United States of America / Re: TIGNOR family in Virginia

Dear all,
My effort to reply to ohio person seemed to get knocked out by the entry of the post from someone trying to contact Sandra. I will try again below.
My aim is to establish perimeters for the birth and marriage of William Tigner (d.1656/57) (so far first located in Virginia records in 1650 by on south side of Rappahannock River, but apparently already having been there for sometime) in order to search for appropriate origins for him, probably in South-East England.
1. If I understand it correctly there are not records of birth/baptism or marriage of people in Virginia before 1652, but there are death, land and probate records from that date; is that correct? If so is there a definitive death record for William Tignor in 1656/57, probably in Lancaster county, which might give his age at death, or a gravestone that might give his age at death?
2. Are there records of the 90 single women brought in to Virginia in 1619 to help populate the settlement. Were there any Mabels amongst them?
3. Did people come from other American colonies to Virginia between 1607 and 1650?
4. I understand that Coldham has done a lot of work on indentured settlers into Virginia over the 1607 to 1660 period, but have not had any chance to consult these during lock-down, but wonder if William Tignor (d1656/57) was amongst them before 1650.
5. Where can one access boat records of people coming to Virginia over the 1607 to 1650 period, particularly before 1640?
John TICKNOR settled in Scituate in Massachusetts in 1646, reputedly coming from Tenterden in Kent, England, having been baptised there in 1633.
Most of these TICKNOR/TICHENOUR/TIGNOR name variants were living in Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Berkshire and London in South-East England at this point in time.
regards,
Vincent
