About Temperance Sturgis

  • FYI: No indexed primary source yet exists affirming Temperance as a daughter of Ebenezer & Temperance.
  • However, Ancestry.com's access to North America, Family Histories, 1500-2000 lists her as "Temperance Hawes-Gorham", which give credence to Temperance being the daughter of Ebenezer & Temperance Hawes Gorham. Here are two indexed primary source records for their marriage: FamilySearch, AFamilySearch, B.
  • One primary source for her is a marriage record available on FamilySearch. Unfortunately, it does include no parentage for Temperance or Jonathan Sturgis.
  • Find a Grave Index Inscription: "Mrs Temperance wife of Jonathan Sturgis died Nov. 25, 1824, AE 82." — Note: All Find a Grave Index data is only as helpful as the quality of sources cited – if any are cited at all.
