While awaiting the verdict of the Supreme Court for the Amistad Affair in 1841, the Amistad Committee made plans to send the Amistad captives from New Haven to Farmington upon their release. The girls, Temme, Kagne and Margru, were to be housed with the families of Horace Cowles, Timothy Cowles and the Reverend Mr. Noah Porter.
Horace Cowles died in February, 1841, prior to the arrival of the group in Farmington. Temme arrived at the home of his widow, Elizabeth Hurlburt Cowles, on March 19, 1841. The Widow Cowles moved to West Hartford and Temme went to the home of
Dr. Chauncey Brown, where she lived for most of her stay in Farmington.
Dr. Brown’s wife, Julia Strong Brown, wrote an article about her care of "Tamie" which was printed in The Farmington Magazine in February 1901. In it she wrote: "One of these by name of Tamie was sent directly to me and remained with me until their departure for their native land."
