      Biography
      Temperance was the daughter of William Gilbert[1] and Anne Clere. She may have been born in Derbyshire where her father acquired land. Her birth date is not known, but she married in 1617, her husband was born in about 1596 (said to be age 15 in 1611[2]), and she had 10 children, two of them from her second marriage in 1633:[3][4] on that basis, her birth year has been estimated as about 1595.

      The 1605 will of Temperance's maternal grandfather Edward Clere left an annuity to be used for the advancement of the marriages of Temperance and her sister Katherine.[5] She, her brother Henry and her sister Clere were residuary legatees under the 1608 will of her father, proved in 1609.[6]

      Temperance married twice. Her first husband was John Alsop.[1] They married on 1 May 1617 at Mickleover, Derbyshire.[3][4][7][8] They had eight children:

      Anthony,[1][3][4] described as eldest brother in the will of his brother John[9]
      John[3][4]
      Timothy[3][4]
      George[3][4]
      Jane, who married Roger Jackson[3][4]
      Mary[3][4]
      Elizabeth, who married Richard Baldwin and William Fowler[3][4]
      Clere[3][4]
      John Alsop died in 1631. On 20 August 1633 Temperance married William Hopkins at Alvaston, Derbyshire.[3][4][10] They had two children:

      William,[3][4] baptised at Mickleover, Derbyshire on 25 September 1636[11] and buried there on 14 January1636/7[12]
      Temperance[3][4]
      Temperance was left £50 in the 1643 will of her son John.[9]

      Temperance died "overseas" (almost certainly meaning in New England where some of her children were) before 6 November 1648, when her second husband was granted administration of her estate.[3][4]

      Disambiguation
      Temperance Gilbart/Gilbert, daughter of William, baptised at West Camel, Somerset on 15 January 1597/8,[13][14] belongs to a different family, which included a number of other children baptised at West Camel in the 1590s.[15]
