Martha Stanley was born about 1570 in England. She married Anthony Flowerdew and had at least three children.

Many of her children and grandchildren immigrated to Virginia and were influential in the early life of the colony. Temperance survived the Starving Time at Jamestown in the winter of 1609 and 1610. She later married George Yeardley, former Deputy Governor who went on the serve two more terms as governor and called for the first General Assembly meeting. Edmund Rossingham, son of her daughter Mary, was a representative at that first meeting. Her son Stanley was also in Jamestown and involved with the affairs of Flowerdew Hundred plantation which was founded by Governor George Yeardley in 1619. When George founded another plantation in 1627 he named it Stanley Hundred in honor of Martha.

Martha does not appear to have traveled to the colony and is thought to have died in England about 1626.
