island" by the Mattapony River and a small stream known by the name of Spirit Run. After feeding Aylett's mill pond, Spirit Run flows into the river just above Pointer's Landing, thus cutting off a deep bend in the Mattapony and enclosing one of the most fertile farms on the north side of the county. "Presqu'Isle" was Arnold property and it is likely that Joseph Temple acquired it by his marriage with Ann Arnold, daughter of Benjamin Arnold.

Notes:

Colonel Humphrey Hill, son of Thomas and Edith (Bell) Hill, of London, England, was born in 1706, and was a "blue coat" boy of Christ Church Hospital school, where the record of his matriculation is still preserved. This school was been in existence for 350 years with a royal charter from King Charles II and has continued to enjoy royal patronage.

The school is best known for the Tudor uniform: long blue coat, knee-breeches, yellow socks, and bands at the neck for boys. The nickname "Blue-coat School" comes from the blue coats worn by the students, however, the nickname used within the school community itself is "Housey" and the long coat is called a "housey coat".

Christ's Hospital (not a hospital in the contemporary sense) was established in 1553 for the benefit of orphaned children or those made homeless by impecunious parents. If they were legitimate children of free men of the City of London, over four years of age and free from obvious infirmity, they were to be educated and prepared either for entrance to a university or apprenticeship to a trade.

It's likely Humphrey was abandoned by his father at this orphanage after his mother, Edith's death. His uncle Humphrey Bell later rescued him and sent him to Virginia to handle Bell-family business interests.

He served a 7 year apprenticeship in London with his uncle. And his brother Thomas Hill, lived in Spotsylvania County.

Humphrey settled first at Hobbe's Hold (now Tappahannock) as a tobacco factor.

Family home was named Hillsboro. It is still standing as of 1950 and is owned by one of his descendants, William Todd Henley. Humphrey Hill was one of the guardians of Carter Braxton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Indenpendence. He owned ships that brought good from all parts of the Atlantic. Records show that he brought direct from Africa one vessel loaded with 400 slaves, which he indicated few died in transit and all were in remarkably good condition.

From Wikipedia

St. Bride's may be one of the most ancient churches in London, with worship perhaps dating back to the conversion of the Middle Saxons in the 7th century. The present St Bride's is at least the seventh church to have stood on the site.

In 1666, the following year, the church was completely destroyed during the Great Fire of London, which burned much of the city. After the fire, the old church was replaced by an entirely new building designed in 1672 by Sir Christopher Wren, who designed and built St. Paul's cathedral. St. Bride's was one of his largest and most expensive works, taking seven years to build.

So the church was relatively new when Humphrey was baptized.
