Edmund Rossingham (original) (raw)

Edmund Rossingham (sometimes shown as Ensign Rossingham, Captain Rossingham or Roffingham, probably due to old style printing) was the nephew of and factor or agent for Sir George Yeardley, who was Governor of the Colony of Virginia, three times between November 1616 and November 1627, and his wife Temperance Flowerdew. Rossingham was a member of the first assembly of the Virginia House of Burgesses at Jamestown, Virginia in 1619 for Flowerdew Hundred Plantation, Yeardley's plantation.
