      Jordan's Journey plantation

    Notes:

    Ref: 50V74-80

    In 1623/4, Temperance is listed in the muster of the household of William Farrar and Mistress Sisley Jordan. While definitive proof of her parentage is not available, all circumstantial evidence points to Sisley Jordan and her first husband as Temperance's parents.

    It is not clear whether Temperance and John Browne had children.There is one possible son, a John Brown, who died before 1677.

    Connie Lapallo gives a death date of 1651.

    Temperance resided at Bremo Plantation



    Died:
    I suspect that this death date may be wrong. According to some, she lived to a much older age and married a second time. According to findagrave.com, she lived at least until 1652 rather than 1647 as reported elsewhere.
