It looks like it will be difficult for you to find many names although, indeed, there were single women in Colonial Times.

When looking for information about non-married colonial women who were heroes, there are a few steps you can take to find relevant resources:

1. Start with general research: Begin by searching for information on women in colonial times. Look for books, articles, or websites that provide an overview of women's roles and accomplishments during that period.

2. Use well-known historical figures as starting points: Look for notable women from colonial history who were not married at the time they achieved heroic acts. Examples could include political activists, writers, artists, or leaders in their communities.

3. Refer to historical sources: Check if there are any primary sources, such as diaries, letters, or official records, that mention heroic actions by non-married women during colonial times. These sources can offer direct insights and accounts of their contributions.

4. Consult academic journals and publications: Look for scholarly articles and books that specialize in women's history or colonial history. These sources may provide in-depth analysis and specific examples of heroic non-married colonial women.

5. Utilize libraries and archives: Visit your local library or access online databases to search for books and archival materials about colonial women. Librarians or archivists can also assist you in finding relevant resources.

Remember, finding specific non-married colonial women who were heroes may be challenging due to limited historical documentation. However, conducting thorough research using these steps will increase your chances of discovering valuable information.
