First, I am searching for information regarding the exact name of the sailing ship Temperance Flowerdew sailed in 1609, from London England to the Jamestown Colony, whether it was called simply, 'Falcon' or 'Falcon's Flight' I do believe it to be the latter.
Temperance Flowerdew was the daughter of one, Anthony Flowerdew, Esq., of Hethersett County, (Map - Hethersett, Norwich) Norfolk England, her mother, Martha Stanley of Scottow, (Map - Scottow, Norwich) Norfolk England.
Temperance was married first to 'Richard Barrow', it is unknown if he left England with her, or if there were any children. (This link from Hethersett Herald provides substantial information, "the unknowns" still sought)
Temperance married secondly, Governor George Yeardley, appointed, Govenor of Virginia November 1618; he was Knighted by, King James VI, I in an audience in New Market.
My father descends from this union.
Temperance married 3rdly, Governor Francis West, supposedly, there were no children
Secondly, I also am considering, what was the association to Sir John Martin, Master, the Captain of the ship of the Falcon, also, Mayor of London, and Master of the Mint of London; how Temperance came to be on this ship without Richard Barrow.
I imagine that most records were held within the West Minster Abby which caught fire in 1834, but there were a total of three fires that destroyed a lot of property, i.e. documents.
Any information, good or bad, that is discovered whether it is from the Jamestown Colony or England will be excitedly received and coveted.
Thank you for your assistance in this research effort.
