Chapter: The Quakers page 116-117: "The leading family of Quakers in Isle of Wight and Nansemond were the Jordans. Their vicissitudes of fortune are more frequently mentioned in the Quaker records than those of any other family, and their history is more illustrative of the Quaker life of that day. Thomas Jordan was the first one of his family in Isle of Wight. According to the census of 1624-25 he was then twenty-four years of age and came over in the "Diana." At the time the census was taken he was then stationed at Pashebaighty (James City) and was one of Governor Sir George Yardley's men, probably a soldier, and Guard. On July 2, 1635, he received a grant of 900 acres of land in Isle of Wight, "Near the head of Pagan River on the western side of and old Indian town." He was residing in the county before this time as he represented the county in the House of Burgesses in 1629 and 1632. He made Commissioner of Warresquioake, (Isle of Wight County, Virginia) He followed the Puritan trek to Nansemond as he patented land there soon after receiving his Isle of Wight grant. The date of his death and the name of his wife are unknown. His children were: Thomas who married Margaret, daughter of Robert Brasseur: a daughter who married Thomas Davis: and probably Richard Jordan of Isle of Wight who married Elizabeth, daughter of Christopher Reynolds, in 1654."

Another reference to a connection between Richard and Thomas Jordan was made by Winslow. In "History of Perquimans County" she wrote an article on the Jordan family. It mostly concerned The Samuel/Thomas Jordan line. She included a comment on Richard Sr. as follows: "... Richard Jordan Sr. 'of Lower pish of Isle of Wight Co., planter' made a deed of gift to his son John of afsd, planter, 100a of Land at the mouth of Cypress Swamp. Mar. 30, 1679, Test' Richard, & Alice Jordan. This Richard had m prior to this date Elizabeth Reynolds, sister of John, who bequeathed to his sister, (wife of Richard Jordan) 800 lbs. of Tob in his will, Mar. 11, 1668. Isle of Wight Co. Records). The Richard here mentioned was probably a brother of Thomas (1) as he could not possibly have been Richard (s of Thomas). It is thought that John son of Richard Sr. came to Chowan Co, at a very early date."³

per WFT 13-2217: "Quaker family"

Probably born in Wiltshire, England, he came to Virginia in 1623 on the "Diana". He settled on land in Isle of Wight Co. which he received for paying for the transportation of the 18 men as colonists. In 1624-5 his name is on the list of Gov. Yardley's men, probably as one of the governor's guards. He also served in the House of Burgesses in 1629 and 1632. He probably died about 1644 as that is when the record of his land transactions stops.

Came to America in 1623 on the Diana and took up a land grant in 1624, which the Virginia Company had given his father who had never taken out the patent on it. He was a soldier with Sir George Yardly. He was the first of his family in the Isle of Wight Co., Va., and from which county he was a Burgess 1629-1932.

Several references state that he married Lucy Corker, daughter of William Corker and Lucy White and that he died in 1685. Actually, Lucy was born in 1659 and was married about 1684 to Thomas Jordan (1655-1685), son of Arthur Jordan and Elizabeth of Surry County. Thus, the two Thomas Jordans have become confused. Thomas Jordan's (1600-1644) wife is not known and although it would seem certain that he had several children, only two are positively identified. Thomas Jordan II and Margaret Jordan who married James Davis.

      ; This Branch of the Jordan family probably originated in France and become associated with the reform movement (huguenots). They went to England and eventually came to the New World.

King James I of England granted a charter for settling two plantations in America; one in the Massachusetts area and the other in the Virginia area. The charter for the southern area was granted in 1606.

In December, 1606, three small ships and 104 colonists left England and arrived in Viriginia, May 14, 1607. This colony at Jamestown, VA, became the first permanent English Colony, notwithstanding the fact that it almost collapsed a time or two.

Samuel Jordan (1578-1623), the first of the Jordans to come to America, left Plymouth, England on June 18, 1609, and sailed for James Towne with the interim governor, Sir Thomas West. They sailed on the Seaventure with Sixe hundred land men in a fleet of eight good ships and one pinnance under the command of Sir George Somers, Somers flotilla encountered a severe storm near the Bermudas, which left the Seaventure unseaworthy. The other ships continued on their way to Jamestown. The passengers of the Seaventure, including Governor West, Samuel Jordan, and the Flotilla Commander, Sir George Somers, decided to stay in Bermuda and build two new ships, instead of attempting to repair the Seaventure, in order to carry additional food and supplies the island provided. Samuel Jordan was elected to keep the day-to-day journal because he was well educated.

Samuel's log serves as the basis of much of our information today. The shipwrecked persons built two new ships, the Patience and the Deliverer partly out of the wreckage of the Seaventure. They set sail again for James Towne, May 10, 1610, and arrived on July 25, 1610.

His first wife, whom he married in England, probably died before he departed for America. She was deadby 1620 as he was considered a special catch for any eligible woman at that time.

Samuel Jordan was a member of the first House of Burgesses, the first legislative body in the WesternWorld, a representative of James City, convened at James City, July 30, 1619, by Sir George Yardley, Knight, governor and Captaine General of Virginia.

A land grant of 450 acres was conveyed by Gov. Yardley, December 10. 1620, to Samuel and Cecily Jordan, which lay on the south side of the James river just below the confluence of the Appomattox with the James, and he called his plantation "Jordan's Journey". He built a manor house on it which he spoke of as "Beggars' Bush". Both Samuel and Cicely have been accorded the title of "Ancient Planter, by Virginia. When an Indian uprising occured in that vicinty on March 22, 1622, Samuel gathered his family and neighbors into his home, fortified it, and survived. But his son, Robert, was killed by the Indians.

Samuel Jordan was aboard the Seaventure, as were Sir Thomas Gates, the Governor, and Sir George Somers. A sever storm was encountered off the coast of Bermuda in the latter part of July 1609. The Seaventure was wrecked beyond repair. The other ships outrode the storm and proceeded to Jamestown with the Seaventure's cargo, but none of her passengers.

The officers and crew of the Seaventure remained on the coast of Bermuda for nine months building two ships, aptly named Patience and Deliverer. The ships arrived at Jamestown in May 1610. Samuel Jordan, an educated man, was assigned the task of keeping a record of events which are found in Hakluytls "Voyages, Travels and Discoveries.''

In 1618 Samuel married Cicely a widow with a young daughter, Temperance Bailey. Cicely was born in England in 1600 and arrived in America in 1610 aboard the Swan. I have also read that she was his cousin through William Phippen and Joan Jordaine.

Samuel Jordan was a member of the first House of Burgesses, a representative of St. James City, which was convened in 1619 by George Yeardley, Governor and Captain general of Virginia. This was the first legislative body to convene in America.

A land grant of four hundred and fifty acres was made at St. James City in 1620 to Samuel and Cicely. He patented the land, which lay on the south side of the James River just below the confluence of the Appomattox with the James. He called his plantation "Jordan's Journey" or "Jordan's Point." Both Samuel and Cicely were accorded the title of Ancient Planters.

Samuel Jordan and Cicely received land grants for being "Ancient Planters". On one of these grants on the south side of James River, Samuel built a very large plantation called "Jordan's Journey", where he and his family survived the Indian Massacre. However, Samuel died the following year in March 1623 at his home, called "Beggars Bush" (present locationis Prince George Co., Virginia). When the Indian Massacre-occurred in March 1622, Samuel gathered his family and neighbors into his home and fortified it. His son, Robert, was killed by the Indians "at Berkley-Hundred some five miles from Charles City." Although it would seem that Thomas Jordan had several children, only one is on record.

Thomas Jordan II was born in Virginia in 1634; died 1700. He married Margaret Brashere in 1659, the daughter of Robert Brashere of Huguenot decent.

He was the first Quaker of his family and became very prominent in that faith. He had ten sons, some of whom became Quaker ministers, and two daughters. All his children were born in Nansemond County, Virginia.

Samuel's name is inscribed on the momument erected on the site of Jamestown Virginia. In 1619 he was a nember of the first House of Burgesses, from Charles City. Samual Jordan came to america on June 10, 1610...

FIRST RECORDS OF JORDANS IN VIRGINIA

Listen all you Thomas descendants, did you know your ancestor Samuel Jordan sailed on 2 June 1609 from England aboard the Seaventure as one of the 400 passengers in Sir George Somer's fleet of eight ships. He was an English gentleman who was to plan an important part in the continued success of the James Towne Colony.

All went well with Somer's flotilla until it encountered a terrific tropical storm near the Bermudas. After the storm had subsided, it was found that seven of the ships in the flotilla were still seaworthy, but the eighth... the Seaventure carrying 150 of the passengers, including the officials and many of the English gentlemen, was hopelessly stranded between two coral reefs.

The unspoiled food and equipment on the Seaventure was transferred to the other ships. The passengers chose to remain of the island. Soon after the seven ships of the flotilla had become mere specks on the distant horizon, Sir George Somers, our Samuel Jordan, and a group of stranded passengers set out to repair the Seaventure and free her from the menacing coral rocks. They soon found the ship damaged beyond repair and a new one had to be built.

It was decided to build two ships in order to transfer the supplies they hoped to gather on this most productive island to the colony in Virginia. For nine months, the stranded men worked in shifts. Some of them worked at building the boats - the Patience and the Deliverer - another group hunted wild hog, another fished; and still another group made salt from the sea water for the preservation of fish and meat. Another group was assigned to catching giant turtles and rendering them into oil. At offtimes, groups of men hunted for pearls.

All of the aforementioned tasks were performed by day: but at night, by the light from wooden torches, there was another task to be done. It was the task of keeping a day - by - day journal of log of the most trivial happenings of the day. Because he was well educated, this task fell to our Samuel Jordan, or S'el Jourdan as he signed his work. It is said that S'el Jourdan's efforts in recording the tropical storm that Sir George Somer's flotilla encountered suggested to Shakespeare the setting of his play "The Tempest".

You can find part of the log written by S'el Jourdan, which is captioned "A Descovery of the Barmudas" otherwise called "Isles of Devils", printed in Hakluyt's Voyages, Travels and Discoveries, Volume 5, page 555.

After arriving at James Towne the following year, Samuel Jordan established his plantation at Jordan's Journey, Nansemond County, Virginia. He named his home "Beggars Bush". Samuel Jordan was elected from Charles City as a representative to the House of Burgesses. He was a representative at the first representative assembly in the New World being elected July 30, 1619 at Jamestown, Virginia.

Samuel survived the Indian massacre of 1622 and died in 1623. He was survived by three sons; Thomas, Samuel, and Robert and two daughters; Mary and Margaret.

The name of the first wife of Samuel is unknown. He was married prior to leaving England in either France or England.

I have done much research on Samuel-- perhaps too much. he seems to have become a hobby with me but I am quite impressed with having an ancestor who was here in America at it's very beginning. I have a lot of information gathered from various sources and will try to document dates and facts. Other information is included in these notes as background.

Thomas Jr. m- Margaret Brassieur
Margaret m- James Davis.

This Thomas born 1600 in England and died in Chuckatuck, Nasemond Co, VA in 1644 some 15 yrs before birth of Lucy Corker.

Lucy was born in 1659 and married to a Thomas Jordan, son of Arthur & Elizabeth Jordan of Surrey Co. , VA in 1683/4....he was born in 1655 & d- 1685/6, ca 3 yrs after marriage and leaving her with 2 sons. Her father, (William Corker was a Burgess for James City 1655-56 & a Capt of Militia. in 1641. His will, made in 4 Sept 1677 (33 yrs after Thomas Jordan 1600-1644 had died and 15 yrs before Lucy was born in 1658/9.

Thomas I (wife n/k) Jordan's son ... Thomas Jr. m Margaret Brassieur and they had 10 sons....lastborn, Joshua, was my 10th ggf. Thomas Jr joined the Quakers after his marriage to Margaret and if you ever obtain Chuckatuck VA meeting records they suffered for their faith, in many ways, but remained faithful.

It is vey possible in many families of hose times up until turn of century 1900 for every child in a family to marry and name children ater pareents & siblings, thus you find duplication of names in childrens offspring. etc and continues on into following generations.

The first Thomas Jordan had a brother Sanuel named after their father who later lived in Surrey Co. VA and perhaps it is some of his offspring who married Lucy Corker in 1684.

I hope I have not offended you with this message, but I hate to see in print for all to read, info that is not right.

Thomas, son of Samuel Jordan, m to wife (name not known) and had two known children..
Thomas Jr. m- Margaret Brassieur
Margaret m- James Davis.

This Thomas born 1600 in England and died in Chuckatuck, Nasemond Co, VA in 1644 some 15 yrs before birth of Lucy Corker.

Lucy was born in 1659 and married to a Thomas Jordan, son of Arthur & Elizabeth Jordan of Surrey Co. , VA in 1683/4....he was born in 1655 & d- 1685/6, ca 3 yrs after marriage and leaving her with 2 sons. Her father, (William Corker was a Burgess for James City 1655-56 & a Capt of Militia. in 1641. His will, made in 4 Sept 1677 (33 yrs after Thomas Jordan 1600-1644 had died and 15 yrs before Lucy was born in 1658/9.

Thomas I (wife n/k) Jordan's son ... Thomas Jr. m Margaret Brassieur and they had 10 sons....lastborn, Joshua, was my 10th ggf. Thomas Jr joined the Quakers after his marriage to Margaret and if you ever obtain Chuckatuck VA meeting records they suffered for their faith, in many ways, but remained faithful.

It is vey possible in many families of hose times up until turn of century 1900 for every child in a family to marry and name children ater pareents & siblings, thus you find duplication of names in childrens offspring. etc and continues on into following generations.

The first Thomas Jordan had a brother Sanuel named after their father who later lived in Surrey Co. VA and perhaps it is some of his offspring who married Lucy Corker in 1684.

I hope I have not offended you with this message, but I hate to see in print for all to read, info that is not right.

      ; Born at Chuckatuck, Nansemond Co., VA, 1634-7-7 and died in December of 1699. in Isle of Wight Co., Thomas married ca. 1658-9 in Isle of Wight Co. to Margaret Brasseur., b. 1642, Sept. and died 1708-12-07, a dt. of Robert Brasseur. Robert was born ca. 1620 in Avignon, France, and died 1665 in Calvert Co., Md. The Brasseurs were Huguenots and lived for a time in Virginia, but because of religious persecution, Robert moved to Maryland, where conditions were more tolerable. During the spread of the Quaker movement in Virginia by George Fox, a noted minister from England, the young girl Margaret became converted at the age of 16, and she was evidently influential in persuading others of the Jordan family and their neighbors to also join this Quaker group, also called the Society of Friends. Because of their belief, both Thomas and Margaret Jordan suffered much persesution by the authoritites, having their tobacco crops and other property confiscasted, paying heavy fines, and even spending months in prison. Of the ten children, eight remained in the Quaker faith with Thomas and Samuel becoming Episcopalians.

Cecily Reynolds died on 12 September 1660 at Charles City Co., Virginia, USA.⁷
      ; CICELY REYNOLDS came to America in 1611 with her mother and brother. At the age of 14, she married THOMAS BAILEY. They had the one daughter, TEMPERANCE. Shortly after THOMAS BAILEY died, CICIELY married SAMUEL JORDAN. These folks had one son, RICHARD, and along with the PIERCE family were survivors of the Jamestown Massacre of 1622. Not long after the Massacre, SAMUEL JORDAN died. Within three or four days of SAMUEL JORDAN's death, CICELY seemingly agreed to become, in due course, the wife of Rev. GREVILLE POOLEY, who sought to hold her to her promise. But, WILLIAM FARRAR, the administrator of her late husband's estate, was also a contender for her hand, and the successful one, causing the first breach of promise suit in America. The case reached London where the Council for Virginia returned it to Virginia, "not knowinge how to decide so nice a difference" and desired "the resolution of Civill Lawiers". The matter was resolved, January 1624, when POOLEY withdrew his suit and gave bond that he would make no further claim. Thereafter, FARRAR and CICELY REYNOLDS BAILEY JORDAN were married for, at court held May 2, 1625, FARRAR's bond as administrator was ordered cancelled. The couple had five children. WILLIAM FARRAR died in 1635. So, CICELY REYNOLDS BAILEY JORDAN FARRAR married PETER MONTAGUE. PETER had come to Jamestown in 1621 aboard the "Charles" at the age of 18. PETER and CICELY had seven children. PETER MONTAGUE died in 1660. Then, CICELY REYNOLDS BAILEY JORDAN FARRAR MONTAGUE married THOMAS PARKER. There were no children from this marriage, and PARKER died in 1663 in Isle of Wight, Virginia. He was the father of at least 16 children by two former wives. We have no idea what happened to CICELY after that, except that she must have had some family reunions.:
!The following is from the book "the Farrars" by William B. and Ethyl Farrrar--
CICILY FARRAR-- Interesting accounts of Cicily Jordan Farrar are found
wheneverthe genealogy of the Farrrar family is given. Below are portions of two
stories.

Altogether the Indians in the Massacre of 1622 slaughtered 14 men, women and children, including six members of the Royal Council. Capt. Samuel Jordan fortified Beggars' Bush, known later as Jordan's Journey, and he lived there "despite the enemy. Jordan died a year later, and there was a rush for the hand of his beautiful young wife, led by the Rev. Greville Pooley. Jordan had been in his grave only a day when Pooley sent Capt. Isaac Madison to plead his suit. Cecily replied that she would as soon take Pooley as any other, but as she was pregnant, she would not engage herself she said, "until she was delivered." But the amorous Reverend could not wait, and came a few days later with Madison, telling her "he should contract himself to her" and spake these words: "I, Greville Poooley, take thee Sysley, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold till death do us part and herto I plight thee my troth." Then, holding her by the hand he spake these words, "I, Sysley, take thee Greveille, to my wedded husband, to have and to hold till death do us part." Cicily said nothing, but they drank to each other and kissed. Then, showing some delicacy about her condition and the situation she found herself in, she asked that it might not be revealed that she did so soon bestow her love after her husband's death. Pooley promised, but was soon boasting of his conquest, very impetuously for "Sysley" now engaged herself to William Farrar, one of the Deputy Treasurer's younger brothers, and member of the Council. Enraged, Pooley brought suit for breach of promise. The case too much for the the authorities at Jamestown, who referred it to London.

The jilted Pooley soon found solace in a bride, it appears, but met a tragic death in 1629, when Indians attacked his house, and slew him, his wife and all his family.

(From "Behold Virginia" by G.F. Willison--1951) Going up the James River you pass Harrison's Landing, Berkely, the Forest --- the next projection of land round which the river leads is Jordan's Point, where once lived the too fascinating widow, Cecily Jordan, whose history recalls another instance of the striking difficulty James River men had in holding their sweethearts to their promises. This headstrong lady provided the unique instance of a woman being sued by a man for breach of promise. When her husband died he left her so comfortably provided sith worldly goods that hereby, in addition to her other charms, she became quite irresistible to Capt. William Farrar, kinsman to the Deputy Treasusrer of the Colony, and also the Rev. Greville Pooley, minister of the Parish; and apparnetly they were quite irresistible to her for she engaged herself to broth. The person sued. Though he lost his case and had to sign a formal release to the Widow Cecily bonding himself in the sum 500 L. never to have any claim, right or title to her, the Governor and Council of the Colony were so stirred by the extraordinary incident that they issued a solmn proclamation against a woman engaging herself to more than one man at a time. And there is not in Virginia any known record that this edict has ever been revoked.

(From "Tidewater Virginia" 1929) The career of the fascinating Cecily as a heartbreaker caused the General Assembly to pass a law for the protection of Virginia bachelors, and gave her a place in history. When the Parson sued, 14 June 1623, Capt. William Farrar, trained for the law in England and now the attorney who administered her husband's estate, successfuly defended Mrs. Jordan in what was the first breach of promise suit in America, winning not only the suit but his client in matrimony. The Governor and Council could not bring themselves to decide the questions and continued it until 27 Nov., then referred the case to the Council for Virginia in London, "desiring the resolution of the civil lawyers thereon and a speedy return thereof." But they declined to make a decision and returned it, saying they "knew not how to decide so nice a difference." After the Rev. Pooley signed the release, Cecily "contracted herself before the Governor and Council to Captain William Farrar." Counselor Farrar was seven years older than his wife, Cecily. As far as is known they had only two children--sons. The numerous descendants of Counselor William and Cecily Farrar all stem from the elder son, Col. William Farrar, Jr.
