- Description:
- John Temple, Lieutenant Governor of New Hampshire, 1760-74, enjoyed remarkable success in playing both sides in the American Revolution. As a customs official, 1761-70, he had pleased colonial merchants and his English patrons by collecting as much revenue as possible while avoiding the punitive seizures of ships and goods. During the Revolution he traveled back and forth between England and America seeking positions in Britain in exchange for his services as a conciliator. Afterwards he failed to clear his name in the United States, but became a baronet and British consul general in New York
