Temperance Flowerdew
Temperance Flowerdew (1590 – 1628)〔Dorman, John Frederick, ''Adventurers of Purse and Person'', 4th ed., v.3, pp861-872〕〔(Biography of Temperance Flowerdew ) by Nancy LeSourd, Liberty Letters website, accessed July 12, 2010〕 was an early settler of the Jamestown Colony and a key member of the Flowerdew family, significant participants in the history of Jamestown. Temperance Flowerdew was wife of two Governors of Virginia, sister of another early colonist,〔"Although George Yeardley acquired the thousand acres that he named Flowerdew Hundred in 1619, it seems very likely that some settlement had begun there before that date, for his brother-in-law Stanley Flowerdew took a shipment of tobacco to England in the same year, probably grown on the same property." Flowerdew Hundred: the archaeology of a Virginia Plantation by James Deetz, p. 19〕 aunt to a representative at the first General Assembly〔Ensign Edmund Rossingham, son of Temperance's sister Mary, represented Flowerdew Hundred in the first General Assembly in 1619. Southall, James P.C., "Concerning George Yardley and Temperance Flowerdew", ''William and Mary Quarterly'', Jul 1947〕 and "cousin-german" (first cousin) to the Secretary to the Colony.〔Charlotte Fell-Smith, ‘Pory, John (bap. 1572, d. 1636?)’, rev. David R. Ransome, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Oct 2007 (accessed 28 Sept 2011 )〕
Flowerdew was one of the few survivors of the brutal winter of 1609–10, known as the "Starving Time", which killed almost ninety percent of Jamestown's inhabitants. Later, upon the death of her second husband, George Yeardley, Flowerdew became one of the wealthiest women in Virginia.〔 Upon her death, the estate was transferred to her children despite the efforts of her third husband to claim it.〔Donaldson, Evelyn Kinder. "Squires and Dames of Old Virginia, 1950" p. 21 Los Angeles, Calif: Miller Print Co., 1950〕〔Sturtz, Linda, Within Her Power: Propertied Women in Colonial Virginia, New York: Routledge (2002) p.24〕 She appears on the periphery of many historical events that occurred during the period.
